PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS0017J
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.
WAR NIN G:

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.
PrecautionsEDS0017K

Before connecting or disconnecting the transfer control
unit harness connector, turn ignition switch OFF and dis-
connect negative battery terminal. Failure to do so may
damage the transfer control unit. Because battery voltage is
applied to transfer control unit even if ignition switch is
turned off.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin ter-
minals (bend or break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on trans-
fer control unit pin terminal, when connecting pin connec-
tors.

Before replacing transfer control unit, perform transfer con-
trol unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
whether transfer control unit functions properly or not. (See
page TF-55
.)
