5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blow-
ing compressed air into area of suspected leak, then repeat
check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for
additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows:
1) A/C switch ON.
2) Face mode
3) Recirculation position
4) Max cold temperature
5) Fan speed high
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps
4 through 6 above.
SHA839E
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after
stopping the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the
compressor. The pressure on the high pressure side will
gradually drop after refrigerant circulation stops and pres-
sure on the low pressure side will gradually rise, as shown
in the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when
pressure is high.
11. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery
equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component as neces-
sary.
12. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test
to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
13. Conduct A/C performance test to ensure system works
properly.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NJSC0001The 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 harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connector.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosesNJSC0002When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
+GI-12, ªHOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMSº
+EL-10, ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº for power distribution circuit
When you perform trouble diagnoses, refer to the following:
+GI-32, ªHOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSESº
+GI-21, ªHOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENTº

How to Handle BatteryNJSC0003CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
1) Use a 12-volt booster battery.
2) After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
3) Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.

METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGENJSC0003S01The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
+The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
+The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
+At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ªlow maintenanceº
and ªmaintenance-freeº.
MEL041F
+When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
MEL042F
+Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVELNJSC0003S02WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

+Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
+Add distilled water up to the MAX level.
SEL709E
SulphationNJSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been ªsulphatedº, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNJSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Example:
+When electrolyte temperature is 35ÉC (95ÉF) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20ÉC
(68ÉF) is 1.240.
+When electrolyte temperature is 0ÉC (32ÉF) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20ÉC
(68ÉF) is 1.196.
