Why is My Airbag Light Flashing on My Nissan Maxima?

On my drive home from work the other day I noticed my airbag light flashing on my Nissan Maxima and it won’t stop. Do you know why my Nissan Maxima’s airbag light is flashing?

I’m sorry to hear that your airbag light is flashing—this can be a confusing warning. Your Nissan Maxima’s airbag light might be flashing if you’ve recently installed a radio, new car seats, or other electrical components.
Your airbag light is flashing because your car thinks there’s a problem with the airbag deployment system. Whether you’ve updated the electrical system inside your Maxima or not, it’s a good idea to bring your car to a professional to make sure the airbag system is working and the flashing light isn’t indicating a real problem.
If you’re sure your airbags aren’t malfunctioning, you can reset your airbag lights on your

to make sure.
Don’t drive your car with the airbag light flashing if you aren’t sure whether your airbags are actually malfunctioning. If you get in an accident you can seriously harm yourself.
Keeping an eye on your car’s airbag system is a great way to protect yourself on the roads, but the best way to make sure you’re covered is by signing up for great
car insurance
coverage at an affordable rate.
