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.

Single air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner 5A39
Dual air bags5A38

* Follow the procedures in numerical order when repairing malfunctioning parts. Confirm whether malfunction is eliminated
using the air bag warning lamp or CONSULT-II each time repair is finished. If malfunction is still observed, proceed to the
next step. When malfunction is eliminated, further repair work is not required.

warning lamp Ð Diagnosis mode
NOTE:
SRS will not enter Diagnosis mode if no malfunction is
detected in User mode.
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 twice (Perform 3 times in total).
5. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.
6. ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operates in Diagnosis mode as fol-
lows:
NOTE:
If SRS does not enter Diagnosis mode even though malfunction
is detected in User mode, check the battery voltage.
If the battery voltage is less than 9V, charge the battery. Then
go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 5, page RS-3029.
If the battery voltage is OK, replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
