B1054 on Nissan
Manufacturer-Specific Body Code (Driver Airbag / SRS Circuit Open or Short)
B1054 on Nissan vehicles indicates manufacturer-specific body code (driver airbag / srs circuit open or short). Au7o has documented this code across 2 Nissan models — most commonly on Rogue, Sentra. B1054 is a manufacturer-specific body code related to the supplemental restraint (airbag) system. On Nissan/Infiniti and several other makes it generally indicates an open or shorted circuit in the driver airbag module (or a related pretensioner/squib circuit), meaning the system cannot confirm a proper connection to that deployment device. This is a safety-critical fault — the affected airbag or pretensioner may not deploy in a crash, so it should be diagnosed promptly. The exact circuit varies by maker and should be confirmed against service data. Typical repair costs on Nissan range from $300 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of B1054
- •Faulty driver airbag module / clockspring (spiral cable)
- •Open or shorted wiring in the airbag circuit
- •Corroded or loose airbag connector under the seat or column
- •Damaged clockspring from steering wheel wear
- •Water damage to SRS wiring/connectors
- •SRS/airbag control module fault
B1054 on Nissan by Model
Nissan Rogue(1 issue)
- Clock Spring / Spiral Cable Failure Causing Airbag Light and Loss of Steering Wheel Controls2008-2013
A known failure point on many Nissan models of this era is the steering wheel spiral cable (clock spring), which can break internally from repeated wheel rotation. On Rogue, owners report the airbag warning light illuminating along with loss of horn, cruise control, or audio controls on the steering wheel. Because it affects the driver airbag circuit, the issue has clear safety implications even if the vehicle remains drivable.
Nissan Sentra(1 issue)
- Steering Wheel Clock Spring Failure Causing Airbag Warning and Inoperative Steering Controls2023-2025
Some owners report airbag warning lights, loss of steering-wheel audio/cruise buttons, and intermittent horn operation traced to the spiral cable/clock spring assembly. When the clock spring develops an internal open circuit, it can interrupt communication and power to steering-wheel-mounted systems and potentially affect the driver's airbag circuit. While not every case results in an airbag fault, the safety implications make it significant.
