REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER
• When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear coilsprings, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point out
toward the wheel and tire assembly.
• To connect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses, the lock ring must be fully seated in the fitt ing. Insert the hose (B) into the
lock ring (A) until the lock ring (A) is touching the hose (B) as
shown. Pull on the hose to check that it is securely inserted.
• Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition (unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine cool ant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in t heir designated positions) with the tires on level ground.
• Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-6, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005383225
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR 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 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 inopera tive, 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 unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000005148201
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final ti ghtening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the r ubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005149555
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to STR-14, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condi tion that the engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is depleted.
1.CHECK TERMINAL 2 POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Make sure that starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 connection is clean and tight.
3. Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 terminal 2
and ground.
Is there battery voltage present?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2.CHECK BATTERY CABLE (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Shift the transmission into park or neutral.
2. Check voltage between battery positive terminal and starter motor connector F27 terminal 2 while cranking the engine.
Is the voltage drop less than 0.2V?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor for high resistance.
3.CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
