Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS00CEB
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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.
lImproper 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.
lDo 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 WorkEIS00BAR
lWhen removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
lWhen removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the compo-
nent with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
lProtect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.
lReplace a deformed or damaged clip.
lIf a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.
lBe sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
lAfter re-installation is completed, be sure to check that each part works normally.
lFollow the steps below to clean components.
–Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the
fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
–Oily foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%), and wipe
the fouled area.
Then dip a cloth into fresh water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the detergent off. Then rub
with a soft and dry cloth.
lDo not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol, or gasoline.
lFor genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

PRECAUTIONS
If 4WD shift indicator lamp and 4LO indicator lamp do not indicate proper pattern, install new transfer con-
trol unit and retry the above check.
PrecautionsEDS0031B
lBefore connecting or disconnecting the transfer control unit harness connector, turn ignition
switch “OFF” and disconnect the battery cables. Battery voltage is applied to transfer control unit
even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
lWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin ter-
minals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are
not any bends or breaks on transfer control unit pin termi-
nals.
lBefore replacing transfer control unit, perform transfer con-
trol unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
whether transfer control unit functions properly or not.
Refer toTF-38, "
Transfer Control Unit Input/Output Signal
Reference Values".
Service NoticeEDS0031C
lAfter overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer fluid.
lCheck the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
lDuring removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
lDisassemblyshouldbedoneinacleanworkarea.
lBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lCheck for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matchmarks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
lAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
lCheck appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.
lIn principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.
lObserve the specified torque when assembling.
lClean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
lBe careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
lUse lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer.

DRAINING
1. Stop engine.
2. Remove the drain plug and gasket. Drain the fluid.
3. Install the drain plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to
the specified torque. Refer toTF-112, "
COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
FILLING
1. Remove the filler plug and gasket.
2. Fill the transfer with new fluid until the fluid level reaches the
specified limit near the filler plug hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill fluid. (Fill up for approx. 3 minutes.)
3. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check fluid level again.
4. Install the filler plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to
the specified torque. Refer toTF-112, "
COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
InspectionEDS0031I
FLUID LEAKAGE AND FLUID LEVEL
1. Make sure that fluid is not leaking from the transfer assembly or around it.
2. Check fluid level from the filler plug hole as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking fluid level.
3. Install the filler plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to
the specified torque. Refer toTF-112, "
COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
