PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005148716
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.
Precaution for On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of A/T and EngineINFOID:0000000005148717
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system . It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect the negative battery cable before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sen sors, solenoid valves, etc. Will
cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. May cause the MIL to li ght up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000005148718
NOTE:
If any malfunctions occur in th e RE5R05A model transmission, repl ace the entire transmission assem-
bly.
• Before connecting or disconn ecting the TCM harness connec-
tor, turn ignition switch “O FF” and disconnect negative bat-
tery cable. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

Always perform the procedure on TM-30, "OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)" to complete the
repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to TM-30
.
• Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For descrip tion and how to disconnect, refer to PG-64

3.CHECK SHIFT-UP D2 → D3
Press down the accelerator pedal about half way and inspect if the vehicle shifts up (D2 → D3) at the appropri-
ate speed.
• Refer to TM-265, "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs".
With CONSULT-III
Read the gear position, throttle degree of opening, and vehicle speed.
Does the A/T shift-up D2
→ D3 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 4.
4.CHECK SHIFT-UP D3 → D4
Press down the accelerator pedal about half way and inspect if the vehicle shifts up (D3 → D4) at the appropri-
ate speed.
• Refer to TM-265, "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs".
With CONSULT-III
Read the gear position, throttle degree of opening, and vehicle speed.
Does the A/T shift-up D3
→ D4 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 5.
5.CHECK SHIFT-UP D4 → D5
Press down the accelerator pedal about half way and inspect if the vehicle shifts up (D4 → D5) at the appropri-
ate speed.
• Refer to TM-265, "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs".
With CONSULT-III
Read the gear position, throttle degree of opening, and vehicle speed.
Does the A/T shift-up D4
→ D5 at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 6.
6.CHECK LOCK-UP
When releasing accelerator pedal from D5, check lock-up from D5 to L/U.
• Refer to TM-265, "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs".
With CONSULT-III
Select “TCC SOLENOID 0.00A” with the “MAIN SIGNAL” mode for A/T.
Does it lock-up?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 7.
7.CHECK LOCK-UP HOLD
Does it maintain lock-up status?
YES >> GO TO 8.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 8.
8.CHECK LOCK-UP RELEASE
Check lock-up cancellation by depressing brake pedal lightly to decelerate. With CONSULT-III
Select “TCC SOLENOID 0.00A” with the “MAIN SIGNAL” mode for A/T.
Does lock-up cancel?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> Record the malfunction, GO TO 9.
9.CHECK SHIFT-DOWN D5 → D4
Decelerate by pressing lightly on the brake pedal.
