An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under s eating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
HEAT SENSITIVE
• The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
• To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °).
• If incident occurs while heating t he unit, either replace or properly
insulate the component.
FREEZING
• The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freez-
ing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
• There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-
side overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis
of those electrical components which could be affected.
• The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
WATER INTRUSION
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This c an be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
CAUTION:
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
ELECTRICAL LOAD
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.
COLD OR HOT START UP
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when
the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to
make a proper diagnosis.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951708
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 t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section 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 which would result in air bag 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 SR section.
• 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 Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 mi nutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for TPMSINFOID:0000000009464472
WARNING:
Radio waves could adversely affect electrical medi cal equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should
contact the electrical medical equipment manu facturer for possible influences before use.
• Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1 minute, then turns ON when any malfunction occurs except low
tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), or register
the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF. For ID registration, refer to WT-25, "Work Procedure"
.
• ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheels, replacing tire pressure sensor or BCM. Refer to WT-25, "Work Procedure"
.
• For easy fill tire alert function, refer to the following. WT-9, "Easy Fill Tire Alert Function"
- When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
- Read and understand the easy fill tire alert 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
easy fill tire alert 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 easy fill tire alert is unusable.
• Replace grommet seal, valve core and valve cap of tire pressure sensor in TPMS when replacing each tire
by reaching the wear limit. Refer to WT-57, "Exploded View"
.
• Because the tire pressure sensor conforms to No rth America radio law, the following items must be
observed.
- The sensor may be used only in North America.
- It may not be used in any method other than the specified method.
- It must not be disassembled or modified.
