Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NCEC0002
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº, used along with a seat
belt, help to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The
Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and
on the instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning
lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
In addition to the supplemental air bag modules for a frontal collision, the supplemental side air bag used
along with the seat belt helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a
side collision. The supplemental side air bag consists of air bag modules (located in the outer side of front
seats), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses (except ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº connector) can be
identified with yellow harness connector (and with yellow harness protector or yellow insulation
tape before the harness connectors).
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System of Engine
NCEC0003
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator (MI) to warn the driver
of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
lBe sure to turn the ignition switch ªOFFº and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MI to light up.
lBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector
will cause the MI to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water,
grease, dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
lCertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL section, ªDescriptionº, ªHARNESS CONNEC-
TORº.
lBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to the short circuit.
lBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber
tube may cause the MI to light up due to the malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection
system, etc.
lBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM
before returning the vehicle to the customer.

EC-9

DESCRIPTIONNCEC0032
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
IIf the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING LAMPSº) or see EC-QG-354.
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.
On Board Diagnostic System Function=NCEC0032S01The on board diagnostic system has the following four functions.
Diagnostic Test Mode I
1. BULB CHECK:
This function checks the MI bulb for damage (blown, open circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit and ECM test mode selector. (See the following page.)
2. MALFUNCTION WARNING:
This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is detected twice in two consecutive driving cycles
(two trip detection logic), the MI will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MI in the 1st trip.
IªMisfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)º
IFail-safe mode
Diagnostic Test Mode II
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS:
This function allows DTCs and 1st trip DTCs to be read.
4. HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 (FRONT) MONITOR:
This function allows the fuel mixture condition (lean or rich), monitored by heated oxygen sensor 1 (front),
to be read.
MI Flashing without DTC
NCEC0032S0101If the ECM is in Diagnostic Test Mode II, MI may flash when engine is running. In this case, check ECM test
mode selector following ªHOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODESº.
How to switch the diagnostic test (function) modes, and details of the above functions are described later.
