PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012431679
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR 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 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.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000012431680
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Draining Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000012431681
Drain engine coolant and engine oil when the engine is cooled.
Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000012431682
• Before starting work, check no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000012431683
• When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Alwa ys be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or unin-
structed operations.
• Use care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

NOTE:
The following procedures explain how to disassemble the engine with the engine stand fastened to the bell
housing. Some steps may be different if using a different type of engine stand.
1. Install engine to engine stand:
a. On (M/T models), remove flywheel.
• Secure flywheel using suitable tool and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
• Do not disassemble flywheel.
• Do not place flywheel with signal plate facing down.
• When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
• Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.
b. On (CVT models), remove driveplate. • Secure driveplate using suitable tool and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
• Do not disassemble flywheel.
• Do not place flywheel or drive plat e with signal plate facing down.
• When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
• Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.
c. Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto a widely used engine stand. CAUTION:
• Use the engine stand that has a load capacity approximately 150 kg (331 lb) or more large
enough for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten- tial risk of overturning stand.
- Intake manifold. Refer to EM-28, "
Exploded View".
- Exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-31, "
Removal and Installation".
- Rocker cover. Refer to EM-48, "
Exploded View".

Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of over-
turning.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support the mating surface of transaxle with flywheel
removed.
2. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Draining".

General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000012431266
•
Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
• Do not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
• Before connecting or disc onnecting the ECM harness con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative bat-
tery cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM because
battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition switch is
turned OFF.
• Before removing parts, turn ig nition switch OFF and then dis-
connect battery ground cable.
• Do not disassemble ECM.
• If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to
the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-c ontrol at its initial value. So,
engine operation can vary slight ly in this case. However, this
is not an indication of a malf unction. Do not replace parts
because of a slight variation.
• If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-related
diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.
- Diagnostic trouble codes
- 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
- Freeze frame data
- 1st trip freeze frame data
- System readiness test (SRT) codes
- Test values
• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM pin
terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
• Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge) volt-
age to develop in coil and cond enser, thus resulting in dam-
age to ICs.
• Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in) away
from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control system mal-
functions due to receiving externa l noise, degraded operation
of ICs, etc.
• Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
• Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-71, "
Reference Value".
• Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
• Do not clean mass air flow senso r with any type of detergent.
• Do not disassemble electric th rottle control actuator.
• Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause serious
incidents.
• Do not shock or jar the camsh aft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
