SEAT BELT WITH ELR INSPECTION
Seat Belt with ELR
ELR is a system which locks retractor in emergency cases such as sudden braking so that the webbing is
not pulled out any further.
There are 2 inspections: static and dynamic. Use the following procedures to check retractor for normal
operation.
ELR Static Inspection
Make sure that retractor locks and webbing stops immediately when quickly pulling webbing forward.
ELR Dynamic Inspection
WARNING:
The following tests should be performed in a safe, open place free of traffic and obstacles.
The tests should be performed on a dry paved road. Do not attempt the tests on wet or unpaved
road, open road, or highway. (This may cause an accident or personal injury.)
Driver and passenger assume retractor will not lock and prepare themselves accordingly.
1. Tighten driver and passenger seat belts.
2. Drive at approx. 16 km/h.
3. Notify passenger of a sudden stop. Driver and passenger prepare themselves for the possibility of retrac-
tor not locking. Then, driver fully depresses the brake pedal to stop suddenly.
4. While car stops, confirm if retractor is locked and webbing is not pulled out any more. Check for only
retractor part if it is not locked.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BKS001M8
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
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/INFINITI 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 SRS 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 harnesses or
harness connectors.

CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, never touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts 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.
Sulphation
A 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 voltage
and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less cur-
rent 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.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. 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 gravity
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 gravity
of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20°C (68°F)
is 1.196.

CHARGING SYSTEMPFP:23100
System DescriptionBKS001MJ
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times:
through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the fuse and fusible link block)
to alternator terminal 4 (“S” terminal).
“B” terminal supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage is
controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (“S” terminal) detecting the input voltage.
The charging circuit is protected by the 120A fusible link (letter A, located in the fusible link holder).
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 8 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied:
to combination meter terminal 22
through alternator terminal 3 (“L” terminal)
to alternator terminal “E”
through ground E2.
The charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine
running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate charge warning lamp, if any of the following symp-
toms occur while alternator is operating:
Excessive voltage is produced.
No voltage is produced.

Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceBHS0003V
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, and disconnect both battery cables. Then 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 “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformations or rust before
installation and replace if required.
The spiral cable must be set to the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn
steering wheel or column, if steering gear was disconnected from the column shaft.
Handle air bag module carefully. Always put a driver air bag module with the pad side facing upward.
Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
After an air bag is deployed, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
