should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
• The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
• The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e., torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)
• The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
• The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if t he seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
• Replace occupant classification system control uni t and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Refer to SE-51, "
Removal and Installation".
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005266527
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecti ng 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 NATS , an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism 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 al l control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005256398
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 severi ty 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 inoper ative, 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 unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied 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 Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 minutes before performing any service.

U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147083
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
line for real time applications. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicle is equipped with many electronic control unit, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected
with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) al lowing a high rate of information transmission with less
wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
If No CAN Communication Is Available With ECM

IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to
alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.

REAR SONAR SYSTEM
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Sonar system OFF switch indicatorlamp illuminates for three seconds and then turns off.
2. Immediately push sonar system OFF switch ten times within five
seconds.
3. The sonar buzzer will sound once and the sonar system OFF indicator will flash once.
REQUESTING NUMBER OF FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "entering diagnostic mode", push sonar system OFF
switch once within 30 seconds of entering diagnostic mode.
NOTE:
If the number of fault codes is not requested within 30 seconds
after entering diagnostic mode, the system will return to regular
operation mode.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Sonar system OFF indicator will flash once and sonar buzzer will sound once for each fault code detected.
4. There will be a four second pause.
5. The number of fault codes will repeat five times then pause. NOTE:
Self-diagnosis will exit unless "requesting faul t codes mode" occurs before five repeats ends.
REQUESTING FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "requesting number of fault codes" mode, push sonar
system OFF switch once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will sound the first digit of the fault code followed by a one second
pause.
4. Sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will sound the second digit of the fault code followed by a four sec-
ond pause.
5. Each fault code will repeat five times then pause.
6. Write down each fault code. Then, acknowledge the fault code by pushing the sonar system OFF switch once (the sonar buzzer may sound).
NOTE:
"Requesting fault codes mode" will exit unless the f ault code is acknowledged before it is repeated five
times. When all fault codes have been indicated, "clearing fault codes mode" will be entered. Refer to
