PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NHS00008
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 SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceNHS00009
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed in this Service Manual.
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, and disconnect both battery cables. Then wait 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 “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformations or rust before
installation and replace if required.
The spiral cable must be set to the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn
steering wheel or column, if steering gear was disconnected from the column shaft.
Handle air bag module carefully. Always put a driver air bag module with the pad side facing upward.
Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
After an air bag deploymented, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
Precautions for Battery ServiceNHS0000A
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.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionNHS000A0
Replace occupant classification system control unit and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.

Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load LimiterNHS0000E
The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed for
both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. It operates simul-
taneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal colli-
sion with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level
occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is
immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers are
securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat belt
web tension while maintaining force.
Front Side Air BagNHS0000F
Front side air bag is built-in type.
The front seatbacks with built-in type side air bag have the labels as
shown.
Side Curtain Air Bag/for CoupeNHS0000G
The side curtain air bags have the labels as shown.

Trouble Diagnosis IntroductionNHS0000H
CAUTION:
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Do not repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged, replace it with a
new one.
Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnostic results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-lll.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-IlI are as follows:
HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a malfunction. It is important to fully understand the symp-
toms or conditions for a customer complaint.

CONSULT-lll FunctionNHS0000M
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-LLL
“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current self-diagnostic results (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-lll screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring
repairs.
“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
Self-diagnostic results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-lll screen. The
stored results are not erased until memory erasing is performed.
“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnostic results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-lll screen.
“ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.”
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification num-
ber. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-lll screen, as shown. When replacing the diagnosis
sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a correct unit
can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-lll screen.
After repair, make sure the discriminated number of diagnosis sensor unit installed to vehicle are same.
Refer to SRS-51, "
ECU DISCRIMINATED NO." .
HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE WITH CONSULT-LII
From User Mode to Diagnosis Mode
After selecting “AIR BAG” on the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen, User mode automatically changes to Diagnosis
mode.
From Diagnosis Mode to User Mode
To return to User mode from Diagnosis mode, touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-lll until “SELECT SYSTEM”
appears, then diagnosis mode automatically changes to User mode.

Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current self-diagnostic result is displayed on the CONSULT-lll screen in real time.
After the malfunction is repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”.
“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
Return to the “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” CONSULT-lll screen by touching “BACK” key of CONSULT-lll and
select “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” in SELECT DIAG MODE. Touch “ERASE” in “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
mode.
NOTE:
If the memory of the malfunction in “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” is not erased, the User mode shows the system
malfunction by the operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is repaired completely.
“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
The memory of “TROUBLE DIAG RECORD” cannot be erased.
Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-lll)NHS0000N
The reading of these results is accomplished “User mode” and “Diagnosis mode”.
After a malfunction is repaired, turn ignition switch ON. Diagnosis mode returns to the User mode. At that
time, the self-diagnostic result is cleared.
HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE WITHOUT CONSULT-LLL
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
After a malfunction is repaired, turn the ignition switch OFF for at least one second, then back ON. Diagnosis
mode returns to the User mode. At that time, the self-diagnostic results are cleared.
