PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NHS0008O
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 severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceNHS0008P

Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.

Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.

Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.

The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steer-
ing wheel and column after removal of steering gear.

Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing
down.

Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.

After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionNHS0008Q
Replace occupant classification system control unit and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Refer to SE-166, "
Passenger's Seat Components" .

REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Before servicing, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminal and wait at
least 3 minutes.

Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.

Always work from the side of air bag module. Do not work from the front of it.

Always place air bag module with pad side facing upward.

Do not use old TORX bolts after removal; replace with new bolts.

Do not make an impact to the air bag module by dropping etc. Replace the air bag module if it has
been dropped or sustained an impact.
1. Remove the side lids (left/right).
2. Remove the driver air bag module.

Using Tamper resistant TORX bit, remove the TORX bolt at left and right.

Disconnect the harness connector with the driver air bag module rassed a bit.
NOTE:

For installing/removing driver air bag module connector,
insert thin screwdriver wrapped in tape into notch, lift lock
and remove connector.

Install connector with lock raised, and push lock into con-
nector.

After installing the connector, make sure that the lock is
pushed securely into it.
3. Remove the screws then remove the steering switch.

Disassembly and AssemblyNGS000E6
COMPONENTS
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove mounting bolts of RAS motor assembly, and then remove RAS motor assembly, ground terminal,
O-ring from RAS actuator.
2. Remove mounting bolt of rear wheel steering angle sensor, and then remove rear wheel steering angle
sensor, O-ring from RAS actuator.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Check RAS actuator bracket (rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting area) for crush, deformation, cracks,
or other damage. Replace the RAS actuator malfunction is detected.
ASSEMBLY

Assembly is the reverse order of disassembly. For tightening torque, refer to STC-14, "COMPONENTS" .

After assembling RAS actuator assembly (after removing and installing rear wheel steering angle sensor
and RAS motor), perform the neutral position adjustment.
Neutral Position AdjustmentNGS000E7
Adjust neutral position after performing the following procedure.

Removing and installing or replacing the RAS actuator assembly

Disassembling the RAS actuator assembly (when removing rear wheel steering angle sensor and RAS
motor)
CAUTION:
Perform the neutral position adjustment after installing the RAS actuator assembly to the vehicle.
Before that, remove the rear lower link from the RAS actuator.
1. Disconnect harness connector and remove rear wheel steering angle sensor from the RAS actuator
assembly.
2. Disconnect RAS motor harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.

4. Supply 6 V voltage by connecting the four 1.5 V batteries in a
series. Connect them to the RAS motor connector (motor side),
and then operate the motor and adjust the rack in the neutral
position (A).
CAUTION:
Do not supply 12 V voltage (battery, etc) to the RAS motor.
NOTE:
For right stroke, connect positive probe to the RAS motor con-
nector terminal 1. For left stroke, connect it to the terminal 2.
5. Install rear wheel steering angle sensor with O-ring to the RAS
actuator assembly. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts in the specified torque that the sensor can be
moved by hand.
6. Turn and adjust the rear wheel steering angle sensor so as to make each sensor signal of “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode to the following standard with CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:
During DATA MONITOR mode, “MONITORING ERROR” is displayed. But there is not malfunction
in this procedure.
7. Tighten rear wheel steering angle sensor mounting bolts.
8. Perform “ERASE” with CONSULT-II, and then erase the error memory of rear wheel steering angle sen-
sor. Refer to STC-29, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
9. Perform CONSULT-II “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” again, and then make sure that there is no malfunction.
