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 system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition var-
ies 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.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
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. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
+ 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.
Precautions for Brake System
+Use brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
+ To clean master cylinder parts, disc brake caliper parts or
wheel cylinder parts, use clean brake ¯uid.
+ Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
+ Use ¯are nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
+ Always torque brake lines when installing.
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk of
health hazard from powder caused by friction.

Service Notice
+When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
+Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to soil
or damage them.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
EC-4

DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐBULB CHECK
In this mode, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains
OFF, check the bulb. Refer to EL section (``WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME'') or see EC-188.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐMALFUNCTION WARNING
MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LAMPCondition
ONWhen the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning. (Refer to ``MIL Illumination'' of the
``DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX'', EC-1.)
OFF No malfunction.
+These Diagnostic Trouble Code Numbers are clari®ed in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS).
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IIÐSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, a diagnostic trouble code is indicated by the number of blinks of the MALFUNCTION INDICA-
TOR LAMP as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the number of ten digits, and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
number of single digits. For example, the malfunction indicator lamp blinks 4 times for 5 seconds (0.6 sec x
4 times) and then it blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ``43''
and refers to the malfunction of the accelerator position sensor circuit.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classi®ed by their diagnostic trouble code numbers. The DTC
``55'' refers to no malfunction. (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX, EC-1.)
HOW TO ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (Self-diagnostic results)
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test mode
is changed from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ``HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOS-
TIC TEST MODES'' on previous page.)
+If the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost from the backup
memory within 24 hours.
+Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
+If the MIL blinks or ``NATS MALFUNCTION'' is displayed on
``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' screen, perform self-diagnostic
results mode with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940). Refer to EL section.
+Con®rm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ``ERASE'' in ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' mode
with CONSULT.
+When replacing ECM, initialisation of NATS V2.0 system
and registration of all NATS V2.0 ignition key IDs must be
carried out with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940).
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT operation
manual, NATS V2.0.
