Precautions for SRS ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONERº Service
+Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
+Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ªOFFº, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have passed.
+Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks ªSº pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
+The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt
to turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
+Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and front side air bag modules (built-in type) with the stud bolt side facing down.
+Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
+After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
RS-1003

Description
The air bag deploys if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the ªONº or ªSTARTº
position.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS
systems. For example, the driver air bag module and passenger air bag module are activated in a frontal
collision but not in a side collision.
SRS configurations which are activated for some collision modes are as follows;
SRS configuration Frontal collision Left side collision Right side collision

Maintenance Items
CAUTION:
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuit.
1. Check operation of ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELTº warning
lamps (ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp can be used for check-
ing seat belt pre-tensioner on models except for Europe.).
After turning ignition key to ªONº position, both warning
lamps illuminate. The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp will go off
after about 7 seconds if no malfunction is detected. The
ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp will also go off after about 7
seconds after seat belt has been fastened and no malfunc-
tion is detected. (When seat belt has not been fastened, the
warning lamp continues to illuminate until seat belt is fas-
tened.)
If any of the following warning lamp conditions occur, imme-
diately check the air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner system.
Refer to RS-1032 for details.
+The ªAIR BAGº or ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp does not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned ªONº.
+The ªAIR BAGº or ªSEAT BELTº (with seat belt fastened)
warning lamp does not go off about 7 seconds after the igni-
tion switch is turned ªONº.
+The ªAIR BAGº or ªSEAT BELTº (with seat belt fastened)
warning lamp blinks after about 7 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned ªONº.
2. Visually check SRS components
(1) Diagnosis sensor unit
+Check diagnosis sensor unit and bracket for dents, cracks or
deformities.
+Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
(2) Air bag module and steering wheel
+Remove air bag module from steering wheel, instrument
panel or seat back. Check harness cover and connectors for
damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Install driver air bag module to steering wheel to check fit or
alignment with the wheel.
+Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
+Install passenger air bag module to instrument panel to
check fit or alignment with the instrument panel.
+Install side air bag module to seat back to check fit and
alignment with the seat.
(3) Spiral cable
+Check spiral cable for dents, cracks, or deformities.
+Check connectors and protective tape for damage.
+Check steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
(4) Main harness and body harness
+Check connectors for poor connections, damage, and termi-
nals for deformities.
+Check harnesses for binding, chafing or cut.
(5) Seat belt pre-tensioner
+Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals
for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
+Check retractor for smooth operation.

Trouble Diagnoses Introduction
CAUTION:
+Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS harness connectors unless instructed to in
this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness protector or yel-
low insulation tape before the harness connectors.
+Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
+Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using ªAIR BAGº warning lamp, ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp
(Models except for Europe) and/or CONSULT-II. The reading of these results is accomplished using one of
two modes Ð ªUser modeº and ªDiagnosis modeº.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system
malfunction through the operation of the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and/or ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp (Mod-
els except for Europe).
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp, ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp (Models except for
Europe) and CONSULT-II are as follows:
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type
ªAIR BAGº warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation
ªSEAT BELTº warning lamp
(Models except for Europe)X Ð ON-OFF operation
CONSULT-II Ð X Monitoring
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-II
+ªSELF-DIAG [CURRENT]º
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is
displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring repairs.
+ªSELF-DIAG [PAST]º
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored
results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
+ªTROUBLE DIAG RECORDº
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen.
+ªECU DISCRIMINATED NO.º
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification num-
ber. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-II 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 classification number on the CONSULT-II screen. The
diagnosis sensor unit classification number varies depending on SRS configuration.
For NISSAN MODEL Y61, the diagnosis sensor unit classification numbers are as follows.
MODEL ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.
WagonModel with dual air bags and side air bag 5A0F
Model with dual air bags 5A11
Model with single air bag 5A13
HardtopModel with side air bag 5A15
