Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951705
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.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000009460620
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000009460621
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.
Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000009460622
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in designated positions.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Install Tool (A) to strut and secure it in a vise.CAUTION:
When installing Tool, wrap a sh op cloth around strut to pro-
tect it from damage.
2. Install Tool to strut rod.
3. Slightly loosen piston rod lock nut. WARNING:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut completely. If it is removed completely, the coil spring can jump
out and may cause serious damage or injury.
4. Compress coil spring using a commercially available spring compressor.
WARNING:
Make sure that the pawls of the two spring compressors are
firmly hooked on the spring. The spring compressors must
be tightened alternately so as not to tilt the spring.
5. Making sure coil spring is free between upper and lower seats, then remove piston rod lock nut.
6. Remove small parts on strut. • Remove strut spacer, strut mount insulator, strut mounting insulator bracket thrust bearing, spring upper
seat, and upper rubber seat. Then remove coil spring.
7. Remove bound bumper from spring upper seat.
8. Gradually release spring compressor (commercial service tool), and remove coil spring.
