Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006237842
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.
Service NoticeINFOID:0000000006217352
 When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
 Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefull y during removing or installing. Be careful not to oil or
damage them.
 Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
 When applying sealing compound, be careful that t he sealing compound never protrudes from parts.
 When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), always take rust prevention
measures.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000006217353
 When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, al ways protect it with a shop cloth.
 When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, always wrap the component
with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
 Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.
 Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
 If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.
 Always tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
 After reinstallation is complete, always check that each part works normally.
 Follow the steps below to clean components.
- Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.

*: System voltage is the voltage between the climate controlled seat control unit power source and ground.
NOTE:
When the ignition status changes to OFF during the fail-safe mode, the control unit shall enter the OFF condition. If the ignit ion is turned
ON, the system shall return to the standby mode. If the system en ters in the fail-safe mode again after performing ignition cycle, start the
diagnosis. HEAT or COOL switch input out of the specified range
 During the standby mode, heating or cooling states, if the rotary switch
input is 6% or less of the vehicle battery voltage, it stops all output and
enters the system OFF condition
 When the switch input returns to a value within the specified range, the system recovers automatically
System voltage out of range  If the system voltage at the climate controlled seat control unit falls out-
side of the 8.5 to 16.5 V operating range, it stops all output after a 500ms
time period.
 When the system voltage returns to the normal operating range (10.5-
15.5V with a 500ms hysteresis), the system recovers automatically.
