COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
For Frontal CollisionINFOID:0000000001327773
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the front side air bag and sidecurt ain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modulesand side curtain air bag modules),
crash zone sensor assembly, bracket andseat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents,cracks and deformation).
4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash
zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or “AIR BAG”warning lamp. Refer to SRS-23, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not acti vated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-23, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When only one front air bag modu le is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the following components:
- Diagnosis sensor unit
- Crash zone sensor
- Activated front air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
2. Check the other SRS components using the table below. (Refer to “SRS is NOT activated”.)
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-23, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Only one front air bag may inflate a crash, depending on t he crash severity and whether the front occupants
are belted or unbelted. This does not indicate improper performance of the system. Perform self-diagnosis to
make sure the entire SRS operates properly.

PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612930
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 w hether 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 inopera tive, 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 NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t 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.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327424
 Before connecting or disconnect ing the AWD control unit har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to
AWD control unit even if igni tion switch is turned “OFF”.
 When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from AWD control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on AWD control unit pin terminal.
