tors.
REMOVAL
1. Perform a CPU memory erase on t he EPS with CONSULT before removal.
2. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. Refer to PG-70, "
Removal and Installation (Bat-
tery)"
3. Remove instrument lower panel (LH). Refer to IP-24, "Removal and Installation".

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012430493
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.
Service Notice or Precautions for Steering SystemINFOID:0000000012430494
• In case of removing the steering gear, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle condi- tion, and then check wheel alignment.
• Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
- Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
- Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is im portant to prevent the internal parts from becoming
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; co mmon shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
- Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.
FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)
• During quick steering, rasping noise may be heard from around the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.
The noise is an operating noise of the EPS system under normal conditions. If the rasping noise occurs dur-
ing slow steering, this may not be an operating noise of the system. In this case, it is necessary to find out
the location of the noise and repair, if necessary.
• Do not repeat static steering. (Mot or and EPS control unit could be heated.)

5. Inspect steering wheel near the puller holes for damage. Replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse steering wheel lock nut.
• Align spiral cable correctly before installing steering wheel . Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral
position. Refer to SR-16, "
Removal and Installation".
• Adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-55, "
ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING
