The Nissan Path

Has anyone done it? Apart from the horribly rusted nuts holding my horribly corroded sensor to the mildly rusted bracket, it looks pretty easy.

I'm getting the #6 code on the airbag diagnostics. I know this was a recall item, but mine was allegedly done already. I may be better off doing it myself anyway. Resetting the light is easy enough, but it fails for me now every time upon a restart.

After some back-and-forth with courtesyparts.com, I think I have the correct part # 98581-ZL10B. From diagrams (www.courtesyparts.com/oe-nissan/98581zl10b) it looks like this may include the front and rear brackets as well as the bolts and nuts. From a picture on ebay, it looks like it may be just the sensor with nuts?

Pricing is crazy - $156-177 from parts.nissanusa.com through one of my local dealers, $105 from Courtesy, or as low as $85 on ebay or 3rd parties via amazon.

It should be a simple bolt off and bolt on operation. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable and let the vehicle sit for 10 minutes before you start working on it.

Just had mine done on Recall a few months ago. Nissan did it all for free.

I just verified with Nissan USA that my front crash zone sensor was replaced under recall in 2009. I guess the "improved" part didn't improve too much. Actually, the corroded sensor behind my grill now looks like the originals I'm seeing online, and fairly different than the part currently being sold. This feels like my regressive failures on the "improved" fuel floats all over again - each of the 3 was worse than the one it replaced.

My air bag light is currently on ( 2008) and I saw online regarding crash sensor. Nissan USA said this was replaced in 2009 so I asked if it turns out the issue is that part will Nissan cover it. Try said to send all info such as invoice , service adviser to Nissan and would fwd to management to see if it can be reimbursed. Wouldn't hurt to try if you go dealer route.
I'm hoping my issue is seat belts so it's covered under Warrenty ( 99,999 miles / 10 years)
