SRS Airbag light on NX following paddle install

[keenkean]

Hi guys

Bit of a self inflicted issue:
- installed Scott and Marshall's paddle/paddle-mate combo last weekend
- whilst connecting that really awkward connection in the transmission tunnel I turned the engine on to move the transmission a bit further out of the way with airbag and steering wheel disconnected. I was busy scraping the skin off the back of my hand at the time and in a hurry.
- connected everything back fine and the SRS light came on
- I really don't think i damaged the clock spring. All of Scott and Marshall's stuff works flawlessly first go
- all the steering wheel buttons all work fine including horn
- coincidentally had the takata airbag replaced a week earlier

Looking for advice:
- should I take it to the dealer to ask them to clear the fault
- would one of those iCarsoft i909 modules off ebay clear the fault? The description claims they can clear SRS codes. I note that the standard ODBII connectors through torque pro can't clear the fault code. These devices are only $150-$230 and I'll have something I can reuse next time I do something dumb.
- other suggestions?

I have already pulled the airbag off yet again and reseated all the connectors including the one under the steering column.

Cheers

Once I turned on the car while I had the passenger airbag light disconnected and the srs ligth turned on (not in australia models it goes in the blank opposite the hazzard switch) had to go to the dealer to turn the srs ligth out, think yours is the same problem.

Hi Adam,

I'm sorry to hear that this is ongoing for you. I had a look at the icarsoft product you mentioned, and I'm not convinced it will do what you need - I believe you need compatibility with Mitsubishi Multi-Use Tool, or MUT 3, which isn't listed anywhere in the ad.

Do we have any members with a MUT 3 on the Central Coast who might be able to help you out?

Good luck!

Thanks Scott, I saw on the forum a 4-3 owner bought an icarsoft for the srs light and worked fine for them. I found an ebay code, $150 delivered, will find out in a week if my gamble pays off. I had toyed with the idea of removing the paddles and returning to MM for help, but the thought of going near that transmission tunnel connection with my hand traumatised me.

Cool! If it worked before, it should work again.

Yes, that connector is a bit of a challenge. It just needs a bit of faith - if you believe you can do it, you will.

Of course, it helps to have smaller hands, too...

Bloody brilliant! iCarsoft i909 works perfectly on NX pajero to clear airbag light. Very cheap for what it does.

Took 30 seconds, very much plug and play.
