My air bag light is blinking every second, not every 3 seconds on my 97 nissan altima, does anybody have any clue what it could be?

1. Turn the key from off to on. 2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly. 3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .) 4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times. 5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry. 6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing. If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

That worked excellent on my 2005 Altima! Thank you for the information,,,

It worked for me. After fixing, when ever i start the car i see the air bag indicator on for couple of second and goes off. I don't remember that i have noticed this before the issue. Can anyone tell me? Thanks

Mines is still blinking but 1 time slow then 2 times fast in that pattern

Helped with my fiancée's 2011 Nissan Cube. Thank you!

There are several reasons that your airbag light shows up. You can follow this procedure to reset it. - Start your ignition system by turning the key to the ON position, ensuring not to crank the engine. The airbag lights will stay on before they begin to flicker. - Switch the ignition system to OFF as soon as the light goes off and withdraw your key before the lights start flashing again. - Turn the ignition ON after 5 seconds. - Repeat the first and second steps twice. Notice that you will have a different blinking pattern after your last move. - Ensure you repeat steps 1 and 2 at least three times before cranking the engine. - See if the airbag light sign lights up for a few seconds before going OFF for good. However, if the blinking persists, loop through the steps indicated above for better results. Actually, you should find out the reasons before trying to reset it to make sure there is no hidden issues. https://www.obdadvisor.com/what-does-the-airbag-light-flashing-tell-nissans-owners/
