Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951700
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.
Precautions for Drive ShaftINFOID:0000000009464432
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
• Joint sub-assembly does not disass emble because it is non-overhaul parts.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Before disassembling and assembling, clean the outside of parts.
• Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be tak en into account during disassembly of the service loca-
tion.
• Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be placed over parts.
• Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering
to parts.
• Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.

9. Put alignment marks on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly, then remove disc rotor.
10. Using a piece of wood and a hammer, tap on the lock nut to dis- engage drive shaft from wheel hub.
CAUTION:
• Do not place drive shaft joint to an extreme angle. Also be careful not to over extend slide joint.
• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down without support.
NOTE:
Use suitable puller if drive shaft cannot be separated from wheel
hub and bearing assembly.
11. Remove the LH drive shaf t from transaxle assembly.
• Remove drive shaft from transaxle using Tool and drive shaft puller or suitable tool.
- Set Tool and a drive shaft puller or suitable tool between drive
shaft (slide joint side) and transaxle as shown, then remove
drive shaft.
12. Remove the differential oil seal. Refer to TM-197, "Removal and Installation"
(REOF10D), TM-398,
"Removal and Installation" (REOF10E).
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not use power tools to ti ghten the wheel hub lock nut.
• Do not reuse the cotter pin or the wheel hub lock nut.
• Install a new differential side oil seal. Refer to TM-197, "Removal and Installation"
(REOF10D), TM-398,
"Removal and Installation" (REOF10E).
- In order to prevent damage to differential oil seal, plac e Tool (A) onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as
shown.
• Install a new circlip on drive shaft in the circular clip groove on transaxle side. Refer to FAX-15, "Disassem-
bly and Assembly (LH)".
CAUTION:
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fastened.
• Slide drive shaft into transaxle and tap with a hammer to install securely. After its insertion, try to pull the
flange out of the slide joint by hand. If it pulls out, t he circlip is not properly meshed with the transaxle side
gear.
• Align the marks made on the rotor and front wheel hub during disassembly.

- In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, place Tool(A) onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as shown. Slide drive
shaft into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
• Install new circlip on drive shaft in the circular clip groove on tran- saxle side. Refer to FAX-20, "Disassembly and Assembly (RH)"
.
CAUTION:
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fas-
tened.
- After its insertion, try to pull the flange out of the slide joint by hand. If it pulls out, the circlip is not properly meshed with the transaxle
side gear.
• For QR25DE models, install the retaining bracket with the notch facing up and follow the bolt tightening
order.
• Align the marks made on rotor and front wheel hub and bearing.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check CVT fluid level and leakage. Refer to TM-84, "Adjustment" (REOF10D), TM-286, "Adjustment"
(REOF10E).
2. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjustment"
.
3. Adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-58, "Work Procedure"
.
