PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006226148
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 whether 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 inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air ba g 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
 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.
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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wh eel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000006226149
NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the batte ry disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wil l remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot
h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006226150
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

BCM also receives the vehicle speed signal from ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication. BCM compares both signals to detect the vehicle speed.
Door SwitchINFOID:0000000006226160
Door switch detects door open/close condition and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Hood SwitchINFOID:0000000006226161
Hood switch detects that hood is open, and then transmits the signal to IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R transmits hood
switch signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Inside Key AntennaINFOID:0000000006226162
Inside key antenna detects whether Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle, and transmits the signal to BCM.
Three inside key antennas are installed in t he instrument center, console and luggage room.
Intelligent KeyINFOID:0000000006226163

Push-button Ignition Switch
INFOID:0000000006226165
Push-button ignition switch detects that push-button is pressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM. BCM
changes the power supply position with the operation of push-button ignition switch. BCM maintains the power
supply position status while push-button is not operated.
Remote Keyless Entry ReceiverINFOID:0000000006226166

Security indicator lamp blinks when power supply position is any position other than ON to warn that INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-N ATS [IVIS (NATS)] is on board.
Starter Control RelayINFOID:0000000006226170
Engine starting system functions by controlling both starter relay and starter control relay.
Both relays are integrated in IPDM E/R. Starter relay is controlled by BCM, and starter control relay is con-
trolled by IPDM E/R on request from BCM.
IPDM E/R transmits starter relay and starter control relay status signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Starter RelayINFOID:0000000006226171
Engine starting system functions by controlling both starter relay and starter control relay.
Both relays are integrated in IPDM E/R. Starter relay is controlled by BCM, and starter control relay is con-
trolled by IPDM E/R on request from BCM.
IPDM E/R transmits starter relay and starter control relay status signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Steering Lock RelayINFOID:0000000006226172
Steering lock relay is integrated in IPDM E/R, and supplies power source to steering lock unit.
When IPDM E/R receives the steering lock relay ON request signal from BCM, IPDM E/R turns ON steering
lock relay and then transmits the steering lock relay condition signal to BCM.
Steering Lock UnitINFOID:0000000006226173
Steering lock unit performs steering lock/unlock operation on request from BCM, and power source is supplied
from steering lock relay integrated in IPDM E/R.
When push-button ignition switch is pressed while the In telligent Key is inside the vehicle, BCM performs the
ID verification with steering lock unit. Steering lock unit releases the steering lock based on the result of the ID
verification.
Steering lock unit has 2 switches (steering lock status switch and steering unlock status switch) inside. BCM
judges the steering lock/unlock condition by comparing these switch signals and steering lock unit status sig-
nal transmitted from IPDM E/R via CAN communication.
Stop Lamp SwitchINFOID:0000000006226174
Stop lamp switch detects that brake pedal is depressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Transmission Range SwitchINFOID:0000000006226175
