    98 Nissan Frontier Flashing Airbag light after accidentally disconnecting a

    wire. How do I reset it.? The Dealer wants 100 bucks and I just spent a ton of money at the junlk yard on replacement parts.. What can I do?

    I was told that I have to enter dianostic mode and tried the series of steps but I cannot get it to enter the mode. Please help.
    Micheal I am updating because before I read your post the air bag went off and I bit my tongue off... Haha just kidding.

    Actually I am updating cause what I did to get it to go out just blows me away. I turned the ignition to on and then pressed the door jam light switch 5 times. The flashing light starts flashing weird and then turns out. Then I turned it on and it is gone. No joke.

    Have you ever heard of this?...

    disconnect the battery first, and if you unplugged the ABS wire and you dont wait at least 5 minutes after disconnecting the battery, you risk the possiblity of the air bag going off. I have seen a mechanic bite off his tongue, when he removed the airbag to do a tiltwheel repair, and plug in the airbag and it went off.
    you cannot reset that light without a scan tool. Auto zone can reset the light for free after you do as I explained to reconnect the wire
    good luck

    On most every vehicle,the air bag light will go out once the fault is fixed without needing to do any thing else.There is probably still something disconnected.
