Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NIS0023J
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 NIS0023K

Disconnect both battery cables in advance.

Disconnect air bag system line in advance.

Do not tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.

Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.

When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, which
may get in the way with cloth.

When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.

Keep removed parts protected with cloth.

If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.

If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.

Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.

After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.

Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron pry bar or something similar between sus-
pension arm and axle assembly.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace if malfunction is detected.
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000J7
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-6, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Ball joint axial end play of suspension arm. Refer to RSU-5, "
INSPECTION SUSPENSION ARM BALL
JOINT AXIAL END PLAY" .
5. Shock absorber operation.
6. Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Each of front lower link, rear lower link, radius rod, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock
absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule.Standard value

Precaution for Seat Belt ServiceNHS0007W
CAUTION:

Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, discon-
nect the both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.

Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.

After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat
belt pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation Check"
.

Do not use disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.

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 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-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).

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.

Service NoticeNIS0025J

When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.

Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to oil or
damage them.

Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.

When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.

When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust pre-
vention measures.
Precautions for WorkNIS0025K

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, and gasoline.

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