Just installed a Pioneer AVIC-D3 in my 07 Fronty. Of course, I powered it up while I had it all apart to make sure that everything was working correctly before I put it all back together.
Now my airbag light is flashing. I came across some instructions on the net for an install kit from a 05 - 06 fronty that says not to cycle the ignition key while the dash is removed or the airbag light will come on. Doh!
I suspect this has something to do with powering up the system while the indicator unit in the console is unpluged. It's probably sensed as a "failure".
Anyone know how this is fixed, or is there a trip to the stealership in my future?

Here's the process to reset the air bag light. I tried it and it works.
If you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:
1. Turn the key from off to on.
2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.
3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.
5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.
6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.
If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

lol....hopefully this will fix my air bag light. I did the same thing, except wiring up my CB radio on top of the dash. Had to remove the radio cover assembly to run my wires, then all of a sudden, my light started flashing.
I'll give this a try.

To prevent this in the future all the wiring harnesses should be reconnected before turning the key on. If you don't you will get the flashing air bag light.

Funny thing is on mine, I never disconnected any harnesses. I just pulled the dash cover off that surrounds the radio to run some wires behind the radio.

(2001 and older)
1. Open front door LH.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Press front door switch LH at least 5 times within 7 seconds
after turning ignition switch ON.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.
4. “AIR BAG” warning lamp operates in Diagnosis mode
OR: (2002 to 2005)
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2. After “AIR BAG” warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn ignition
switch “OFF” within 1 second. Remove key.
3. Wait more than 3 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 three times.
5. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.
6. “AIR BAG” warning lamp operates in Diagnosis mode
Note the pattern of the blinking (X long blinks followed by Y short blinks) and the number of short blinks will indicate what it is complaining about:
1 is the driver's seatbelt pre-tensioner
2 is the driver airbag
3 is the passenger seatbelt pre-tensioner
6 is the crash zone sensor on the radiator support
7 is the airbag diagnosis sensor
8 is the passenger airbag
9 is the passenger airbag deactivation switch
