Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006226734
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.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000006226735
Turn ignition switch OFF an d disconnect the battery cable
from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnect-
ing the A/T assembly connector. Because battery voltage is
applied to TCM even if igniti on switch is turned OFF.
 Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE” after performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
 Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids
and Lubricants".
 Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
 Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordi-
nance, etc. after replacing the ATF.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. It is important to prevent the internal parts from
becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Co nverter Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226752
The torque converter clutch solenoid va lve is activated, with the gear in D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, M2, M3, M4,
M5, M6 and M7 by the TCM in response to signals tr ansmitted from the output speed sensor and accelerator
pedal position sensor. Torque converter clut ch piston operation will then be controlled.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Line Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226753
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pum p discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Accele rator Pedal Position SensorINFOID:0000000006226754
 The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor detects the accelerator position.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor transform the a ccelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit
the voltage signal to the ECM. Then, the TCM receives accelerator pedal position signal from the ECM via
CAN communication.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Manual Mode SwitchINFOID:0000000006226755
 The manual mode switch [mode select switch and position se lect switch (shift-up/shift-down)] is installed in
the A/T shift selector assembly.
 The mode select switch detects the position (the main shift gate side or manual shift gate side) of the selec-
tor lever and transmits a manual mode signal or a not manual mode signal to the combination meter. Then,
the TCM receives a manual mode signal or non-manual mode signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-up) detects that the se lector lever is shifted to the shift-up side of the manual
shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift up signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a
manual mode shift up signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-down) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-down side of the
manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift down signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM
receives a manual mode shift down signal from the combination meter.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exte
rior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
1. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.
3. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
 Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
 Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
 Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
 Never breath vapors or spray mist.
4. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis- sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until ATF flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
5. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the cooler inlet hose.
6. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
7. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet hose.
8. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (71 to 128 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose to force any remaining ATF into
the coffee filter.
9. Remove the coffee filter from the end of the cooler inlet hose.
10. Perform “INSPECTION PROCEDURE”.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1 mm (0.040 in) in size or metal powder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both 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.
Service Notice or Precautions for TPMSINFOID:0000000006225485
 Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1min, then turns ON when occurring any malfunction except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for low tire pressure warning control unit, or register the ID
to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF. For ID registration, refer to WT-29, "
Work Procedure".
 ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheel s, replacing transmitter or low tire pressure warn-
ing control unit. Refer to WT-29, "
Work Procedure".
 Replace grommet seal, valve core and cap of transmitter in TPMS, when replacing each tire by reaching the
wear limit. Refer to WT-66, "
Exploded View".
 For tire inflation indicator function, refer to the following.
- When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
- Read and understand the tire inflation indicator function prior to use.
- Inflate the tires one at a time.
- If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or mo re after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the
tire inflation indicator function or move the vehicle approximately 1 m (3.2 ft) backward or forward to try
again. The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.
- Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an i ndicated value may differ from that of the pressure
gauge.
- Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.
- If TPMS is malfunctioning, the tire inflation indicator is unusable.
Service Notice or Precautions for Road WheelINFOID:0000000006225486
 Genuine NISSAN aluminum wheel is designed for each type of vehicle. Use it on the specified vehicle only.
 Use Genuine NISSAN parts for the wheel nuts.
 Always use them after adjusting the wheel balance. For the balance weights, use Genuine NISSAN alumi-
num wheel weights.
 Use caution when handling the aluminum wheels, because they can be easily scratched. When removing
dirt, do not use any abrasives, a wire brush, or other it ems that may scratch the coating. Use a neutral deter-
gent if a detergent is needed.
 After driving on roads scattered with anti-ici ng salts, wash off the wheels completely.
 When installing road wheels onto the vehicle, always wipe of f any dirt or foreign substances to prevent them
from being trapped between the contact surfaces of wheel.
