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

Fuel Filter
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0623A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for
bleeding air is on the upper side.
SEF375Y
AIR BLEEDINGNJEC06241. After the repair, bleed air from the piping by pumping the prim-
ing pump up and down until it becomes heavy.
2. To start the engine, rotate the starter for a maximum of 30
seconds. To start the engine more quickly, crank the engine
while pumping the priming pump (requires two workers).
3. If the engine does not start after rotating the starter for a maxi-
mum of 30 seconds, stop it once, and pump the priming pump
again until it becomes heavy.
4. Rotate the starter again until the engine starts running.
5. After the engine starts, let it idle for at least 1 minute to stabi-
lize the behavior.
+When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming
pump suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that
time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming
pump (the pumping of the priming pump does not become
heavy), disconnect the fuel supply hose between the fuel
filter and the injection pump. Then, perform the operation
described above, and make sure that fuel comes out. (Use
a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel. Do not let fuel get on
engine and other parts.) After that, connect the hose, then
bleed air again.
+Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after
performing air bleeding.
WATER DRAININGNJEC06251. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from
the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and
vacuum hose for brake booster (between the vacuum pump
and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape,
etc. to prevent foreign object from getting into the engine
during the operation.
b. Disconnect the water level warning sensor harness connector.
c. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the
fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector assembly from the dash
panel.
+It is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock
at the bottom of the water level warning sensor located under
the fuel filter.

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
ModeKEY and ENG.
StatusFunction Explanation of Function
Mode I Ignition switch in

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.
