PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS001W1
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.
PrecautionsEDS001V6
Before connecting or disconnecting the 4WD control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and discon-
nect battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is
applied to 4WD control unit even if ignition switch is turned
“OFF”.
When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from 4WD control unit, take care not to damage pin termi-
nals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are
no bends or breaks on 4WD control unit pin terminal.
Before replacing 4WD control unit, perform 4WD control
unit input/output signal inspection and make sure whether
4WD control unit functions properly or not. Refer to TF-28,
"4WD Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Values" .

PRECAUTIONS
Service NoticeEDS001V7
After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer oil.
Check the oil level or replace the oil only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern.
Fitting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause
longitudinal vibration.
Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
Gaskets, seals, O-rings and lock nuts should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.
Observe the specified torque when assembling.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisEDS001V8
When reading wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
GI-14, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams".
PG-2, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING".
When performing trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
GI-10, "How to Follow Trouble Diagnoses".
GI-23, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident".
