Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NBAT0001The 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 front 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.
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System of A/T and Engine
NBAT0002The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) 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 MIL to light up.
IBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
IBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
IBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system,
etc.
IBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
SEF289H
PrecautionsNBAT0003IBefore connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector, turn ignition switch ªOFFº and disconnect
negative battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage
the TCM. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even
if ignition switch is turned ªOFFº.

SEF291H
IWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
MEF040DA
IBefore replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions prop-
erly or not. (Refer to AT-92.)
SAT964I
IAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DUREº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is completed.
IBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transmission. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign mat-
ter.
IDisassembly should be done in a clean work area.
IUse lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the opera-
tion of the transmission.
IPlace disassembled parts in order for easier and proper
assembly.
IAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose,
non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
IGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the
transmission is disassembled.
IIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they
are indicated.
IThe valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme
care when parts are removed and serviced. Place disas-
sembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper
assembly. Care will also prevent springs and small parts from
becoming scattered or lost.
IProperly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along
bores in valve body under their own weight.

IBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all
parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and seals, or
hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not
use grease.
IExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings,
seals and gaskets when assembling.
IReplace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil
pan or clogging strainer. Refer to ªATF COOLER SERVICEº,
AT-9.
IAfter overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
IWhen the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is
drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF
cooling system.
Always follow the procedures when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to MA-21, ªChanging A/T Fluidº.
Service Notice or PrecautionsNBAT0004FAIL-SAFENBAT0004S01The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned ªONº following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about
8 seconds. (For ªTCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (No Tools)º, refer to AT-46.)
Fail-Safe may occur without electrical circuit damage if the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions (such
as excessive wheel spin followed by sudden braking). To recover normal shift pattern, turn the ignition key
ªOFFº for 5 seconds, then ªONº.
The blinking of the O/D OFF indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the ªWORK FLOWº (Refer to AT-57).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICENBAT0004S04The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
IExternal leaks in the hub weld area.
IConverter hub is scored or damaged.
IConverter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
ISteel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
IPump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
IVehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
IConverter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
IInternal failure of stator roller clutch.
IHeavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
ISteel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged Ð indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
IThe fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
AT-8
Page 14 of 2395

IThe threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
ITransmission failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
IVehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such
as taxi, delivery or police use.
ATF COOLER SERVICENBAT0004S02Replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer.
Replace radiator lower tank (which includes ATF cooler) with a new one and flush cooler line using cleaning
solvent and compressed air. Refer to LC-19, ªREMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONº.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSISNBAT0004S03IA/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the O/D OFF indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on
AT-38 for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
IThe self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM
memories.
Always perform the procedure ªHOW TO ERASE DTCº on AT-35 to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
IThe following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
þ PNP switch
þ A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
þ A/T TCC S/V function (lock-up)
*: For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-59, ªIntroductionº.
