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.

3. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left about 2.5
revolutions from the right end position. Align the two marks
(
,
m).
CAUTION:
+The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if
the cable is installed in an improper position.
Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the lim-
ited number of turns.
The spiral cable can be turned up to about 2.5 turns from
the neutral position to both the right and left.
4. Connect spiral cable connector and tighten with screws.
Install steering column cover.
5. Install steering, wheel setting spiral cable pin guide, and pull
spiral cable through.
6. Connect horn connector and engage spiral cable with pawls
in steering wheel. Move air bag module connector away from
steering wheel lower lid opening.
7. Tighten nut.

8. Fix driver air bag module harness and harness connector to
clamp.
9. Connect air bag module connector and horn connector.
10. Position air bag module and tighten with new special bolts.
+Always service the air bag module from the side.
11. Install all lids.
12. Perform self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates prop-
erly. (Use CONSULT-II or warning lamp check.) Refer to
RS-3020.
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery
cables.
13. Turn steering wheel to the left end and then to the right end
fully to make sure that spiral cable is set in the neutral posi-
tion.

FOR FRONTAL COLLISION
To repair the SRS for a frontal collision, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the side air bag) is activated in a collision:
V1Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
V2Remove the air bag modules (except the side air bag module).
V3Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
+Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).
V4Install new air bag modules (except the side air bag module).
V5Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and ªAIR BAGº. Refer to ªSelf-diagnosisº for details (RS-
3020). Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
V1Check the SRS components using the table shown below:

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 system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL D22 is as follows (The com-
position 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.
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 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. 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.
