If you see a code 16 on your Nissan Altima's dashboard, it indicates an issue with the airbag system in your vehicle. This code typically appears when there is a problem with one of the crash sensors, which are responsible for detecting if your car has been in a collision. These sensors measure G-forces and trigger the airbags in the event of a sudden impact. If one of these sensors malfunctions, your airbags may not deploy when needed. I suggest visiting a dealership for a proper diagnosis and reprogramming of the airbag system, as it requires specialized scan tools that only dealerships have access to.
A problem with the crash zone sensor circuit is the reason for the Nissan airbag code 16 to appear.
