Trouble Diagnoses Introduction
CAUTION:
lDo not use a circuit tester to check SRS harness connectors unless instructed to in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified with yellow harness protector or yellow insula-
tion tape before the harness connectors.
lDo not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
lKeep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp and/or CONSULT. The
reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes Ð ``User mode'' and ``Diagnosis mode''.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system
malfunction through the operation of the ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp and CONSULT are as follows:
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type
``AIR BAG'' warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation
CONSULT Ð X Monitoring
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT
l``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]''
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is
displayed on the CONSULT screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring repairs.
l``SELF-DIAG [PAST]''
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the
Diagnosis mode) are displayed on the CONSULT screen. The stored results are not erased until memory
erasing is executed.
l``TROUBLE DIAG RECORD''
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT screen.
lECU DISCRIMINATED NO.
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned
with its own, individual classification number. This number
will be displayed on the CONSULT screen, as shown at left.
When replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part
number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement
with a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classi-
fication number on the CONSULT screen.
For NISSAN D22 4WD models, the diagnosis sensor unit
classification number assigned is 74.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
With CONSULT
l``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]''
A current Self-diagnosis result is displayed on the CONSULT screen in real time. After the malfunction
is repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on ``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]''.
l``SELF-DIAG [PAST]''
Return to the ``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]'' CONSULT screen by
pushing ``BACK'' key of CONSULT and select ``SELF-DIAG
[CURRENT]'' in ``SELECT DIAG MODE''. Touch ``ERASE'' in
``SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]'' mode.
NOTE:
If the memory of the malfunction in ``SELF-DIAG [PAST]'' is
not erased, the User mode shows the system malfunction by
the operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is
repaired completely.
l``TROUBLE DIAG RECORD''
The memory of TROUBLE DIAG RECORD cannot be erased.
Without CONSULT
After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition ``OFF'' for at least one second, then back ``ON''. Diagno-
sis mode returns to the User mode. At that time, the problem code is cleared.
How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms
or conditions for a customer complaint.
