Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NBEL0001The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to INFINITI QX4 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag module (located in the outer side of front seat),
satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring harness,
warning lamp (one of components of 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 INFINITI dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisNBEL0002When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
IGI-11, ªHOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMSº
IEL-9, ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº for power distribution circuit
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
IGI-35, ªHOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSESº
IGI-24, ªHOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENTº
Check for any Service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.

Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0189WARNING:
IThe xenon headlamp has a high-tension current generating area. Be extremely careful when remov-
ing and installing. Be certain to disconnect the battery negative cable prior to removing or install-
ing.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, do not touch the harness (covered with red or amber insulation),
bulb itself or the bulb socket with your bare hands.
INever service a xenon headlamp with wet hands.
IWhen checking body side harness with a circuit tester, be certain to disconnect the harness con-
nector from the xenon headlamp.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, the xenon bulb must be installed in the headlamp housing. (Never
turn on xenon headlamp, if the bulb is out of the headlamp housing.)
CAUTION:
Make sure to install the bulb securely; if the xenon bulb is improperly installed in its socket, high-ten-
sion current leaks occur. This may lead to a melted bulb and/or bulb socket.

3. Headlamp LH relay circuit1. Check 15A fuse (No. 60, located in fusible link and
fuse box). Verify battery positive voltage is present
at terminals 1 and 3 of headlamp LH relay.
2. Check headlamp LH relay.
3. Check harness between headlamp LH relay and
headlamp battery saver control unit.
Headlamp RH (low and high beam)
does not operate, but headlamp LH
(low and high beam) does operate.1. 15A fuse
2. Headlamp RH relay
3. Headlamp RH relay circuit1. Check 15A fuse (No. 59, located in fusible link and
fuse box). Verify battery positive voltage is present
at terminals 1 and 3 of headlamp RH relay.
2. Check headlamp RH relay.
3. Check harness between headlamp RH relay and
headlamp battery saver control unit.

but LH low beam operates.1. Bulb
2. Headlamp LH relay
3. Open in the LH high beams cir-
cuit
4. Lighting switch
5. Lighting switch ground circuit1. Check bulb.
2. Check headlamp LH relay.
3. Check the following.
