2006 NISSAN PATROL instrument panel

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER''
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ``AIR BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision.
The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition varies
according to the destination.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located
on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp,
wiring harness and spiral cable.
WARNING:
+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 in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

WARNING:
+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 in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-

PRECAUTION
RS-1

Precautions for SRS ``AIR BAG'' and ``Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner'' Service
+Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
+Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ``OFF'', disconnect both battery cables and wait for at least
3 minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
+Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks ``
S'' pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
+The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
+Handle air bag module carefully. Always place it with the pad side facing upward.
+Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
+Instrument panel assembly should be replaced after air bag in¯ates if damaged.

After turning ignition key to ``ON'' position, both warning lamps
illuminate. The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp will go off after about
7 seconds if no malfunction is detected.
If any of the following warning lamp conditions occur, immedi-
ately check the air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner system. Refer
to RS-30 for details.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp does not go off about 7 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp blinks about 7 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
2. Visually check SRS components.
(1) Diagnosis sensor unit
+Check diagnosis sensor unit and bracket for dents, cracks or
deformities.
+Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
(2) Air bag module and steering wheel
+Remove air bag module from steering wheel or instrument
panel. Check harness cover and connectors for damage, ter-
minals for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Install driver air bag module to steering wheel to check ®t or
alignment with the wheel.
+Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
+For dual air bag system, install passenger air bag module to
instrument panel to check ®t or alignment with the instrument
panel.
(3) Spiral cable
+Check spiral cable for dents, cracks, or deformities.
+Check connectors and protective tape for damage.
+Check steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
(4) Harness related to SRS
+Check connectors for poor connections, damage, and terminals
for deformities.
+Check harnesses for binding, cha®ng or cut.
(5) Seat belt pre-tensioner
+Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals for
deformities, and harness for binding.
+Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
+Check retractor for smooth operation.
