DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WHILE MOUNTED IN
VEHICLE
When disposing of a vehicle, deploy air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioners while they are mounted in
vehicle.
CAUTION:
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner, ensure vehicle is empty.
1. Disconnect both the vehicle battery cables and wait 3 minutes.
2. Disconnect air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
3. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] to air bag module.
For front passenger air bag module, attach deployment tool adapter (SST: J38381-65) to the tool connec-
tor. For side air bag module, attach deployment tool adapter [SST: KV99108300 (J38381-35)]. For driver
air bag module, side curtain air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, attach deployment tool adapter
(SST: J38381-80).
4. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal
and black clip to negative terminal.
5. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked “deployment tool
power”, should glow green, not red.
6. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on
the tool, marked “air bag connector voltage”, will illuminate and
the air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner will deploy.
CAUTION:
Activate only one air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner
at a time.
DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER
Deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner are very hot. Before disposing of air bag module and
seat belt pre-tensioner, wait at least 30 minutes, and 10 minutes, respectively. Seal them in a plastic bag
before disposal.
CAUTION:

Never apply water to a deployed air bag module or seat belt
pre-tensioner.

Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module or seat belt pre-tensioner.

No poisonous gas is produced upon air bag module
deployment. However, be careful not to inhale gas since it
irritates the throat and can cause choking.

Do not disassemble air bag module and seat belt pre-ten-
sioner.

Air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner cannot be
reused.

Wash your hands clean after finishing work.

COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
COLLISION DIAGNOSISPFP:00015
For Frontal CollisionAHS000I6
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the front side air bag and side curtain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules),
crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash
zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When only one front air bag module is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the following components:
–Diagnosis sensor unit
–Crash zone sensor
–Activated front air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
2. Check the other SRS components using the table below. (Refer to “SRS is NOT activated”.)
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Only one front air bag may inflate a crash, depending on the crash severity and whether the front occupants
are belted or unbelted. This does not indicate improper performance of the system. Perform self-diagnosis to
make sure the entire SRS operates properly.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
ADS000RH
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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.
PrecautionsADS000RI

Before connecting or disconnecting the AWD control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and discon-
nect negative battery cable. Because battery voltage is
applied to AWD control unit even if ignition switch is turned
“OFF”.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from AWD 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 AWD control unit pin terminal.

Before replacing AWD control unit, perform AWD control
unit input/output signal inspection and make sure whether
AWD control unit functions properly or not. Refer to TF-19,
"AWD Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Values" .

System DescriptionADS000RW
DESCRIPTION

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to rear-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:

When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distri-
bution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.

If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AWD system will be restored.

When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in diameter of the
tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving is required. (Continues
until engine is turned OFF.)

If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.

When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode the shift occa-
sionally changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.
