Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS003ID
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 Transfer Assembly and Transfer Control Unit ReplacementEDS0031A
lWhen replacing transfer assembly or transfer control unit, check the 4WD shift indicator pattern and
adjustment of the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit if necessary.
CHECK 4WD SHIFT INDICATOR PATTERN
1. Set 4WD shift switch to “2WD”, “4H”, “4LO”, “4H” and “2WD” in order. Stay at each switch position for at
least 2 seconds.
2. Confirm 4WD shift indicator lamp and 4LO indicator lamp are changed properly as follows.
lIf OK, the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit is correct.
lIf NG, the position is different between transfer assembly and transfer control unit.
Adjust the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit. Refer to pattern table below.
Transfer position adjustment pattern
NOTE:
Method of adjustment can be chosen voluntarily, according to location of 4WD shift switch.

4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON or flashes when there is a malfunction in 4WD system.
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately 1 sec-
ond after the engine starts if system is normal.
4WD Warning Lamp Indication
NOTE:
4WD warning lamp is turned on when the following one or more parts are malfunctioning.
lVehicle speed signal
[from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]
lCAN communication line
lAD converter
lEngine speed signal
l4WD shift switch
lWait detection switch
lActuator motor
lTransfer control device
lTransfer shut off relay
lTransfer shift relay
lPNP switch signal
ATP WARNING LAMP (A/T MODELS)
When A/T selector lever is in “P” position, vehicle may move because A/T parking mechanism does not oper-
ate when transfer is under neutral condition. ATP warning lamp is turned on to indicate this condition to the
driver.
Condition 4WD warning lamp
Lamp checkTurns ON when ignition switch is turned ON.
Turns OFF after engine start.

rear tiresSlow flashing: 1 time/2 seconds
(Continues to flash until ignition switch is turned OFF)

Component parts Function
Transfer control unit Controls transfer control device and switches 4HÛ4LO under 4WD condition and 2WDÛ4WD.
Transfer control device Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated so as to switch driving modes.
Actuator motor Controls shift rod by signals from transfer control unit.
Actuator position switch Detects actuator motor position.
Wait detection switch Detects that transfer is under 4WD condition.
4LO switch Detects that transfer is under 4LO condition.
AT P s w i t c h
(A/T models)Detects that transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift switch Able to select from 2WD, 4H or 4LO.
4WD warning lamp
lIlluminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of 4WD system.
lThere is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.
ATP warning lamp
(A/T models)Indicates that A/T parking mechanism does not operate when A/T selector lever is in “P” position
and transfer is under neutral condition.
4WD shift indicator lamp Displays driving condition selected by 4WD shift switch.
4LO indicator lamp Displays 4LO condition.
PNP switch
(M/T models)Detects that manual transmission is under neutral condition.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit)Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to Transfer control unit.
lVehicle speed signal
lStop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
