ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000012432160
While driving, the active grille shutter system closes shutter to reduce air flow to engine compartment for the
purpose of reducing aerodynamic drag, and as a resu lt, improves the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
ECM controls active grille shutter system by detecting vehicle status through respective modules and sensors.
Active grille shutter actuator is equipped with self-d iagnosis function. When it detects malfunction, transmits
diagnosis signal to ECM and ECM records active grille shutter malfunction.
BASIC MOVEMENTS
• S1: 30 km/h (19 MPH)
• S2: Approx. 30 - 140 km/h (19 - 88 MPH)
• *1: Shutter initial position learning.
• *2: Judgement of high vehicle speed.
• *3: Judgement of low vehicle speed.
DESCRIPTION OF MOVEMENTS
Active grille shutter is fully open when the vehicl e stops or the ignition switch is turned OFF.
ECM operates the shutter to close position in order to perform shutter's initial position learning when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON and the vehicle reaches the specified speed for the first time. At the end of initial posi-
tion leaning ECM operates shutter to open position. (The in itial position learning is performed every time when
ignition switch is turned OFF → ON.)
While driving, after the initial position learning ends, EC M operates the active grille shutter to close position
when the operational conditions of active grille shutter are met.

When the vehicle speed is reduced below the specified speed ECM operates active grille shutter to open posi-
tion.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012431882
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 severity 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 NISSAN/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.
Precaution for Drive ShaftINFOID:0000000012431883
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
• Do not disassemble joint sub-assembly because it is non-overhaul parts.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Clean the parts, before disassembling and assembling.
• Prevent the entry of foreign objects dur ing disassembly of the service location.
• Reassemble disassembled parts carefully in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be placed over parts.
• Use paper waste. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering to parts.
• Clean disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) with kerosene which shall be removed by blowing with air or wiping with paper waste.
Precautions for Wheel Hub and KnuckleINFOID:0000000012431884
Observe the following precautions when assembling wheel hub and knuckle.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Use paper waste. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering to parts.
• If any of wheel hub, steering knuckle, wheel bearing, and wheel hub lock nut is dropped, it must not be used.
• Always check that the tools used for press-fit work of wheel hub and wheel bearing have no wear and defor- mation so that a pressure can be applied vertically.
