DTC Inspection Priority ChartINFOID:0000000004807920
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
DTC IndexINFOID:0000000004807921
NOTE: Details of time display
• CRNT: Displays when there is a malfunction now or after returning to the normal condition until turning igni-
tion switch OFF → ON again.
• 1 - 39: Displayed if any previous ma lfunction is present when current conditi on is normal. It increases like 1
→ 2 → 3...38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition switch OFF → ON. The counter
remains at 39 even if the number of cycles exceeds it. It is counted from 1 again when turning ignition switch
OFF → ON after returning to the normal condi tion if the malfunction is detected again.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Preliminary CheckINFOID:0000000001754055
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the sonar sensor preliminary check is to confirm that there are no outside factors affecting the
sonar system.
CONDITIONS
• Ignition switch ON
• No obstructions within 3.0 m (10 ft.) of sonar sensors
SONAR SENSOR STATUS CHECK
• Check that the sonar sensors are properly aligned (no deformation in sensor mounting areas).
• Check that snow, mud or other foreign obj ects are not adhering to the sonar sensors.
• Check that there is no deformation, scratc hes or other damage to the sonar sensors.
• Check that water has not accu mulated in the sonar sensors.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensors.
1. Check that there are no obstacles wit hin each sonar sensor's detection range.
2. Check that there are no nearby ultrasound sources such as the sounds of vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines or truck air brakes.
3. Check that the vehicle is on a level surface.
Sonar sensors Detection range
Front Approx. 1.0 m (3 ft.) maximum
Rear Approx. 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) maximum

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000004894350
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 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 NISSAN/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 SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution for SRS "AIR BAG" and "S EAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" Service
INFOID:0000000001602214
• 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 terminals and wait at least 3 min- utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the terminals are remov ed, it is still possible for the air bags and seat belt
pre-tensioners 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.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionINFOID:0000000001602215

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking Fluid LevelINFOID:0000000001534691
Check power steering fluid level with engine off, referring to the scale
on reservoir tank.
Use HOT range for fluid temperatures of 50 ° – 80 °C (122 ° – 176 °F).
Use COLD range for fluid temperatures of 0 ° – 30 °C (32° – 86°F).
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.
• Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
Checking Fluid LeakageINFOID:0000000001534692
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connec tions, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 ° – 80° C (122° –
176° F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con- nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to ST-17, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Ser-
vice".
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a leak from the steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemINFOID:0000000001534693
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.
• Air bubbles in reservoir tank.
• Clicking noise in oil pump.
• Excessive buzzing in oil pump. NOTE:
When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from oil
pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times. CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the MIN level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully right and then fully left, hold for about three seconds.
Then check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 several times at about three second intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steeri ng wheel in the locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibil-
ity that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check for air bubbles or cloudy fluid.
