Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003802225
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 “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
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 “SRS AIRBAG”.
Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

HOW TO SELECT PISTON AND BEARING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003802296
*: For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between piston pin and connecting rod. (Only “0” grade is available.) The
information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.
The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

XENON HEADLAMP
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003773562
OUTLINE
The lamp light source is by the arch discharge by applying high voltage into the xenon gas-filled bulb instead
of the halogen bulb filament.
Sight becomes more natural and brighter because the amount of light are gained adequately and the color of
light is sunshine-like white.
The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
ILLUMINATION PRINCIPLE
1. Discharging starts in high voltage pulse between bulb elec-
trodes.
2. Xenon gas is activated by current between electrodes. Pale light
is emitted.
3. The luminous tube (bulb) temperature elevates. Evaporated
halide is activated by discharge. The color of light changes into
white.
NOTE:
Brightness and the color of light may change slightly immediately
after the headlamp turned ON until the xenon bulb becomes sta-
ble. This is not malfunction.
Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is not
malfunction.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Representative malfunction examples are; "Light does not turn ON", "Light blinks", and "Brightness is inade-
quate." The cause often be the xenon bulb. Such malfunctions, however, are occurred occasionally by HID
control unit malfunction or lamp case malfunction. Specify the malfunctioning part with diagnosis procedure.
WARNING:
Never touch the harness, HID control unit, the inside and metal part of lamp when turning the head-
lamp ON or operating the lighting switch.
Never work with wet hands.
CAUTION:
Never perform HID control unit circuit diagnosis with a circuit tester or an equivalent.
Temporarily install the headlamps on the vehicle. Connect the battery to the connector (vehicle side)
when checking ON/OFF status.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal before disconnecting the lamp socket connector or the har-
ness connector.
Check for fusing of the fusible link(s), open around connector, short, disconnection if the symptom
is caused by electric error.
NOTE:
Turn the switch OFF once before turning ON, if the ON/OFF is inoperative.
The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003773563
1.CHECK XENON BULB
Install the normal bulb to the applicable headlamp. Check that the lighting switch is turned ON.
Is the headlamp turned ON?
YES >> Replace the xenon bulb.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HID CONTROL UNIT
Install the normal HID control unit to the applicable headlamp. Check that the lighting switch is turned ON.
Is the headlamp turned ON?
