Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The 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 in a frontal
collision. The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL D22 is as follows (The composition
varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located
on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp,
wiring harness and spiral cable.
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 must 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. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connector.
PRECAUTION
RS-3002

Precautions for SRS ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONERº Service
+Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
+Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ªOFFº, disconnect battery ground cable 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 ª
Sº 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 passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward.
+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.

CAUTION:
+Before servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect battery ground cable and wait at
least 3 minutes.
+Do not use old bolts and nuts after removal; replace with new ones.
+Check diagnosis sensor unit for proper installation.
+Check diagnosis sensor unit to ensure it is free of deformities, dents, cracks or rust. If it shows
any visible signs of damage, replace it with a new one.
+Check diagnosis sensor unit brackets to ensure they are free of deformities and rust.
+After replacement of diagnosis sensor unit, check SRS function and perform self-diagnosis for
SRS. Refer to ªSelf-diagnosisº for details. (RS-3020)
+Do not attempt to disassemble diagnosis sensor unit.
+Replace diagnosis sensor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
REMOVAL OF DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT
1. Disconnect driver and passenger air bag module connectors.
Also, disconnect seat belt pre-tensioner connector (Models
for the Middle East).
2. Remove instrument panel. Refer to Service Manual (Pub.
No. SM9E-D22BE0E), ªINSTRUMENT PANELº in BT sec-
tion.
3. Remove air duct.
4. Disconnect diagnosis sensor unit connector.
5. Remove ground bolt and also remove special bolts using the
TAMPER RESISTANT TORX (Size T50), from diagnosis
sensor unit.
Then remove the diagnosis sensor unit.
NOTE:
+To install, reverse the removal procedure sequence.
+After replacement, perform self-diagnosis for SRS. Refer
to ªSelf-diagnosisº for details (RS-3020).
CAUTION:
+Do not use old hex bolts and ground bolt; replace with
new bolts and ground bolt.

Trouble Diagnoses Introduction
CAUTION:
+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 with 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 FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using ªAIR BAGº warning lamp, and/or CONSULT-II. The
reading 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-II
+ªSELF-DIAG [CURRENT]º
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the 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 dis-
played 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 at left. When replacing the
diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with
a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-II screen.
For NISSAN MODEL D22, the diagnosis sensor unit classification number assigned are as follows:
MODEL ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.
