Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS003IE
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 Differential Case Assembly and Differential Lock Control Unit
Replacement
EDS003AG
lWhen replacing differential case assembly or differential lock control unit, check the DIFF LOCK indicator
pattern and adjustment of the position between differential case assembly and differential lock control unit
if necessary.
CHECK DIFF LOCK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Start engine. Run engine for at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn 4WD shift switch to “4LO” and confirm 4LO indicator lamp is turned on. Refer toTF-16, "
4WD SHIFT
SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMP".
3. Stop vehicle and turn differential lock mode switch to “ON”.
4. Drive vehicle at 7 km/h (4 MPH) or less.
NOTE:
Differential case assembly must be given a rotation from rear left wheel and rear right wheel.
5. Check if DIFF LOCK indicator lamp flashes to turn on.
6. Check if DIFF LOCK indicator lamp and 4LO indicator lamp are changed properly as follows.
lIf each indication and state is OK, rear final drive assembly and differential lock control unit is working cor-
rectly.
lIf each indication and state is NG, rear final drive assembly and differential lock control unit is not working
correctly. Refer toRFD-34, "
METHOD FOR ADJUSTMENT".
