PRECAUTION PFP:00011
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NKS003TT
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.
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 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.

UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT
Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.
Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.
Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.
NOTE:
The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
Dot matrix LCD is adopted to display “push engine starter”, “A/T position” and “ICC system* ”.
Odo/trip meter and dot matrix LCD segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
*: With ICC system

Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterNKS003U2
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
Odo/trip meter segment and dot matrix LCD segment operation can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated with “trip A” displayed, the mileage on “trip A” is reset to “0000.0”.
(The same way for “trip B”.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. While pressing the odo/trip meter switch (1), turn ignition switch
ON again.
4. Make sure that the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
5. Press the odo/trip meter switch (1) at least 3 times. (Within 7
seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.)
6. The unified meter control unit is turned to self-diagnosis mode.
Dot in all segments of dot matrix LCD (1) flashes alternately.
All the segments on the odo/trip meter (2) illuminates.
Water temperature gauge and fuel gauge return to zero, and at the same time, low-fuel warning indica-
tor turns ON.
NOTE:
Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit when self-diagnosis mode of combination
meter does not start. Replace combination meter if normal.
If any of the segments is not displayed, replace combination meter.
7. Each meter activates during pressing odo/trip meter switch.
(Then low-fuel warning lamp turns OFF.)
NOTE:
If any of the meter and gages is not activated, replace combina-
tion meter.
