Three times in the past 4 years, the air bag warning light was triggered when the battery was either disconnected/reconnected or jump started. Each time to re-activate the airbag safety system, I had to send out the air bag control module to have it reset. It is not expensive to do that , but it does mean one has to disassemble the center console, remove airbag control module and send it out to be reset. Additionally, during the time that the airbag light is on, my understanding is that the SRS is deactivated, which is obviously a safety hazard.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti G37. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the Occupant Classification System (OCS) varistor in the front passenger seat had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to the Manufacturer Recall Number: P8243. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
Air bag light indicator on dashboard continually flashes off and on…no reason for it to be doing so; i.e., the vehicle has had no impact to cause it to flash.
The passenger air bag light is on and flashing and all my controls for my steering wheel have stopped working including my horn!
SRS Air Bag light continues to flash after the vehicle is running. This causes the passenger airbag to stay off even if a passenger is buckled in the seat.
The passenger airbag light keep blinking like the sensor isn't not working, I did came and ask infiniti dealer if there's any recall and they said no
Airbag light randomly came one. I went into the dealership they said it was a sensor in my passenger seat and that it would cost 5k to replace. I was shocked. That is a manufactured problem and huge safety issue. I shouldn't have to pay for something like that when I already paid over 30k for the car. Not right.
The airbag light came illuminated. The repair shop traced it to a possible faulty sensor or possibly the passenger seat. The sensor must be ordered from infiniti at a cost of almost $1300.and it might take 10 days to get it. Plus $700 in labor. It might not fix it and it could be the seat which would be $5000. This is half or more of the value of the car. I have noted that this is a common problem with the 2008-2010 infinit's. I was referenced in the infiniti service bulletin as a known defect but they are not offering any recall or repair compensation. That means that a lot of people are driving around in the older infiniti's without air bags!!
Takata recall the passanger air bag light is on will not deploy airbag. Recalls was made but not for the VIN of the infiniti g37 coupe 2008. I called and made an appointment with infiniti and they are still saying their is no recall for the coupe model only the sedan.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 infiniti g37. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator flickered and the front passenger seat air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (mossy nissan kearny mesa 8118 clairemont mesa blvd, san diego, ca 92111 (858) 201-6606) where it was diagnosed that there was a failure in the occupant classification system control unit and it needed to be replaced along with the front passenger seat cushion. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and found the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v521000 (air bags, electrical system). The manufacturer and dealer confirmed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000. ..updated 07/13/17 *bf *js
The passenger airbag light is flashing. There was a past recall on this make, model and year for the very same issue. I have been told that my vehicle with less than 50k miles was not on the recall list. This is a safety issue which will be very expensive to repair and should be taken care of by infiniti as part of their recall. I do not understanding why this same issue does not include my VIN number but was applicable to other same make, model and year cars as mine. Are there any other avenues I can pursue to fight this?
On the approx. Date of incident, I started the vehicle in the morning and noticed the air bag light would blink and not turn off. After referencing the manual, I brought the vehicle into an infiniti dealership to be diagnosed. The diagnosis was that the passenger side airbag sensor had failed and would cost more than $2,700 to replace. I left without replacing the part. I notice this exact item has already been recalled for this exact make/model/year vehicle, but the manufacturer has told me that the recall was not for my specific VIN. This recall should be expanded to include all 2008 infiniti g37 vehicles.....updated 10/01/15
