Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1) Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2) Place vehicle on flat surface.
3) See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up
to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the driver (or
equivalent weight placed in driver's position).

Precautions
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)“AIR BAG”AND“SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER”
NLRS0006The Supplemental Restraint System such as“AIR BAG”and“SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”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 composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL V10 is as follows (The composition var-
ies 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).
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.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
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 SRS“AIR BAG”AND“SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”SERVICENLRS0007+Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
+Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch“OFF”, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
+Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks“⇐”pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
+The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
+Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module (built-in type) standing with stud bolt side setting
bottom.
+Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
+After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
WIRING DIAGRAMS AND TROUBLE DIAGNOSISNLRS0008When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
+GI-11,“HOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMS”
+EL-10,“POWER SUPPLY ROUTING”for power distribution circuit
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

+Replace front passenger air bag module if it has been
dropped or sustained an impact.
+Do not expose the front passenger air bag module to tem-
peratures exceeding 90°C (194°F).
+Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with
the front passenger air bag module.
+After front passenger air bag inflates, the front instrument
panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

INSTALLATIONNLRS0019CAUTION:
+Always work from the side of or under front passenger air
bag module.
1. Install front passenger air bag module on the steering member
and secure with new special bolts.
+Ensure harness is not caught between rear of front passenger
air bag module and steering member.

2. Put the front passenger air bag module connector and air bag
harness connector through the opening of the glove box cover.
3. Install glove box cover.
4. Attach the front passenger air bag module connector to the
connector cover lid.
5. Install glove box assembly. (Glove box is open.)
Refer to BT-22,“INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY”for
details.

6. Connect front passenger air bag module connector to air bag
harness connector.
7. Close the connector cover lid.
8. Close glove box.
9. Connect both battery cable.

Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNLST00141. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Then quickly turn steer-
ing wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stop-
pers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2. above.
+Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a) Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b) Clicking noise in oil pump
c) Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common
when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the steering wheel
slowly. This does not affect the performance or durability of the
system.

Checking Steering Wheel Turning ForceNLST00151. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 60 to
80°C (140 to 176°F).]
Tires need to be inflated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360°from the neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
26 - 32 N (2.7 - 3.3 kg, 5.8 - 7.2 lb)
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check
rack sliding force.
a. Disconnect steering column lower joint and knuckle arms from
the gear.
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has
reached normal operating temperature.
c. Pull tie-rod slowly to move it from neutral position to±11.5 mm
(±0.453 in) at speed of 3.5 mm (0.138 in)/s. Check that rack
sliding force is within specification.
Average rack sliding force:
197 - 255 N (20.1 - 26.0 kg, 44.3 - 57.3 lb)
6. If rack sliding force is not within specification, replace steering
gear assembly.
7. If rack sliding force is OK, inspect steering column. Refer to
ST-13.
