SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001703869
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 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 SRS 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 Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000001703870
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, 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. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

• Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if any
malfunction, such as EPS warning lamp turns ON, occurs.
• Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.
• Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is
not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc).
• Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.
• Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or
altered ground clearance.
• Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
• Check if the battery voltage is proper
• Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control unit har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to
EPS control unit even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.
• Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit
input/output signal inspection and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-9, "
EPS
Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Value".

• If any malfunction occurs in the system, and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp on com-
bination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
• When EPS warning lamp is ON, enters a manual steering state. (Control turning force steering wheel
becomes heavy.)
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisINFOID:0000000001703876
BASIC CONCEPT
• To perform trouble diagnosis, it is a must to have an understanding about vehicle systems (control and
mechanism) thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before starting
the inspection.
First of all, reproduce the symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it
will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with cus-
tomer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
• It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in order
to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on inter-
view with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspection
on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by
poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake suspected
harness or connector by hand. When repairing without any symp-
tom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions has actually been
eliminated.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Be sure to check the procedures of the trouble diagnosis in advance. Refer to "How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis" .
• Always erase memory after completing trouble diagnosis. Refer to STC-11, "
CONSULT-III Function (EPS)" .
• Checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check connector terminals for disconnection,
looseness, bend, or collapse. Repair or replace applicable part if any non-standard condition is detected.
• Be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal if a circuit tester is used for the check.
• Always confirm the general precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precaution" .
INTERVIEW
• Complaints vary depending on the person. It is important to clarify
the customer's actual remarks.
• Ask the customer about what symptoms occur under what condi-
tions. Use the information to reproduce the symptom of confirm by
vehicle.
