PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
UKS0017I
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.
WA RN ING:

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 When Using CONSULT-IIUKS0017J
When connecting CONSULT-II to data link connector, connect them through CONSULT-II CONVERTER.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
CHECK POINTS FOR USING CONSULT-II
1. Has CONSULT-II been used without connecting CONSULT-II CONVERTER on this vehicle?
–If YES, GO TO 2.
–If NO, GO TO 5.
2. Is there any indication other than indications relating to CAN communication system in the self-diagnosis
results?
–If YES, GO TO 3.
–If NO, GO TO 4.
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, erase the self-diagnosis results.
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to LAN-5, "
CAN Communication Unit" .
Precautions For Trouble DiagnosisUKS0017K
CAN SYSTEM

Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to the measurement terminals.

Use the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0V or less.

Be sure to turn ignition switch off and disconnect negative battery terminal before checking the circuit.

8. Mark the “NG” or “UNKWN” item of the check sheet table with “v” from the result of CAN DIAG SUPPORT
MONITOR check sheet. Refer to LAN-23, "
CHECK SHEET" .
NOTE:
If “NG” is displayed on “CAN COMM” as “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MONITOR” for the diagnosed control
unit, replace the control unit. Refer to AV- 1 3 1 , "
CAN Communication Line Check" .
9. According to the check sheet results (example), start inspection. Refer to LAN-25, "

Display Control Unit Circuit CheckUKS0018P
1. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Check terminals and connector of display control unit for damage, bend and loose connection (control unit
side and harness side).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair terminal or connector.
2. CHECK HARNESS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect display control unit connector.
2. Check resistance between display control unit harness connec-
tor M95 terminals 25 (W) and 26 (R).
OK or NG
OK >> Replace display control unit.
NG >> Repair harness between display control unit and data
link connector.
BCM Circuit CheckUKS0018Q
1. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Check terminals and connector of BCM for damage, bend and loose connection (control module side and
harness side).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair terminal or connector.
2. CHECK HARNESS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect BCM connector.
2. Check resistance between BCM harness connector M18 termi-
nals 39 (W) and 40 (R).
OK or NG
OK >> Replace BCM. Refer to BCS-19, "Removal and Installa-
tion of BCM" .
NG >> Repair harness between BCM and data link connector.25 (W) - 26 (R) : Approx. 54 - 66Ω
