Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
(Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help
to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The Supplemen-
tal Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the
instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wir-
ing harness and spiral cable.
WARNING:
ITo 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.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to do so
in this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation (either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness), for easy identification.
Precautions for Steering System
IBefore disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
IDisassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from
becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
IWhen disassembling parts, be sure to place them in order on a part rack so they can be reinstalled
in their proper positions.
IUse nylon cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might
interfere with their operation.
IBefore inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable
solvent.
IBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF* to hydraulic parts. Vaseline may be applied
to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
IReplace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during instal-
lation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.

PRECAUTIONS
ST-2

Checking Steering Wheel Play
1. With wheels in a straight-ahead position, check steering wheel
play.
Steering wheel play:
35 mm (1.38 in) or less
2. If it is not within specification, check steering gear assembly
when front suspension and axle, steering gear assembly and
steering column are mounted correctly.
Checking Neutral Position on Steering Wheel
CHECKING
1. Check that the steering wheel is in the neutral position when
driving straight ahead.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove the steering wheel and
reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position is between two serrated teeth, loosen
tie-rod lock nut and move tie-rod in the opposite direction by the
same amount on both left and right sides to compensate for
error in the neutral position.
Front Wheel Turning Angle
Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure turning
angle.
Turning angle of full turns:
Refer to section FA for SDS.
Checking and Adjusting Drive Belts
Refer to section MA for Drive Belt Inspection.
Checking Fluid Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir when the engine is cold. If the
fluid level is below the MIN line, and fluid up to the MAX line.
