Seat Belt InspectionAHS000ID
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 col-
lision 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 colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioners
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).

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 front seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the colli-
sion in which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime should sound for about six seconds.
b. Fasten driver's seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should stop.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, perform self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation Check" .
3. Make sure that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth, because dirt
built up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check the seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
Inspect the front seat belt through-anchor:
1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Use a clip or other device to the fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening.
3. Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull taut while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt.
4. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.

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 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 have 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. Use only the CCA choice .
7. Press “ENTER” to begin the test. Diagnosis results are dis- played on the tester. Refer to SC-8, "

from TCM, and through A/T assembly terminal 9

to IPDM E/R terminal 53.
Ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminals 38, 50 and 60

from grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With the ignition switch in the START position, and provided that the IPDM E/R receives a starter relay ON sig-
nal from the CAN lines, the IPDM E/R is energized and power is supplied

from ignition switch terminal 5

CHARGING SYSTEMPFP:23100
System DescriptionAKS0079I
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link block)

to alternator terminal 4 (“S” terminal).
“B” Terminal supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (“S” terminal) detecting the input voltage.
The charging circuit is protected by the 120A fusible link (VK45DE and VQ35DE AWD).
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 7 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminal 2

through alternator terminal 3 (“L” terminal)

to alternator terminal 2 (“E” terminal) (VK45DE) or through case ground (VQ35DE)

through ground E304 (VK45DE).
With power and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing suf-
ficient voltage with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate charge warning lamp, if any of the following symp-
toms occur while alternator is operating:

Excessive voltage is produced.

No voltage is produced.
