aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1) and the
marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
• After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-15, "Inspection"
.
• Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground when removing steer-
ing gear assembly.
• Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjust-
ment".
• Perform neutral position steering angle adjustment. Refer to BRC-58, "Work Procedure"
.

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.

ID REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464492
This procedure must be performed:
• after replacement of a transmitter or BCM (with individual tire pressure display).
• after replacement of a transmitter, BCM or rotation of the wheels (without individual tire pressure display).
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000009464493
TPMS ID registration can be performed using one of the following procedures:
• Transmitter Activation tool (J-45295-A) with CONSULT (preferred method)
• Signal Tech II tool (J-50190) with CONSULT (preferred method)
• Signal Tech II tool (J-50190) without CONSULT
• CONSULT only
TPMS REGISTRATION WITH TRANSMI TTER ACTIVATION TOOL (J-45295-A)
With CONSULT
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Using CONSULT, select “WORK SUPPORT” in BC M (AIR PRESSURE MONITOR). Then, select “ID
REGIST.”
3. Select “Start” on “ID REGIST” screen.
4. Hold the transmitter activation tool (J-45295-A) (1) against the side of the left front tire, near the valve stem.
5. With the tool held at a 0 to 15 degree angle to the tire, press and
hold the transmitter activation tool button until the indicator lamp
turns OFF (approximately 5 seconds).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining tires in this order: right
front, right rear and left rear.
7. When ID registration is complete, check the following pattern at each wheel.
8. After the ID registration procedure for all wheels is complete, press “End” on the CONSULT to finish ID registration.
9. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.
TPMS REGISTRATION WITH SIGNAL TECH II TOOL (J-50190)
NOTE:
The Signal Tech II must be updated with software version 1.1.48 or newer in order to perform the below proce-
dures. The Signal Tech II software updates can onl y be downloaded from a CONSULT unit with ASIST. Other
versions of ASIST will not show the updates.
With CONSULT
1. Adjust the tire pressure for all tires to the recommended value. Refer to WT-60, "Tire".
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Using CONSULT, select “WORK SUPPORT” in BC M (AIR PRESSURE MONITOR). Then, select “ID
REGIST.”
4. Select “Start” on “ID REGIST” screen.

ID REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
5. Turn on the Signal Tech II tool (J-50190).
6. Hold the Signal Tech II against the side of the left front tire, near the valve stem.
7. With the tool held at a 0 to 15 degree angle to the tire, select
“Activate Sensor” from the main menu, then press and release
the “OK” button to activate the s ensor. Once the sensor is acti-
vated, the vehicle parking lamps will flash and the sensor ID will
appear on the CONSULT screen.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining tires in this order: right
front, right rear and left rear.
9. When ID registration is complete, check the following pattern at each wheel.
10. Once all sensors have been activated, select “End” on the CONSULT to finish ID registration.
11. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.
Without CONSULT
1. Adjust the tire pressure for all tires to the recommended value. Refer to WT-60, "Tire".
2. Turn on the Signal Tech II tool (J-50190) and select “TPMS Check” from the main menu.
3. Select vehicle model and year.
4. When prompted, hold the Signal Tech II against the side of the
left front tire, near the valve stem.
5. With the tool held at a 0 to 15 degree angle to the tire, press and release the “OK” button to activate the sensor. Once the sensor
is activated, the tool will sound a tone and the tire pressure will
be displayed.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining tires in this order: right
front, right rear and left rear.
7. When prompted, connect the tool to the data link connector. The tool will connect to the BCM, read the VIN, read sensor IDs and
check for TPMS DTCs. Along wit h DTCs detected, one of the
following will be displayed next to each wheel:
- N/A - Not applicable because no ID found by the tool
- OK - Wheel and sensor are in original position
- NEW - New ID found compared to BCM
- RT - Wheel has been rotated
- Low Press - Low tire pressure
8. If no DTC is present or the repair has been complet ed, press the “OK” button to register the IDs and clear
DTCs.
9. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.
10. Print a Signal Tech II Audit Report for your records. Re fer to the Signal Tech II User Guide for instructions.
