Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TEN-
SIONER”
EHS000BG
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.
WA RN ING:
lTo 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/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo 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.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceEHS000BH
lDo not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
lBefore servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch “OFF”, disconnect battery ground cable and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables is 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.
lDiagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “Ü” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.
lThe 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.
lHandle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module standing with stud bolt side setting bottom.
lConduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
lAfter air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)PFP:28556
SRS ConfigurationEHS000CH
The air bag deploys if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS sys-
tems. For example, the driver air bag module and front passenger air bag module are activated in a frontal col-
lision but not in a side collision.
SRS configurations which are activated for some collision modes are as follows;
Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load LimiterEHS000CI
The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed to
both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal
collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level
occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is
immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers are
securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat belt
web tension while maintaining force.
Front Side Air BagEHS000CJ
Front side air bag is built-in type.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
CONSULT-II FUNCTION
EHS000CP
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-II
l“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of 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.
l“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
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.
l“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen.
l“ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.”
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 below. When replacing the diag-
nosis 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.
HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE WITH CONSULT-II
From User Mode to Diagnosis Mode
After selecting “AIR BAG” on the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen, User mode automatically changes to Diagnosis
mode.
From Diagnosis Mode to User Mode
To return to User mode from Diagnosis mode, touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-II until “SELECT SYSTEM”
appears, Diagnosis mode automatically changes to User mode.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
l“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current Self-diagnosis result is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time.
After the malfunction is repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”.
