Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001703904
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR 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 whether 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 inoperative, 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 incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for SRS "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" Service
INFOID:0000000001703905
• Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits 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 removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner 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.
• Do not reuse center pillar upper garnish if removed.

CAUTION:
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in
this Service Manual.
• Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace it
with a new one.
• Keep ground connections clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-III.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-III are as follows:
HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a malfunction. It is important to fully understand the symp-
toms or conditions for a customer complaint.

HOW TO CHANGE BETWEEN SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE AND USER 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, Diagnosis mode automatically changes to User mode.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
NOTE:
If the memory in “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” is not erased, User mode will continue to show the system mal-
function by the operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is repaired completely.
• “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current self-diagnosis 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.
• “TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
The memory of “TROUBLE DIAG RECORD” cannot be erased.
Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-III)INFOID:0000000001703920
The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes —“User mode” and “Diagnosis mode”.
HOW TO CHANGE BETWEEN USER MODE AND SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE WITHOUT CONSULT-
AIR BAG diagnostic mode Description
SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]A current Self-diagnosis result is displayed on the CONSULT-III screen in real time. This refers to a mal-
functioning part requiring replacement.
SELF-DIAG [PAST]Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-III screen. The
stored results will remain until the memory is erased.
TROUBLE DIAG RECORDWith TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-III screen.
ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.The air bag diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classifica-
tion number. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-III screen, as shown. When replacing the
air bag diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replace-
ment with a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-III
screen.
The air bag diagnosis sensor unit discriminated number assigned is F636.
PASSENGER AIR BAGThe STATUS (readiness) of the front passenger air bag module is displayed. The STATUS displayed
(ON/OFF) depends on the signals supplied to the occupant classification system control module and
air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to SRS-5, "
Occupant Classification System (OCS)" for more in-
formation.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
After a malfunction is repaired, turn the ignition switch OFF for at least one second, then back ON. Diagnosis
mode returns to the User mode. At that time, the self-diagnostic result is cleared.

NOTE:
Follow the procedures in numerical order when performing repairs. Confirm whether the repair has been suc-
cessful using air bag warning lamp or CONSULT-III after each repair. If malfunction is still observed, proceed
to the next step. When malfunction has been eliminated, further repair work is not required.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3
Final Check of SRS Using CONSULT-III—Diagnosis Mode
1. If no DTC is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”, repair of SRS is completed. Go to step 2.
If any DTC is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”, the malfunctioning part has not been repaired com-
pletely or another malfunctioning part is being detected. Go to "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2".
2. Touch “ERASE”.
NOTE:
Touch “ERASE” to clear the memory of the malfunction (“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”).
If the memory of the malfunction in “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” is not erased, the User mode shows the system
malfunction by the operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is repaired completely.
3. Touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-III to “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen. Touch “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”.
4. Check that no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”.
5. Touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-III until “SELECT SYSTEM” appears in order to return to User mode from
Diagnosis mode.
6. Turn ignition switch OFF then turn off and disconnect CONSULT-III.
7. Go to SRS-18, "
SRS Operation Check".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 4
Check SRS Repair History
1.CONSIDER POSSIBILITY THAT SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS NOT ERASED AFTER REPAIR
Check repair history of the SRS.
Have any previous repairs been made to the SRS?
Yes >> Self-diagnostic result “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” (previously stored in the memory) might not be erased
after repair. Go to "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3".
No >> Go to "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 5
Check SRS Intermittent Malfunction Using CONSULT-III—Diagnosis Mode
1. If diagnostic codes are displayed on “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”, go to step 4.
If no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”, touch “BACK” and go back to “SELECT DIAG
MODE”.
