TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
NOTE:
Follow the procedures in numerical order when repairing malfunctioning parts. Confirm whether malfunction is
eliminated using air bag warning lamp or CONSULT-II each time repair is finished. If malfunction is still
observed, proceed to the next step. When malfunction is eliminated, further repair work is not required.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3
Final Check of SRS Using CONSULT-II—Diagnosis Mode
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunction might be detected
in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. After repairing SRS, connect both battery cables.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data
link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
5. Touch “AIR BAG”.
If "AIR BAG" is not indicated, refer to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II Data
Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .

Removal and InstallationEHS0016Z
The passenger air bag module originally installed in the vehicle uses direct-connect style harness connectors.
Service replacement passenger air bag modules use tab-locking style harness connectors. If the passenger
air bag module is replaced or if the direct-connect harness connectors are damaged, the vehicle wiring har-
ness must be modified to allow connection of the service replacement passenger air bag module. Refer to
SRS-52, "
WIRING HARNESS MODIFICATION" for wiring harness modification procedure.
REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged direct-connect front passenger air bag module con-
nectors. If a direct-connect harness connector is damaged, the front passenger air bag must be
replaced and the wiring harness modified.

Before servicing SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least
3 minutes.

Always work from the side of or under front passenger air bag module.
1. Remove the glove box. Refer to IP-10, "
INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove 2 nuts (through glove box opening) retaining front pas-
senger air bag module to instrument panel crossmember.
3. Disconnect the air bag module electrical connectors.

For removal/installation of the direct-connect SRS connec-
tors, refer to SRS-7, "
Direct-connect SRS Component Con-
nectors" .
4. Remove the instrument panel assembly from the vehicle. Refer
to IP-10, "
INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
5. Remove front passenger air bag module nuts and remove air
bag module from the instrument panel assembly.
CAUTION:

When servicing the SRS, do not work from directly in front
of air bag module.

Always place front passenger air bag module with caution
label side facing upward.

Do not insert any foreign objects (screwdriver, etc.) into air
bag module or harness connectors.

Do not disassemble air bag module.

Do not use old nuts after removal; replace with new nuts.

Do not expose the front passenger air bag module to tem-
peratures exceeding 90°C (194°F).

Replace the air bag module if it has been dropped or sus-
tained an impact.

Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with the
air bag module.

For removal/installation of the direct-connect SRS connec-
tors, refer to SRS-7, "
Direct-connect SRS Component Con-
nectors" .
