PRECAUTIONS PFP:00011
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NKS0005P
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 Battery ServiceNKS0005Q
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.

COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
COMBINATION METERSPFP:24814
System DescriptionNKS0005S
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 a
signals 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.
Odo/trip meter and A/T indicator segments can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
Refer to DI-44, "COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION" in “UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP”.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times
through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 24.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 23.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 14.
Ground is supplied
to combination meter terminals 10, 11 and 12
through body grounds M30 and M66.
SPEEDOMETER
VDC/TCS/ABS control unit [with VDC] or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) [without VDC] pro-
vides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line.
Unified meter and A/C amp. converts the vehicle speed signal to the 8-pulse signal, and outputs the vehi-
cle speed signal (8-pulse) to combination meter.
Combination meter indicates the vehicle speed according to vehicle speed signal (8-pulse).

SHIFT-UP INDICATOR
Shift-up indicator can be used when shifting up at a constant
engine speed from any gear while driving. It becomes a guide
for shift-up timing.
Shift-up indicator flashes approximately 500 rpm before reach-
ing the engine speed set. It illuminates when reaching the
engine speed set.
Shift-up engine speed can be set by the shift-up indicator setting
mode on trip computer. Refer to DI-29, "
Shift-up Indicator Setting
Mode" .
NOTE:
There may be a time lag between the shift-up indicator illumina-
tion and the tachometer indication.
If the battery cable is disconnected, the set engine speed becomes 7,000 rpm.

Self-Diagnosis Mode of Combination MeterNKS0005Z
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
Odo/trip meter segment and A/T indicator 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” will indicate “0000.0”,
but the actual trip mileage will be retained. (The “trip B” functions in the same way.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. While pressing the odo/trip meter switch, turn ignition switch ON again.
4. Make sure that the trip meter displays “0000.0”.
5. Press the odo/trip meter switch at least 3 times (within 7 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON).
6. All the segments on the odo/trip meter and A/T indicator illuminate, and simultaneously the low-fuel warn-
ing lamp indicator illuminates. At this time, the unified meter control unit is turned to diagnosis mode.
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. Press the odo/trip meter switch. Each meter/gauge should indi-
cate as shown in the figure while pressing odo/trip meter switch.
(At this time, the low-fuel warning lamp goes off).
NOTE:
If any of the meter/gauge is not activated, replace combination
meter.
