PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS00161
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 Seat Belt ServiceEHS00162
CAUTION:

Before removing the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect
both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.

After replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting seat belt pre-ten-
sioner assembly connector, make sure entire SRS operates properly. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Oper-
ation Check" .

Do not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.

Do not reuse seat belt anchor bolts after removal. Replace with new ones.

Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.

Never oil tongue and buckle.

If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.

If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.

When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:

Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.

NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do
so could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-
tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which
the air bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:

The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).

The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e., torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)

The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.

Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.

The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.

Remove the cell plug using a suitable tool.

Add distilled water up to the MAX level.
Sulfation
A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulfation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been sulfated, note its voltage and
current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less current
and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of charging
sulfated batteries.
A sulfated battery may sometimes be brought back into service
by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, followed by
a battery capacity test.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Use the following chart to correct your hydrometer reading
according to electrolyte temperature.

1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or repair
as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends with ignition switch in “OFF” position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends
and tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connec-
tion will prevent testing and a “CHECK CONNECTION” mes-
sage will appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean
the battery post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the
test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery termi- nal, and the black to the negative terminal.
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys, select “IN-VEHICLE” on the tester and then press the “ENTER ”
key.
5. Locate the battery type and rating stamped or written on the top case of the battery to be tested.
NOTE:
The battery rating will be either of the following:

CCA: Cold Cranking Amps (490 CCA, 550 CCA, etc.)

JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard.
When using the Battery Tester use the CCA rating only.

The tester requires the CCA rating for the battery be entered
exactly as it is written or stamped on the battery.

(U.S. market) Refer to the latest "Battery Testing" Technical
Service Bulletin (TSB) for a chart which contains these ratings
listed by vehicle.

You must not use the JIS rating.
6. Using the arrow and “ENTER” keys alternately, select the battery type and rating.
NOTE:
The tester lists five choices; CCA, JIS, IEC, DIN, and EN. Only use CCA.
7. Press “ENTER” to begin the test. Diagnosis results are dis-
played on the tester. Refer to SC-8, "
DIAGNOSTIC RESULT

8. Press “ENTER”, then test output code is displayed. Record the
test output code on the repair order.
9. Toggle back to the “DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN ” for test results.
NOTE:

If necessary, the tester will ask the user to determine if the
battery has just been charged. Choose the appropriate selec-
tion by pressing the up or down arrow button and then press
the “ENTER ” button to make the selection.

When testing a battery installed in a vehicle that has recently
been driven, select “BEFORE CHARGE”.

If the battery has just been slow charged due to a “CHARGE
& RETEST ” decision by the tester, and the tester asks the user “BEFORE CHARGE/AFTER
CHARGE ”, select “AFTER CHARGE ”.
