Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NJEC0601The 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 NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+For 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), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (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:
+To 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper 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.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harness can be identified by yellow harness connector.

Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0628
SAT652J
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.
+If the MI does not light up, refer to EL-107, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-701.
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.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine, water may have accumulated in fuel filter.
Drain water from fuel filter. Refer to ªWATER DRAININGº, EC-520.
On Board Diagnostic System FunctionNJEC0628S01The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.
Diagnostic Test

Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Bulb CheckNJEC0628S03In this mode, the MI on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to EL-107,
ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-701.
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Malfunction WarningNJEC0628S04
MI Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
Diagnostic Test Mode II Ð Self-diagnostic ResultsNJEC0628S05In this mode, DTC is indicated by the number of blinks of the MI as shown below.
SEF298QA
SEF162PB
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the two LH digits of number and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
two RH digits of number. For example, the MI blinks 10 times for 6 seconds (0.6 sec x 10 times) and then it
blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ª1003º.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC ª0505º refers to no
malfunction. (See TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEX, EC-492.)
How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results)NJEC0628S06The DTC can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test mode is changed from
Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ªHow to Switch Diagnostic Test Modesº, EC-524.)
+If the battery terminal is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory within 24
hours.
+Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.

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 (EURO-
OBD) System of A/T and Engine Ð Euro-OBD
Ð
NJAT0245The 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:
+Be 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.
+Be 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.)
+Be 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.
+Be 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.
+Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
SEF289H
PrecautionsNJAT0246+Before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the
TCM. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned off.

IntroductionNJAT0251The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (EURO-OBD) performed by the TCM in combi-
nation with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI (malfunction indicator) and is stored as a DTC in
the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the O/D OFF indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with EURO-OBD self-diagnostic items. For
detail, refer to AT-53.
EURO-OBD Function for A/T SystemNJAT0252The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (EURO-OBD) functions for the A/T system. One
function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with EURO-OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The sig-
nal is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding EURO-OBD-related part. The other
function is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MI (malfunction indicator) on the instrument panel.
Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of EURO-OBDNJAT0253ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGICNJAT0253S01If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MI will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored
in the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGICNJAT0253S02When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MI will not illuminate. Ð First Trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MI will illuminate. Ð Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MI illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.

One trip detection Two trip detection
Shift solenoid valve A Ð DTC: P0750 X
Shift solenoid valve B Ð DTC: P0755 X

Except aboveX
The ªtripº in the ªOne or Two Trip Detection Logicº means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
EURO-OBD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)NJAT0254HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTCNJAT0254S01DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
(
with CONSULT-II orGST)CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710, P0720,
P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
+Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction.
However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still
occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is rec-
ommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC is shown in the following page. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunc-
tion is displayed in SELF DIAGNOSIS mode for ªENGINEº with CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many
times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
