PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS004X5
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.
WA RN ING:

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 WorkEIS004X6

When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.

When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the compo-
nent with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.

Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.

Replace a deformed or damaged clip.

If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.

Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.

After re-installation is completed, be sure to check that each part works normally.

Follow the steps below to clean components.
–Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the
fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
–Oily foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%), and wipe
the fouled area.
Then dip a cloth into fresh water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the detergent off. Then rub
with a soft and dry cloth.

Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol, or gasoline.

For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

Revision: October 20052005 QX56

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin ter-
minals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are
not any bends or breaks on transfer control unit pin termi-
nals.

Before replacing transfer control unit, perform transfer con-
trol unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
transfer control unit functions properly. Refer to TF-36,
"Transfer Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Val-
ues" .
Service NoticeEDS0 02 H6

After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer fluid.

Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.

During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.

Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matchmarks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.

Gaskets, seals and O-rings should replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.

Observe the specified torque when assembling.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisEDS0 02 H7
When reading wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams".

PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT".

*: After 2.5 seconds have elapsed.

4WD shift switch, PNP switch, Neutral-4LO switch, vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor are
used in conjunction with the transfer motor.
WAIT DETECTION SWITCH

The wait detection switch operates when there is “circulating” torque produced in the propeller shaft
(L→H) or when there is a phase difference between 2-4 sleeve and clutch drum (H→L). After the release
of the “circulating” torque, the wait detection switch helps provide the 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) shifts.
A difference may occur between the operation of the 4WD shift switch and actual drive mode. At this
point, the wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode.

The wait detection switch operates as follows.
–4WD lock gear (clutch drum) locked: ON
–4WD lock gear (clutch drum) released: OFF

The wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode and the 4WD shift indicator lamp indicates the
vehicle drive mode.
NEUTRAL-4LO SWITCH
The neutral-4LO switch detects that transfer gear is in neutral or 4LO (or shifting from neutral to 4LO) condi-
tion by L-H shift fork position.
ATP SWITCH
ATP switch detects if transfer gear is in a neutral condition by L-H shift fork position.
NOTE:
Transfer gear may be in a neutral condition in 4H-4LO.
2-4WD SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE
The 2-4WD shift solenoid valve operates to apply oil pressure to the wet-multiplate clutch, depending on the
drive mode. The driving force is transmitted to the front wheels through the clutch so the vehicle is set in the
4WD mode. Setting the vehicle in the 2WD mode requires no pressure buildup. In other words, pressure force
applied to the wet-multiplate clutch becomes zero.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The clutch pressure solenoid valve distributes torque (front and rear) in AUTO mode.

ALL-MODE 4WD SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
LINE PRESSURE SWITCH

With the transfer system design, control of the oil pressure provides the transmission of drive torque to the
front wheels. The main pressure to control the oil pressure is referred to as the line pressure.

The line pressure switch determines whether or not adequate line pressure has built up under different
operating conditions.

The line pressure switch turns ON when line pressure is produced.

The line pressure switch senses line pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
CLUTCH PRESSURE SWITCH

The clutch pressure switch determines whether or not adequate clutch pressure has built up under differ-
ent operating conditions.

The clutch pressure switch turns ON when clutch pressure is produced.

The clutch pressure switch senses clutch pressure abnormalities and turns the 4WD warning lamp ON.
TRANSFER FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The transfer temperature sensor detects the transfer fluid temperature and sends a signal to the transfer con-
trol unit.
TRANSFER CONTROL UNIT

Transfer control unit controls transfer control device by input signals of each sensor and each switch.

Self-diagnosis can be done.
TRANSFER CONTROL DEVICE
The transfer control device changes the state of transfer assembly between 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO with the
2WD, AUTO, 4H and 4LO signals of 4WD shift switch.
NOTE:

To shift between 4H⇔4LO, stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and shift the transmission selector
to the "N" position. Depress and turn the 4WD shift switch. The shift switch will not shift to the desired
mode if the transmission is not in "N" or the vehicle is moving. The 4LO indicator lamp will be lit when the
4LO is engaged.

Actuator motor and actuator position switch are integrated.
4WD SHIFT SWITCH AND INDICATOR LAMP
4WD Shift Switch
The 4WD shift switch allows selection from 2WD, AUTO, 4H or 4LO.
4WD Shift Indicator Lamp

Displays driving conditions selected by 4WD shift switch with 2WD, AUTO and 4H indicators while engine
is running. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, all 4WD shift indicator lamps are turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
4LO Indicator Lamp

Displays 4LO condition while engine is running. 4LO indicator lamp flashes if transfer gear does not shift
completely under 2WD, AUTO, 4H⇔4LO. (When 4WD warning lamp is turned on, 4LO indicator lamp is
turned off.)

Turns ON for approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check.
