< ECU DIAGNOSIS >
POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT
EPS system enters the fail-safe mode (that allows the steering
force to be controlled without impairing the drivability) if any of the
input/output values to/from EPS system (power steering control
unit) deviate from the standard range.
NOTE:
The system enters the fail-safe mode if the engine speed remains
at 1,500 rpm or more for over 10 seconds while the vehicle is
stopped. This is normal.
The fail-safe function is canceled when a vehicle speed signal of 2
km/h (1.2 MPH) or more is inputted or the ignition switch is turned
OFF→ON. EPS system restores the normal operation at that time.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000003893538
Hard steering when fully turning the steering wheel.
Light steering when driving at a high speed.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003893539
1.CHECK SYSTEM FOR POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND
Perform trouble diagnosis for power supply and ground. Refer to STC-6, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
2.CHECK SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL
Perform trouble diagnosis for vehicle speed signal. Refer to STC-11, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
3.CHECK SYSTEM FOR ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL
Perform trouble diagnosis for engine speed signal. Refer to STC-9, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
4.CHECK SYSTEM FOR POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE
Perform trouble diagnosis for power steering solenoid valve. Refer to STC-7, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Perform the symptom diagnosis for the steering system. Refer to ST-2, "NVH Troubleshooting
Chart".
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003971959
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. 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.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000003893541
NOTE:
Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure
below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
