PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NIS002B4
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.
Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNIS001WB
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectNIS001WC
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.

CHANGE SETTINGS FUNCTION
The settings for each function can be changed with the CONSULT-II.
Changing Settings Using CONSULT-II
The settings for the Intelligent Key system functions can be changed using CONSULT-II (WORK SUPPORT).
Refer to BL-81, "
WORK SUPPORT" .
NOTE:
Once a function setting is changed, it will remain effective even if the battery is disconnected.
INTELLIGENT KEY REGISTRATION
Intelligent Key-ID registration is performed using the CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:

After a new Intelligent Key-ID is registered, be sure to check the function.

When registering an additional Intelligent Key-ID, take any Intelligent Keys already registered and
Intelligent Keys for any other vehicles out of the vehicle before starting.
CONSULT-II can be used to check and delete Intelligent Key-IDs.
For future information, see Technical Bulletin.
STEERING LOCK UNIT REGISTRATION
Steering Lock Unit ID Registration
CAUTION:

The method for registering a steering lock unit ID depends on the status of the steering lock unit
and Intelligent Key unit (new or old unit).

After registration is completed, press ignition switch with an Intelligent Key in the vehicle so that it
can be turned, and confirm that it cannot be turned even when ignition switch is pressed without
an Intelligent Key in the vehicle.
For future information, see Technical Bulletin.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS001X9
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 UnitNIS001XA
