PRECAUTION PFP:00011
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AKS00CS7
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.

System DescriptionAKS005MH
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.

Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.

Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter*.
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.

Odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system display segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination Control
The unified meter control unit outputs the odo/trip meter and A/T
indicator lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When the
lighting switch is turned on, light on for the combination meter dial,
illumination control switch and external lighting are output. In addi-
tion, when the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control
switch on the left side of the combination meter can be used to
adjust the brightness of each light. The brightness can be adjusted
to sixteen different levels: From 0 (no lights) to 15 (maximum).
Pressing the illumination control switch will brighten or darken the
lights. When the ignition switch is in the START position, the combi-
nation meter dial lighting and illumination control switch lighting are
turned off.

Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterAKS005MO
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

Odo/trip meter segment, A/T indicator segment and ICC system display segment operation can be
checked in self-diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated with the trip meter A displayed, the mileage on the trip meter A will
indicate 0000.0, but the actual trip mileage will be retained. (Trip B operates the same way.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON while pressing trip transfer switch and trip reset switch at the same time.
4. After ignition switch is turned ON, release trip transfer switch and trip reset switch. (With 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON.)
5. All the segments on the odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system display illuminates, and simultaneously the low-fuel
warning lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter
control unit is turned to diagnosis mode.
NOTE:
If any of the segments is not displayed, replace combination
meter.
6. Push the trip reset switch. Each meter/gauge should indicate as shown in the figure while pushing trip reset switch. (At this time,
the low-fuel warning lamp goes off.)

UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMPPFP:27760
System DescriptionAKS005N8

For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for controlling the combination meter are inte-
grated in the A/C auto amp.

Unified meter and A/C amp. controls each operation for A/C auto amp. For information regarding A/C con-
trol, refer to AT C - 3 0 , "
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL" in ATC section.

Unified meter and A/C amp. inputs necessary information for combination meter from each unit by CAN
communication and so on.

And unified meter and A/C amp. outputs these signals using communication line (TX, RX) between unified
meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.

The signals required for the distance to empty (DTE) display are centralized in the unified meter and A/C
amp., converted into data, and sent to the display unit (without NAVI) display control unit (with NAVI) using
CAN communication.

Other input signals are also sent to the ECM, TCM, AWD control unit, BCM, display unit (without NAVI)
and display control unit (with NAVI) using CAN communication.

The unified meter and A/C amp. correspond a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnostic results, CAN diag-
nostic support monitor, data monitor).
