Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951695
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section 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 which 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 SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 three minutes before performing any service.

OUTLINE
• BCM (body control module) controls various electric al components. It receives the information required from
CAN communication and the signals received from each switch and sensor.
• BCM has a combination switch reading function for readi ng the status of combination switches (light, turn
signal, wiper and washer) in addition to functions for c ontrolling the operation of various electrical compo-
nents. It also has a signal transmission function for ot her systems, and a power consumption control function
that reduces the power consumpt ion with the ignition switch OFF.
• BCM is equipped with a diagnosis function that operates with CONSULT and allows for various settings to
be changed.

OUTLINE
• BCM incorporates a power saving control function t hat reduces the power consumption according to the
vehicle status.
• BCM switches the status (control mode) by itself wit h the power saving control function. It performs the sleep
request to each unit (IPDM E/R and combination mete r) that operates with the ignition switch OFF.
Normal mode (wake-up)
- CAN communication is normally performed with other units
- Each control with BCM is operating properly
CAN communication sleep mode (CAN sleep)
- CAN transmission is stopped
- Control with BCM only is operating
Low power consumption mode (BCM sleep)- Low power consumption control is active
- CAN transmission is stopped
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL WITH BCM
BCM reduces the power consumption with the follo wing operation in the low power consumption mode.
• The reading interval of each switch changes from 10 ms interval to 60 ms interval.
Sleep mode activation
Signal name Input Output Description
• Ignition switch ON signal
• Ignition switch signal Engine switch (push switch) IPDM E/R (CAN) Inputs the push-button ignition
switch (push switch) signal and
transmits the ignition switch sta-
tus judged with BCM via CAN
communication.
Door switch signal Any door switch • Combination meter (CAN)
• IPDM E/R (CAN) Inputs the door switch signal
and transmits it via CAN com-
munication.

• BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and combination meter via CAN communica-
tion.
• BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are ful-
filled.
• Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wakeup signal. BCM is in CAN com- munication sleep mode.
• BCM is in the low power consumption mode and performs the low power consumption control when all of the
BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.
Sleep condition
Wake-up operation
• BCM changes from the low power consumption m ode to the CAN communication sleep mode when the any
of the BCM wake-up conditions are fulfilled. Only the control with BCM is activated.
• BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (wake up) to each unit when any of the CAN wake-up conditions are fulfilled. It changes from the low power consum ption mode or the CAN communication sleep mode to the
normal mode.
• Each unit starts the transmission of CAN communicati on with the sleep wake up signal. In addition, the com-
bination meter transmits the wake up signal to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communica-
tion start.
