FOR SIDE COLLISION=NJRS0033S08To repair the SRS for a side collision, perform the following steps.
When the side air bag is activated in a side collision:
1) Replace the following component:
− All parts of front seatback (including front seatback frame) with side air bag module (on the side on which
side air bag is activated)
− Diagnosis sensor unit
− Side air bag (satellite) sensor (on the side on which side air bag is activated)
2) Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.
Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
3) Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to “SRS Operation Check”
for details (RS-49). Ensure entire SRS operation properly.
When SRS is not activated in the side collision:
1) Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.
Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
2) Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to “SRS Operation Check”
for details (RS-49). Ensure entire SRS operation properly.

PartSide air bag is acti-
vatedSRS is NOT activated
Front (LH or RH) side
air bag moduleREPLACE all parts of
front seatback with
deployed front side air
bag module.1. Check for visible signs of damage (dents, tears, deformation) of the seatback
on the collision side.
2. If damaged—REPLACE the damaged seat parts with new bolts and remove
the front side air bag module.
3. Check for visible signs of damaged (tesrs etc.) of the side air bag module.
4. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
5. If no damaged is found, reinstall the front side air bag module with new nuts.
6. If damaged—REPLACE the front side air bag module with new nuts. Air bag
must be deployed before disposing.
(LH or RH) side air
bag (satellite) sensorREPLACE the side air
bag (satellite) sensor
on the collision side
with new nuts coated
with bonding agent.
(Repair the center
pillar inner, etc. before
installing new one if
damaged.)1. Remove the satellite sensor on the collision side. Check harness connectors
for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binding.
2. Check for visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation) of the satellite
sensor.
3. Install the side air bag (satellite) sensor to check fit.
4. If no damage is found, reinstall the side air bag (satellite) sensor withnew
nuts.
5. If damaged—REPLACE the side air bag sensor with new nuts coated with
bonding agent.
Diagnosis sensor unit REPLACE the diag-
nosis sensor unit with
the new bolts.1. Check case and bracket for dents, cracks or deformities.
2. Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
3. If no damage is found, reinstall the diagnosis sensor unit with new special bolts
and ground bolt.
4. If damaged—REPLACE. Install the diagnosis sensor unit with new special
bolts and ground bolt.
Front seat belt pre-
tensioner assembly1. Check if the seat belt can be extended smoothly.
If the seat belt cannot be extended smoothly.
– Check for deformities of the center pillar inner.
– If the center pillar inner has no damage, REPLACE the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly.
2. Remove the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly on the collision side. Check harness cover and con-
nectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binding.
3. Check for visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation) of the front seat belt pre-tensioner
assembly.
4. If no damage is found, reinstall the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly.
5. If damaged—REPLACE the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly with newbolts coated with bonding
agent. The front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly must be deployed beforedisposing of it.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NJSC0001The 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 system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies 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).
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 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. For removalofSpiralCableandAir
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 and/or orange harness connec-
tor.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosesNJSC0002When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
GI-12, “HOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMS”
EL-12, “POWER SUPPLY ROUTING” for power distribution circuit
When you perform trouble diagnoses, refer to the following:
GI-33, “HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES”
GI-22, “HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT”

How to Handle BatteryNJSC0003CAUTION:
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables,
1) Use a 12-volt booster battery.
2) After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
3) Never add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.

METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGENJSC0003S01The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance”
and “maintenance-free”.
MEL041F
When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
MEL042F
Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVELNJSC0003S02WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.
Add distilled water up to the MAX level.

SulphationNJSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been “sulphated”, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNJSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F).
Example:
When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.240.
When electrolyte temperature is 0°C (32°F) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20°C
(68°F) is 1.196.
