PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612877
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
 Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for SRS "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" Service
INFOID:0000000001327741
 Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS ci rcuits 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 remov ed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SR S 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, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
 The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering
wheel and 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.
 Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
 Disposal, recycling, and transportation of air bag m odules and seat belt pre-tensioners should be performed
in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327742
Replace occupant classification system control uni t and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Refer to Refer to Service Manual .

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
SRS ConfigurationINFOID:0000000001524154
The air bag deploys if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the ON or START posi-
tion.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS sys-
tems. For example, the driver air bag module and front passenger air bag module are activated in a frontal col-
lision but not in a side collision.
SRS configurations which are activated for some collision modes are as follows:

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-III screen. The stored
results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
 “TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previ ously erased by a reset operation can be displayed
on the CONSULT-III screen.
 “ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.”
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification number.
This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-III scr een, as shown. When replacing the diagnosis sensor
unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. Af ter installation, replacement with a correct unit can be
checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-III screen.
After repair, make sure the discriminated number of diagnosis sensor unit installed to vehicle are same.
Refer to SRS-44, "
Removal and Installation".
HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE WITH CONSULT-III
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-III until “SELECT SYSTEM”
appears, then diagnosis mode automat ically changes to User mode.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
 “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current self-diagnostic result is displayed on the CONSULT-III 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-III screen by touching “BACK” key of CONSULT-III 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 [P AST]” 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 DI AG RECORD” cannot be erased.
Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-III)INFOID:0000000001524166
