Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005848436
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 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 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 NISSAN/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 harn esses can be identified 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:0000000005848437
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent 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 Power Generation Variable Voltage Control SystemINFOID:0000000003776538
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the
charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical com-
ponent is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that compo-
nent will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of
the engine control system and battery discharge m ay occur. Do not connect an electrical component
or ground wire directly to the battery terminal.

System DiagramINFOID:0000000003776545
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776546
Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator,
engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE:
When any malfunction is detected in the power generat ion variable voltage control system, power generation
is performed according to the characterist ic of the IC regulator in the generator.
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776547
ALMIA0057GB
Component part Description
Battery current sensor The battery current sensor is installed on the battery cable at the
negative terminal. The battery current sensor detects the charg-
ing/discharging current of the battery and sends a voltage signal
to the ECM according to the current value detected.
ECM The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging cur-
rent of the battery. The ECM judges the battery condition based on
this signal.
The ECM judges whether to request more output via the power
generation voltage variable control according to the battery condi-
tion.
When performing the power generation voltage variable control,
the ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according
to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the pow-
er generation command value to the IPDM E/R.
IPDM E/R The IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command
value into a pulse width modulated (PWM) command signal and
sends it to the IC regulator.
Generator (IC regulator) The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the tar-
get power generation voltage based on the received PWM com-
mand signal.
When there is no PWM command signal, the generator performs
the normal power generation according to the characteristic of the
IC regulator.
