PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612922
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.

Precaution for ICC System ServiceINFOID:0000000001328803
 Never look straight into the laser beam discharger when adjusting laser beam aiming.
 Turn the MAIN switch OFF in conditions similar to dr iving, such as free rollers or a chassis dynamometer.
 Do not use the ICC sensor removing from v ehicle, disassemble, or remodel the sensor.
 Erase DTC when replacing parts of ICC system, then c heck the operation of ICC system after adjusting laser
beam aiming if necessary.

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328807
CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000001328808
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication li ne for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and eac h control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

2. Adjust the height of the target board stand so that the point of the triangle aims the cent er of the ICC sensor.
ADJUSTING THE RIGHT-LEFT POSITION OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a scale [at least 350 mm (14 in) or longer] or stick as
shown in the figure.
2. Suspend a thread with weight on the tip of the thread to 310 mm (12.2 in) left side of the target board from the center of the target
board on top.
SETTING THE TARGET
1. Suspend a thread with weight on tip to splice the cent er of the front and rear bumpers. Then, mark the
center point on the ground as each weight points.
2. Link the front and rear bumpers center points ma rked on the ground, and mark a point 5 m (16.4 ft) ahead
of the sensor, on the extended line of the previous lin k line of the bumper center points. Then, adjust the
position of the target board so that the weight come on the top of the marked point [5 m (16.4 ft) ahead of
the sensor] and face to the vehicle.
3. Adjust the position of the target board so that the extended line that links the center of the rear window glass (the center of the
rear window defogger pattern) and the center of the windshield
(the setting part of the room mirror) align with the weight sus-
pended from the board.
4. Remove the thread suspended to the left side of board and sus- pend a thread with weight on tip on the center of the target
board. Then mark the point of weight on the ground.
