PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AHS000HB
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.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceAHS000HC

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, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
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, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.

The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steer-
ing wheel and column after removal of steering gear.

Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing
down.

Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.

After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisAHS000HE
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams" in GI section

PG-3, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

GI-11, "How to Follow Trouble Diagnoses" in GI section

GI-27, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" in GI section
Check for any service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.

CAUTION:
Do not tap or bump the steering wheel.
7. Remove the wiper washer switch and lighting switch from the spiral cable.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.

Also, with the steering linkage disconnected the cable may
snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited num-
ber of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclock-
wise about 2.5 turns from the right end position.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make
sure that no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-17, "

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.
