PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005880175
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:0000000005880176
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 On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of A/T and EngineINFOID:0000000003772014
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
 Be sure to turn the ignition sw itch “OFF” and disconnect the negati ve battery cable before any repair
or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc. Will
cause the MIL to light up.
 Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
 Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. May cause the MIL to li ght up due to a short circuit.
 Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
 Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000003772015
NOTE:
If any malfunctions occur in th e RE5R05A model transmission, repl ace the entire transmission assem-
bly.
 Before connecting or disconn ecting the TCM harness connec-
tor, turn ignition switch “O FF” and disconnect negative bat-
tery cable. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
 After performing each TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS, perform “DTC
(Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
 Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants"
.
 Use paper rags not cloth rags during work.
 After replacing the ATF, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outsi de of the transmission. It is important to pre-
vent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
 Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transmission.
 Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.

Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000004187473
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fl uid must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-8, "Introduc-
tion of Periodic Maintenance".
1. Before driving, the A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid temperatures of 30 ° to 50 ° C (86 ° to 122 ° F) using the “COLD”
range on the A/T fluid level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the A/T fluid level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint- free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid fr om the A/T fluid level gauge,
always use a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe until the cap contacts the t op of the A/T fluid charging pipe
as shown.
CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert th e A/T fluid level gauge until
the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with
the gauge reversed from the normal inserted position.
f. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge and note the A/T fluid level. If the A/T fluid level is at low side of range, add A/T fluid to the
transmission through the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the tran smission with A/T fluid.
g. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.
2. Warm up the engine and transmission.
3. Check for any A/T fluid leaks.
4. Drive the vehicle to increase the A/T fluid temperature to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
