Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005260138
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 Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005260139
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 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 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 pow er 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.

• Before installing a new heated o
xygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using suit-
able tool.
• Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dr opped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a co ncrete floor; replace with a new one.
• Do not over-tighten the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the MIL coming on.
• If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.
• Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and th e bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, an d then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
• Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mount ing rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could resu lt in excessive noise and vibration.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005369868
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon t he position of the combination switch (lighting
and turn signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the 2nd posi-
tion, the BCM (body control module) receives input requesting the headlamps and park lamps to illuminate.
This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp LH high,
headlamp RH high and headlamp low relay coils. When energiz ed, these relays direct power to the respective
headlamps, which then illuminate.

System DiagramINFOID:0000000005369869
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146609
The headlamp system for Canada vehicles is equipped with a daytime light relay that activates the high beam
headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is operating. If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate once the
parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking brake is
applied.

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005369870
After starting the engine with the parking brake releas ed and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) in the OFF or 1ST position, the headlamp high beam automatically turns on at a reduced intensity.
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position or with autolamps ON, the
headlamps function the same as conventional light systems.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake swit ch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to activate the daytime light system. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/ R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the ground side of the LH high beam lamp. Power flows backward through the LH high beam
lamp to the IPDM E/R, through the high beam fuses, through the RH high beam lamp circuit to the RH high
beam lamp and on to ground. The high beam lamps are wired in series which causes them to illuminate at a
reduced intensity.
