PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NHS0007V
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.
WAR NING :
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.
Precaution for Seat Belt ServiceNHS0007W
CAUTION:
Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, discon-
nect the both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat
belt pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation Check"
.
Do not use disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
Never oil tongue and buckle.
If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.
If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
WAR NING :
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioner
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide).
The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
The front seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the colli-
sion in which the air bags are deployed.

Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNHS0007X
System DescriptionNHS0007Y
Pre-crash seat belt system is adapted to front seat belts RH/LH.
When the pre-crash seat belt control unit judges the emergency braking operation, it gives the sense of
security by the motor built into the pre-crash seat belt retracting the shoulder belt and suppressing the
crew's posture change. Also, it eases the damage of the collision.

Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Operation condition
Pre-crash seat belt operates under the following conditions.
Operation prohibition condition
If operation condition is satisfied, pre-crash seat belt does not operate under the following conditions.
*1 :When pre-crash seat belt doesn't operate after it continuously operates 3 times or more, operation can be performed again by stop-
ping operation for approximately 7 minutes.
*
2 : Refer to SB-4, "FAIL-SAFE MODE" for details of fail-safe mode.
FAIL-SAFE MODE
When a malfunction occurs in the following system, the pre-crash seat belt function is controlled according to
the malfunctioning parts.
Also, seat belt warning lamp blinks with fastening driver seat belt when the following malfunction occurs.
Seat Belt Warning Lamp Illumination Pattern
NOTE:
The seat belt warning lamp illumination system shown above operates only when the air bag system does not
turn on the seat belt warning lamp. The air bag system turns on the seat belt warning lamp, depending on the
conditions of passenger being on and the passenger seat belt fastening.
ConditionWhen the brake pedal is depressed more than a certain extent
When operation prohibition condition is not satisfied
Condition
When seat belt is not fastened (Only the seat belt that is not fastened does not operate.)
When vehicle is moving backwards
When the vehicle speed is 15 km/h (9 MPH) or less
When pre-crash seat belt continuously operates 3 times or more *1
At fail-safe condition *2

CAN Communication System DescriptionNHS0007Z
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitNHS00080
Refer to LAN-34, "CAN Communication Unit" .
