PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EES0025O
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.

InspectionEES001HZ
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown. Refer to WT-38, "
Road Wheel" .
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.

REMOVAL
1. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.
1. Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbal- ance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the desig-
nated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel.
Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown.
b. When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown so that the balance
weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication posi-
tion (angle).
CAUTION:

Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with
new ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below.

If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.

RotationEES001Q1
NOTE:
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-7, "
PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE" .
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown. Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-38, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after every
wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat
tire.
Maximum allowable imbalance Dynamic (At rim flange)
5 g (0.18 oz) (one side)
Static 10 g (0.35 oz)

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEMPFP:40300
System ComponentsEES001I2
System DescriptionEES001I3
TRANSMITTER
A sensor-transmitter integrated with a valve is installed on a wheel,
and transmits a detected air pressure signal in the form of a radio
wave.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY RECEIVER
Receives the air pressure signal transmitted by the transmitter in
each wheel.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Reads the air pressure signal received by the remote keyless entry
receiver, and controls the low tire pressure warning lamp and the
buzzer operations as shown below. It also has a judgement function
to detect a system malfunction.
WARNING LAMP AND BUZZER
Indicates low tire pressure or system malfunction.
COMBINATION METER
The combination meter receives tire pressure status from the BCM using CAN communication. When a low
tire pressure condition is sensed by the BCM, the combination meter low tire pressure warning lamp and
buzzer are activated.
DISPLAY UNIT
Displays the air pressure of each tire.

After the ignition switch is turned on, the pressure values will not
be displayed until the data of each wheel is received.
