How to Reset the Air Bag Lights in a 1995 Nissan Sentra

You can reset the airbag light on your 1995 Nissan Sentra without the aid of any special tools. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) light will illuminate on the instrument panel when there is a malfunction with the airbag assembly. When this light turns on, have the vehicle towed to a mechanic rather than risk driving it. Theres always the chance the airbag will accidentally deploy while you are driving it. When the problem has been repaired, shut off the SRS light yourself.

Instructions

Look for and open the fuse panel cover. You can find it underneath the steering column. Pull down on it from the top using your fingers.

Find the yellow plug. This is the electrical connector for the airbag system. Pull this plug out of the panel.

Wait 10 minutes, then secure the yellow plug back in place. Put the fuse panel cover back on.

Put the key into the ignition and start the engine. Look at the instrument panel to verify that the SRS light has turned off.

How to Reset the Air Bag Light on a 1993 Toyota Corolla

A 1993 Toyota Corolla comes equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics, computer system that reads and stores trouble codes sent to it from sensors placed throughout the vehicle. The sensors keep track of all of the vehicles mechanical systems. When the air bag (or SRS -- Supplemental Restraint System) light illuminates on your dashboard, you need to have the vehicle checked right away to prevent a malfunctioning air bag. Once you have completed the repairs, reset the air bag light right away, so the computer will continue to monitor the air bag system properly.

Instructions

Find the fuse panel cover on the dashboard between the steering column and the drivers door. Pull down on the panel cover with your fingers to open it. It may take a good tug to release the retaining clip.

Locate a yellow connector inside the fuse panel and remove it from the panel.

Unfold a paperclip and attach each end if it to each of the terminals on the connector. This will short the light out.

Put the connector back in the fuse panel and replace the cover.

Put the key into the ignition and start the engine. Verify that the air bag light has turned off.
