PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS001XL
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.
WA RN ING:
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” ServiceEHS001XM
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
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.
The air bag diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the arrow mark “⇐” pointing toward the
front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check air bag diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or
rust before installation and replace as required.
The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing
down.
Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Do not reuse center pillar upper garnish if removed.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionEHS001XN
Replace control unit and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.

The driver air bag module is dual stage and located in the steering
wheel assembly. It operates with the SRS system in a frontal colli-
sion exceeding a specified level.
Front Passenger Air Bag ModuleEHS001VE
The front passenger air bag module is located behind the instrument
panel assembly (mounted to the steering member). It operates with
the SRS system in a frontal collision exceeding a specified level.
Refer to SRS-6, "
Occupant Classification System (OCS)" for more
information.

Front side air bag modules are built into the front seatback assem-
blies. Vehicles with side air bags are equipped with labels as shown.
Side Curtain Air BagEHS001UU
Side curtain air bag modules are located above the vehicle headlin-
ing and run from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Vehicles with
side curtain air bags are equipped with labels as shown.

CAUTION:
Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, discon-
nect both battery cables, then wait at least 3 minutes.
Do not attempt to repair or replace damaged direct-connect
SRS component connectors. If a driver air bag direct-con-
nect harness connector is damaged, the spiral cable must
be replaced.
Do not insert any foreign objects (screwdriver, etc.) into air
bag module or harness connectors.

4. Release the driver air bag module retaining clips RH/LH.
Insert suitable 4mm - 6mm blunt tool (A) through LH access
hole on back side of steering wheel (1) and contact retaining
clip.
CAUTION:
Do not use sharp edged objects such as screwdrivers to
release driver air bag module from steering wheel, SRS
components may be unintentionally damaged.
Press tool inward with sufficient force on retaining clip (1) to
release LH pawl of driver air bag module from steering wheel.
Repeat for RH pawl of driver air bag module from steering
wheel.

releasing lower pawl of driver air bag module from steering
wheel.
5. Disconnect driver air bag module connectors (1) and horn con-
nector (2).
For removal/installation of the direct-connect SRS connec-
tors, refer to SRS-8, "
