Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005874977
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005874978
NOTE:
 This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelli gent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
 Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK ″ position.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery pow er is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Transfer Assembly and Transfer Control Unit ReplacementINFOID:0000000004193517
When replacing transfer assembly or transfer control uni t, check the 4WD shift indicator lamp as follows.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp is turned ON for approximately 1 second.
 If OK, the position between transfer assemb ly and transfer control unit is correct.
 If NG, the position is different between transfer assembly and transfer control unit. Adjust the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit. See METHOD FOR POSITION
ADJUSTMENT that follows.
METHOD FOR POSITION ADJUSTMENT
1. Start engine. Run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
2. Stop vehicle and move A/T selector lever to N position with brake pedal depressed. Stay in N for at least 2
seconds.
3. Turn 4WD shift switch to 2WD position. Stay in 2WD for at least 2 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Start engine.
6. Erase self-diagnosis. Refer to DLN-18, "CONSULT-III Function (ALL MODE AWD/4WD)"
.
7. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp. Refer to DLN-7, "Preliminary Check"
.
If 4WD shift indicator lamp does not indicate 2WD, install new transfer control unit and retry the above
check.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000004193518
 Before connecting or disconnect ing the transfer control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery cables. Failure to do so may damage the transfer con-
trol unit. Battery voltage is ap plied to transfer control unit
even if ignition swit ch is turned “OFF”.
 When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin termi-
nals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are not
any bends or breaks on transfer control unit pin terminals.

< PRECAUTION >[ATX14B]
PRECAUTIONS

Before replacing transfer cont rol unit, perform transfer con-
trol unit input/output signal inspection and make sure transfer
control unit functions properly. Refer to DLN-81, "Reference
Va lu e ".
Service NoticeINFOID:0000000004193519
 After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer fluid.
 Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
 During removal or installation, keep in side of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the tr ansfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matchmarks are required, be cer-
tain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
 All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, use it.
 Observe the specified torque when assembling.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer.
