Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006369606
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 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 “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t 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 Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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

NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in u se during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage a nd continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accide nt. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or im proper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioners
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).
 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.

NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and th e belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Fail-
ure to do so could result in seri ous personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be re placed if either damage or improper operation was noted. Seat belt
pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat be lts were not in use during a frontal collision in
which the air bags were deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
 The seat belt is in use at the time of a collision (e xcept for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and buck-
les show no damage and continue to operate properly).
 The seat belt is damaged in an accident (i.e. to rn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
 The seat belt attaching point is damaged in an accident . Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage or
distortion and repair if necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
 Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
 The seat belt pre-tensioners must be replaced even if t he seat belts were not in use during the collision in

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp for proper operation as per the following:
a. Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate.
b. Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn OFF.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, perform self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III and air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRC-14, "
Description".
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, s eat belt anchor and buckle bolts are tightened firmly.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Check that guide
swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Check that height adjuster operates
properly and holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and c heck for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Check that webbing retu rns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If the
seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Dirt build-up in the
loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check that seat belt returns sm oothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
Inspect the front seat belt through-anchor
1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.
3. Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it tightly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt
stuck there.
4. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wir e can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbi ng contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.
NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no slack or wrinkling.
6. Remove the clip fixing the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.
6. Repeat steps above if necessary to check the other seat belts.
