Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NCEC0002The 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 col-
lision. 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:
ITo 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 performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
IDo 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 and CVT
NCEC0003The 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:
IBe 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.
IBe 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.)
ICertain 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.
IBe 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.
IBe 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 fuel injection system, etc.
IBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission Control Module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.

IThe time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driv-
ing habits, etc.
Zone A refers to the range where the time required, for the diagnosis under normal conditions*, is the
shortest. Zone B refers to the range where the diagnosis can still be performed if the diagnosis is not
completed within zone A.
*: Normal conditions refer to the following:
þ Sea level
þ Flat road
þ Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)
þ Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)], diagnosis may
also be performed.
Pattern 1:
IThe engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of þ10 to 35ÉC (14 to 95ÉF) (where the volt-
age between the ECM terminals 70 and 58 is 3.0 - 4.3V).
IThe engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70ÉC
(158ÉF) (where the voltage between the ECM terminals 70 and 58 is lower than 1.4V).
Pattern 2:
IWhen steady-state driving is performed again even after it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be conducted.
In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH), then release the accelerator pedal
and keep it released for more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h
(56 MPH) again.
*2: Checking the vehicle speed with CONSULT-II or GST is advised.
Suggested transmission gear position for CVT models
Set the selector lever in the ªDº position with ªSPORTS MODE SWº ªOFFº or without ªMANUAL MODEº.
Suggested upshift speeds for M/T models
Shown below are suggested vehicle speeds for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions relate to fuel
economy and vehicle performance. Actual upshift speeds will vary according to road conditions, the weather
and individual driving habits.

TEST VALUE AND TEST LIMIT (GST ONLY Ð NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSULT-II)NCEC0031S04The following is the information specified in Mode 6 of ISO 15031-5.
The test value is a parameter used to determine whether a system/circuit diagnostic test is ªOKº or ªNGº while
being monitored by the ECM during self-diagnosis. The test limit is a reference value which is specified as the
maximum or minimum value and is compared with the test value being monitored.
Items for which these data (test value and test limit) are displayed are the same as SRT code items (6 test
items).
These data (test value and test limit) are specified by Test ID (TID) and Component ID (CID) and can be dis-
played on the GST screen.

Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual
for NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
lWhen servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialisa-
tion and additional registration of other NATS ignition key
IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identifi-
cation. Therefore, be sure to obtain all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of four key IDs can be registered into NATS.
Precautions for Super Lock System
Locking the driver's door or front passenger's door with the key
or remote control will lock all doors and activate the Super Lock
System.
The Super Lock System is designed to prevent theft as it can
only be released when a front door is unlocked using a key or
remote control.
This means, none of the door locks can be operated from the
inside using the door lock knob when the Super Lock System is
activated.
General Precautions
lDo not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
flammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with
hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
lBefore jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other
tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with
safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting before
working on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
lWhen removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance
and drop them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent
parts, especially the brake tubes and master cylinder.
