PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612925
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 On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of A/T and EngineINFOID:0000000001327123
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
 Be sure to turn the ignition sw itch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. Will cause the MIL to light up.
 Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
 Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. May cause the MIL to li ght up due to a short circuit.
 Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EVAP system or fuel injection system, etc.
 Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327124
 Before connecting or disco nnecting the A/T assembly har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
battery cable from the negative terminal. Because battery
voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is turned
OFF.

detail, refer to EC-117, "CONSULT-III Function (ENGINE)" (for VQ35DE) or EC-695, "CONSULT-III Function
(ENGINE)" (for VK45DE).
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freez e frame data of freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM me mory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no priority
for 1st trip freeze frame data and it is updated each time a different 1st trip DTC is detected. However, once
freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MIL on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no
longer stored. Remember, only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM. The ECM has the fol-
lowing priorities to update the data.
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTC) are cleared when the ECM mem-
ory is erased.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased by CONSULT- III, GST or ECM DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE as
described following.
 If the battery cable is disconnected, the diagnost ic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
 When you erase the DTC, using CONSULT-III or GS T is easier and quicker than switching the mode
selector on the ECM.
The following emission-related diagnostic information is cleared from the ECM memory when erasing DTC
related to OBD-II. For details, refer to EC-55, "
Emission-Related Diagnostic Information" (for VQ35DE) or EC-
633, "Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (for VK45DE).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
DTC Inspection Priority ChartINFOID:0000000001327148
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, per form inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If “DTC U1000” is displayed with other DTCs, fi rst perform the trouble diagnosis for “DTC U1000 CAN
COMMUNICATION”. Refer to AT- 9 4
.
Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000001327149
The TCM has an electrical fail-safe mode. This mode make s it possible to operate even if there is an error in a
main electronic control input/output signal circuit.
In fail-safe mode, even if the selector lever is “D” or “M” mode, the transmission is fixed in 2nd, 4th or 5th
(depending on the breakdown position), so the customer should feel “slipping” or “poor acceleration”.
Even when the electronic circuits are normal, under s pecial conditions (for example, when slamming on the
brake with the wheels spinning drastically and stopping the ti re rotation), the transmission can go into fail-safe
mode. If this happens, switch OFF the ignition switch for 10 seconds, then switch it ON again to return to the
normal shift pattern. Therefore, t he customer's vehicle has returned to normal, so handle according to the
“WORK FLOW” (Refer to AT- 4 2
).
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid, th is function controls the A/T to mark driving possible.
Vehicle Speed Sensor
Signals are input from two systems - from vehicle speed sensor A/T (revolution sensor) installed on the trans-
mission and from combination meter so normal driving is possible even if there is a malfunction in one of the
systems. And if vehicle speed sens or A/T (revolution sensor) has unus ual cases, 5th gear and manual mode
are prohibited.
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
If there is a malfunction in one of the systems, the accelerator opening angle is controlled by ECM according
to a pre-determined accelerator angle to make driving po ssible. And if there are malfunctions in tow systems,
the engine speed is fixed by ECM to a pre-determined engine speed to make driving possible.
Throttle Position Sensor
If there is a malfunction in one of the systems, the accelerator opening angle is controlled by ECM according
to a pre-determined accelerator angle to make driving po ssible. And if there are malfunctions in tow systems,
the accelerator opening angle is controlled by the idle signal sent from the ECM which is based on input indi-
cating either idle condition or off-idle condition (pre- determined accelerator opening) in order to make driving
possible.
PNP Switch
In the unlikely event that a malfunction signal enters t he TCM, the position indicator is switched OFF, the
starter relay is switched OFF (starter starting is di sabled), the back-up lamp relay switched OFF (back-up lamp
is OFF) and the position is fixed to the “D” position to make driving possible.
Starter Relay
The starter relay is switched OFF. (Starter starting is disabled.)
A/T Interlock
 If there is an A/T interlock judgment malfunction, t he A/T is fixed in 2nd gear to make driving possible.
NOTE:
When the vehicle is driven fixed in 2nd gear, a turbine revolution sensor malfunction is displayed,
but this is not a turbine r evolution sensor malfunction.
 When the coupling pattern below is detected, the fail- safe action corresponding to the pattern is performed.
