Trouble Diagnoses Introduction=NJRS0043CAUTION:
+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.
+Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
+Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONNJRS0043S01The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and/or CONSULT-II. The read-
ing of these results is accomplished using one of two modes Ð ªUser modeº and ªDiagnosis modeº.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system
malfunction through the operation of the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as follows:
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type
ªAIR BAGº warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation
CONSULT-II Ð X Monitoring
NOTE:
Seat belt pre-tensioner malfunction is indicated by ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-IINJRS0043S02+ªSELF-DIAG [CURRENT]º
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring
repairs.
+ªSELF-DIAG [PAST]º
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored
results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
+ªTROUBLE DIAG RECORDº
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be displayed
on the CONSULT-II screen.
+ªECU DISCRIMINATED NO.º
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification num-
ber. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, as shown below. When replacing the diag-
nosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a cor-
rect unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-II screen.
For NISSAN MODEL N16, the diagnosis sensor unit classification numbers are as follows:
DESTINATION MODEL ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.

tensionerA917

tensionerA904

step 6.
5. If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operates as shown in No. 1 in chart
above, turn ignition switch ªOFFº to reset from Diagnosis mode
to User mode and to erase the memory of the malfunction.
Then go to step 6.
If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operates as shown in No. 2 or No.
3 in chart above, the malfunctioning part is not repaired
completely, or another malfunctioning part is detected. Go to
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6, page RS-60, and repair mal-
functioning part completely.
6. Turn ignition switch ªONº. ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operates in
User mode. Compare ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operation to
the chart below.
NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected, switch from Diagnosis mode to
user mode by turning the ignition switch as follows:
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) After ªAIR BAGº warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch ªOFFº within 1 second.
3) Wait more than 3 seconds.
4) Repeat steps 1 to 3 three times.
5) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
