PrecautionsNJGI0001Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
SGI646
PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NJGI0001S01The 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 passen-
ger for certain types of collision. The SRS system composition
which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The com-
position varies according to the destination and optional equip-
ment.):
+For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front pas-
senger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on
passenger side), front seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnoses
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, diagnoses 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 performed by an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal 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.
PRECAUTIONS FOR NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM)
NJGI0001S02NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without
the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS
registered.

15 Option description+This shows a description of the option abbreviation used on the page.
16 Switch+This shows that continuity exists between terminals 1 and 2 when the switch is in the A
position. Continuity exists between terminals 1 and 3 when the switch is in the B posi-
tion.
17 Assembly parts+Connector terminal in component shows that it is a harness incorporated assembly.
18 Cell code+This identifies each page of the wiring diagram by section, system and wiring diagram
page number.
19 Current flow arrow+Arrow indicates electric current flow, especially where the direction of standard flow (ver-
tically downward or horizontally from left to right) is difficult to follow.
+A double arrow ª
º shows that current can flow in either direction depending on cir-
cuit operation.

HARNESS INDICATIONNJGI0003S0202+Letter designations next to test meter probe indicate harness
(connector) wire color.
+Connector numbers in a single circle M33 indicate harness
connectors.
COMPONENT INDICATIONNJGI0003S0203+Connector numbers in a double circle F211 indicate compo-
nent connectors.
SGI860
SWITCH POSITIONSNJGI0003S0204Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the
ªnormalº condition.
A vehicle is in the ªnormalº condition when:
+ignition switch is ªOFFº,
+doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
+pedals are not depressed, and
+parking brake is released.
DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINESNJGI0003S0205In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
+A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a ªdetectable
line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)º. A ªdetectable line for
DTCº is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with
the on board diagnostic system.
+A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a ªnon-detect-
able line for DTCº. A ªnon-detectable line for DTCº is a circuit
in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board
diagnostic system.
