Was quoted £350 for this job, watched this video a few times. Bought a new squib of eBay for £13. Jobs done in an hour! Found a link that showed me how to reset the airbag light.
Thank you for your video, I have watched your video twice and just replaced the squib and it knocked off the airbag light thank you may the road always rise to meet you
Thank you, brilliant video and enabled me as a novice to save at least £300! I have managed to throw my steering alignment sensor out though. I can't find a fix for this though without a scan tool.
Fantastic video. Seems to have worked for my Qashqai +2. Purchased the part off Ebay for about £20 so very happy. When I rotated the inside of the old one, you could feel that there was quite a bit of play, so I'm guessing that some connection is no longer being made. Been driving around for months with a flashing light which is very bad I know - one less thing to worry about for the MOT in a couple of weeks. Many thanks. ( I also had to clear the code using the turning the key, waiting 5 seconds method!)
Hi mate Can I please ask I have a qashqai +2 2013 tekna Is yours the same year? It's not easy to find the right part because the serial numbers don't match on eBay. How did you know to get the right one? Do you have cruise control and did yours have two connecting leads?
@@Android-vk8yh purevue was the eBay seller. I sent my details to them and they responded very quickly confirming the correct one. Mine is the 2011 +2 so possibly not the same. 1218sd was the number printed on top of my original one if that helps. I took off the steering wheel as practice and to check the code on the part then just put it all back and ordered. It is very easy to do. I did take some photos of that helps . Happy to email them
@@neilphillips6576 thank you for your replies. Much appreciated. Did yours have two leads to plug in? I think if you have cruise control is normally two?
Just used this video to swap the clockspring on our 2015 model - VERY helpful !!! Although first time round I did get the Two yellow DSP lights on the dash after the repair, I had a look in the comments and soon realised that I had not lined up the Two grooves with the sensor. I did the ignition on and off Three times to get the red airbag light in to the diagnostic mode and this cleared the flashing light for good as my code reader will only do the ECU codes. Thanks for your help with the video!

Brilliant, just had a failed turbo fixed on my Qashqai but it also had this issue plus another one with the exhaust valve but can't afford to fix either after paying an arm and a leg for a new turbo fitted. Will give this a go as looks pretty simple.
Great video, thanks! :) Actually I just wanted to see how to proceed to change the turn indicator lever/group and your video is great also for that. I now found out that it is not necessary to remove the steering wheel to open the cover behind :) This allows to solve quite easily the well known problem of the direction indicator keeping blinking 3 or 4 times, after the lever has gone back to the off position (models around 2007 /2012) ;)
wached this video , purchased the clock spring from ebay for less than £15 delivered, fitted in 30 mins only fiddly bit was to remove the steering wheel cover /air bag.
Nice vid thanks. I have a 2012 Nissan qashqai 1.5 and I have a flashing airbag code 12 low voltage. Could this mean the clock spring needs replacing as my cheap db code reader doesn’t display any fault code only the diagnostic single blink long double blink airbag indicator light or am I looking at a different fix?
Code 12 is normally related to drivers airbag / Clockspring. A diagnostic investigation by a competent person would be my best advice before guessing at parts. Good luck 👍
My sons in Nissan Dealer Tunbridge Wells as I type this. Hes having this done and the part is £375. i just found your vid becuase i didnt know what he was talking about. Now I do! He said aftermarl=ket part could be a little as £45, but as he has 3 kids etc, he wont risk and in his defence, they are not short of a few bob- unlike his pensioner Dad...
Thanks, very good and useful video. I just finish with replacing airbag squib (AliExpress OEM part, close to genuine ) and reset with ignition key (3*5 sec switch off-switch on...) for know SRS light its not flashing. So, is it enough, or its necessary to erase error with OBD tool -computer ? Thanks again.
That's a good video but where do you recommend getting the squib from? It can be £200 from Nissan and there's a million and one different combinations of leads and connectors. I believe mine's a j10 like your one cash car plus two but it has cruise control so I think it's a dual connector?
I've only used genuine dealer parts so no problems getting the right one. Only downside is they're quite expensive. I suppose if you could get the part number off the old one you might be able to cross reference it to a pattern part. 👍
There's a couple of different types. One has a 2 stage airbag (2 wires) and the other is a single stage airbag (1 wire). If you buy it from Nissan they will supply the correct one.
Horn not working can be related but engine management light doesn't normally appear with this fault. A scan of the ecu will identify the reason the light is on.
yes u can but if there a fault it will still come back up, Ive done both thro the diagnostic kit cleared it and ignition stil came up Now i either need to replace module or spring coz there something up clearly
Hi. Great vid. Found whilst looking for squib replacement guidance, but my issue is not airbag related… I’ve got no fault codes but the cruise control is not working - would this usually through out a code if it’s squib/spring clock related? I note from previous comments it might be worth getting the switch itself tested, so the video has helped to get to that as well anyway! ;)
hi I am also having the same issue with my Nissan Qashqai 1.6 N Tech plus 2, 2012 but I am not sure how can I buy the right parts, can you send me the link to buy the right parts please
Hi there, was it just the clock sping you replaced ? Also did the steering wheel controls still work even before you changed it. Ie volumn and cruise etc. Thanks
@@Automotive_Solutions my airbag light is on. But was told if the clock spring is kaput then the volume, cruise phone don't work then, but mine are all working. Will order the clock spring the now. Thank you!!!
If the problem is in clocksrping, will the controls on the steering wheel work, because i have a problem with slow blinking airbag light? Thanks. In the garage said its clockspring.
There's a tab that needs pressing as you pull them out. I know one has to come out before the other. I think grey first then yellow. Get a mirror to have a look at the tabs first so you know what your up against and make sure your battery is disconnected during the whole process. 👍
Although it's a common problem it still needs diagnosing as there can be many faults that will make the airbag light flash. Last time I bought one from Nissan it was about £160. Most garages would probably charge an hour or twos labour to fit it.
OK how the bloody hell do I get those two clips off? Stuck at the first hurdle here just stabbing blind inside me steering wheel trying to even vaguely touch where they might be. Is there a trick to it? Or is it just incredibly badly designed?
All airbags are much the same. As the video shows you need to press the metal thin bar with a screwdriver at 90° to the bar. Push down on the airbag and pull on it and hopefully it will pop out the clips. Once you get it in your hands and look it's a very simple but fiddly design. Don't forget to disconnect the battery 👍. Good luck.
@@Automotive_Solutions Yeah managed to get it out shortly after - I'll push down next time as that was probably the issue. One weird design thing mind is they put all the plastic electrical connectors for the clock spring directly behind where you're expected to stab in the dark with a screwdriver.. oh well nothing broken and found out the part number I actually needed - here's hoping the actual replacement goes smoothly now! Saves us £150 or something on what the garage quoted us!
@@Automotive_Solutions well the good news is getting it changed was easy and got the knack of getting the airbag off eventually, but after reassembly the steering wheel sits at an angle in the neutral position. Not sure what's up since I lined up the arrow on the wheel with the line on the bolt for the steering column.. car drives fine and if you let go a second it goes in a straight line, just the wheel is crooked.
Bonjour , pouvez me donner une référence ou une équivalence de votre contacteur tournant car j ai essayé un z3 de chez auto doc mais pas compatible , j ai un 4 L 21025 sd comme vous sur la vidéo merci
Replaced the clockspring but problem still persists, what would you recommend next? the airbag light flashes one long flash followed by a pause and two short flashes. Don't have a diagnostic computer and don't really want to pay out as just fixing up an 07 qashqai for a bit of fun don't want to spend unless I really have to
I'd recommend getting someone qualified to check it over. The airbag is a safety system after all. No point keep throwing parts at it hoping you'll find the problem. Sometimes it's cheaper and more cost effective to let the right person look at it. Good luck. 👍
@@Automotive_Solutions I'm currently running on a zero budget basis lol. Replacing the clockspring fixed the steering wheel controls so that's one positive, just need this airbag light off and a new dpf on and it should get through an mot.
@@Automotive_Solutions Turned out to be a airbag module, borrowed a friends and error cleared, put mine back on and error came back. managed to get one for £30 at a breakers. problem solved. Now for the DPF lol. got code P1435, my theory is a new dpf will clear this?
@@evripidous - cheap fix for the airbag light 👍. Not sure about that code but dpf might need a professional clean and / or replaced. Need to rule out any other problems preventing the dpf from regenerating. Possible software update but that would need dealer level tool to check.
Hi awesome vid, think I'll attempt this myself on my 2011 QQ+2 2.0d.... can I ask how did you know the part you needed, as I have read up there are 2x available, 1 with 1 yellow plug and 1 with an orange and yellow plug, thanks.
I have a flashing airbag light on my 2008 Nissan Qashqai. I also have that noise when you turn the steering wheel. The cruise control switches on the steering wheel have never worked (I bought the car second hand). If I move the steering wheel all the way to the left and keep it forced to the left, the cruise control can be activated but as soon as I left go of the steering wheel, cruise control cuts out. So, my question is, can changing the clockspring help with the cruise control as well as the airbag light? Ta!
@@Automotive_Solutions Changed the clockspring today. Airbag light gone, cruise control now working, but as I drove off the drive the ESP light came on with the word 'off' underneath it. I tried switching it back on via the button to bottom right of the driver console but that does nothing. Any ideas? I did a straight one for one swap.
Thanks for this, Just changed mine, On my way to a friends house to get the airbag fault cleared i got another fault on traction control. Did you experience this at all? We used diagnostics to clear the airbag fault and all is well but does not show any traction control errors despite 2 2 warning lights being on.
@@Automotive_Solutions Thanks for the reply, no errors in ecu which is odd. I'm thinking as the steering wheel sensor is on the back of the squib that I may have damaged it or its wiring while transferring it over. Ill have a poke about over the holidays. Thanks for your time.
@@Automotive_Solutions Found the problem. Was looking at the old part and realised there were 2 grooves on the inside where steering sensor goes. i never noticed these when i transferred the sensor to the new squib. Took car apart again and the tabs on sensor were about 45 Degrees out. Realigned them and hey presto fault gone. Thanks for the great video and help. Brian
Depends where in the world you are but in UK around £300-£400 in main dealer. Cheaper at an independent. Ring your local garage to get an idea. Good luck.
The left side wheel buttons on my Qashqai stopped working some time ago, but the right side ones work just fine, and there are no airbag errors. I'm guessing the problem is the same part, right?
Hello i changed this part 2 times first time the esp light start flashing because of wrong part then ordered a new used part. Now airbag light is of but steerig wheel buttons dont work. Not music level buttons or any of the cruise control buttons work.. do you guys think its somthing wrong with this part as well or do i need to code it to my ECU
- I'm afraid used parts are always a bit of a lottery. I always use genuine Manufacturers parts for these repairs. If the steering wheel buttons worked before but not now then the part is either faulty or you've not connected the wiring up properly.
@@flashybike1 yes, I replaced the squib and it solved everything. Purchased from AliExpress for ~ €50 I think. Nothing too complicated involved. Disconnect earth from battery, few pieces of trim/ indicator stalk to remove (easy), then 2 relatively long flathead screwdrivers to unlatch the springs/hooks that secure driver airbag to centre of steering wheel (there is a hole each side to insert them). Then you'll need a socket (can't remember size) to remove steering wheel. Note the marking on both column and wheel. Remove wheel and squib is beneath. There could be a video of someone taking this repair on TH-cam now, it's been a few years since I did this and I have since sold the vehicle. All the best, G. Edit: Just noticed this is a video of someone taking repair lol
Hi. My airbag light won’t go off. It’s been reset a few times but always starts flashing again. The code is a ‘past b1129’ code. Any advice would be great!
Hi great tutorial, i have been given the same fault code for my 2010 qashqai & quoted £250 for the repair. U said u used a genuine nissan part for £160....do u kno if there are any cheaper non-nissan parts that wud work as i really cant afford £160 & i need to fix the issue to get it thru its mot. Thanks
Hi, i managed to get a used genuine part & fitted it today no problems. Airbag light went out but now my traction control is on , cud this have anything to do with the battery being disconnected or is it something ive done
@@jojobabycakes secondhand is always a gamble. Did it come with the steering angle sensor still attached? - see 9 mins 15 seconds into my video. If it did then make sure the wiring is connected properly. You can always fit your old angle sensor onto the clock spring assembly. You may have to have it fixed by someone competent and with the right tools.
The airbag thing isn't very friendly indeed. Requires fidgeting about and you have to push in the side you wanna pop out. Then let go simultaneously. It will look like it's released 😂.

Only a single stage airbag . Haven't come across one in some time here .
+New Level Auto - yes just a single, getting less common now.
Did you have to disconnect the battery ??
Yes, any time working near airbags 👍

Good video buddy
did you use genuine part or aftermarket? thanks!
I would only use genuine parts for this item 👍
hey iv replaced my clock spring. airbag light went out but now esp lights are on with c1132 any help would be much appreicated.
tommy quinn - not come across that myself but double check all the wiring that you disturbed or disconnected.
will do thanks
I have a same problem with my Qashqai j10 2008, can you please tell me where was the problem on your car. Thanks
@@alvinkurbasic4230 my problem turned out to be the steering angle sensor.
tommy quinn was the angle sensor near the squib and if so how did u fix this?
hello, is this repairable?
Not that I know of. I'd rather fit new as your relying on it setting that airbag off in the event of a crash. 👍
The left side wheel buttons on my Qashqai stopped working some time ago, but the right side ones work just fine, and there are no airbag errors. I'm guessing the problem is the same part, right?
ComandanteJ - more than likely the same part but could just be the buttons on the steering wheel faulty.
Thanks for answering! I'll check them with a multimeter before ordering a new squib, then.
Hello i changed this part 2 times first time the esp light start flashing because of wrong part then ordered a new used part. Now airbag light is of but steerig wheel buttons dont work.
Not music level buttons or any of the cruise control buttons work.. do you guys think its somthing wrong with this part as well or do i need to code it to my ECU
- I'm afraid used parts are always a bit of a lottery. I always use genuine Manufacturers parts for these repairs. If the steering wheel buttons worked before but not now then the part is either faulty or you've not connected the wiring up properly.
Or did you buy the spiral cable from Nissan Qashqai? And at what price? Thank you.
- bought from Nissan main dealer. Approx £160.
Hi, Left side buttons only not working on mine, horn also works intermittently. Could it be loose connection or should I replace the squib? Cheers
You'll need someone with some electronic knowledge to do some testing before replacing the squib.
@@Automotive_Solutions My background is mech engineering, I should know lol. Might get the multimeter out the weekend. Thanks for the reply
Mines the same. All buttons work when the wheel is rotated 90 degrees. I suspect squib on mine. How did you fix yours?
@@flashybike1 yes, I replaced the squib and it solved everything. Purchased from AliExpress for ~ €50 I think. Nothing too complicated involved.
Disconnect earth from battery, few pieces of trim/ indicator stalk to remove (easy), then 2 relatively long flathead screwdrivers to unlatch the springs/hooks that secure driver airbag to centre of steering wheel (there is a hole each side to insert them).
Then you'll need a socket (can't remember size) to remove steering wheel. Note the marking on both column and wheel. Remove wheel and squib is beneath.
There could be a video of someone taking this repair on TH-cam now, it's been a few years since I did this and I have since sold the vehicle.
All the best,
G.
Edit:
Just noticed this is a video of someone taking repair lol
Hello my car air bag light is on . Nissan cashqai 2009. Anyone know who can fix or Which Garrage can fix please
Hi. My airbag light won’t go off. It’s been reset a few times but always starts flashing again. The code is a ‘past b1129’ code. Any advice would be great!
My info shows that as front right side airbag. You need someone to test, confirm and repair it.
Automotive Solutions many thanks indeed. I’ll mention this when it goes back to the garage.
Hi great tutorial, i have been given the same fault code for my 2010 qashqai & quoted £250 for the repair. U said u used a genuine nissan part for £160....do u kno if there are any cheaper non-nissan parts that wud work as i really cant afford £160 & i need to fix the issue to get it thru its mot. Thanks
I wouldn't use anything other than genuine for that part. Sorry.
Hi, i managed to get a used genuine part & fitted it today no problems. Airbag light went out but now my traction control is on , cud this have anything to do with the battery being disconnected or is it something ive done
@@jojobabycakes secondhand is always a gamble. Did it come with the steering angle sensor still attached? - see 9 mins 15 seconds into my video. If it did then make sure the wiring is connected properly. You can always fit your old angle sensor onto the clock spring assembly. You may have to have it fixed by someone competent and with the right tools.
Thank you😃👍
Brilliant, thank you
Cheers 😁👍
Hi i know this one while ago but what rough price on this in a garage
You need to ring around your local garages but anyone using genuine parts will be quoting a few hundred pounds.
thank you.
Saved me £400 quid at the dealer. Muppets
The airbag thing isn't very friendly indeed. Requires fidgeting about and you have to push in the side you wanna pop out. Then let go simultaneously. It will look like it's released 😂.
@@redseantlworld yes, releasing those clips on the airbag is probably the hardest part of the whole job. 👍😁
thnx
Where can I get that part from? Thx
Felix Gold - I got it from the main dealer.
Aynı sorun benim araçta da var ama
F a b. Ta.
Where can i buy this clock spring from ?
I've only ever bought them from Nissan main dealer.
