Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005256398
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 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 inoper ative, 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 unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent 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 Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005402593
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 disconnecti ng 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 power 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.

PRE-INSPECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC
Basic InspectionINFOID:0000000005147151
The engine start function, door lock function, power di stribution system and NATS-IVIS/NVIS in the Intelligent
Key system are closely related to each other regarding control. Narrow down the functional area in question
by performing basic inspection to i dentify which function is malfunctioning. The vehicle security function can
operate only when the door lock and power distribution system are operating normally. Therefore, it is easy to
identify any factor unique to the vehicle security system by performing the vehicle security operation check
after basic inspection.
1.CHECK DOOR LOCK OPERATION
Check the door lock for normal operation with the Intelligent Key controller and door request switch.
Successful door lock operation with the Intelligent Key and request SW indicates that the remote keyless entry
receiver and inside key antenna required for engine start are functioning normally.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• The engine start function of Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to start and stop the
engine without using the key. It verifies the electroni c ID using two-way communications when pressing the
ignition knob switch while carrying the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the results of electronic ID
verification for Intelligent Key using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle.
NOTE:
The driver should carry the Intelligent Key at all times.

• Intelligent Key has 2 IDs (for Intelligent Key and for NATS). It can perform the door lock/unlock operation and
the engine start operation when the registered Intelligent Key is carried.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it can be used as emergency back-up by inserting the
mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key to the ignition key cylinder. At that time, perform the NATS ID verifi-
cation. If it is used when the Intelligent Key is carried, perform the Intelligent Key ID verification.
• If the ID is successfully verified, and when the igniti on knob switch is pressed, steering lock will be released
and initiating the engine will be possible.
• The door lock/unlock operation can be performed when t he Intelligent Key battery is discharged, by operat-
ing the driver door key cylinder using the mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key.
• Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard Intelligent Key) on request from the owner.
NOTE:
• Refer to DLK-21, "
INTELLIGENT KEY : S ystem Description" for any functions other than engine start func-
tion of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
• For vehicles equipped with the In telligent Key system, the transponder [the chip for NATS ID verifi-
cation] is integrated into the Inte lligent Key. Therefore, the Intelligent Key alone is capable of provid-
ing security clearance for the engine to start. Al so, when the mechanical key alone is inserted into
the key cylinder, performs the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start. For vehicles without
Intelligent Key system, the transponder is integrated into the mechanical key which must be inserted
into the key cylinder to perform the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the ignition knob switch is ON, the Intelligent Key unit transmits the request signal to the Intelligent
Key.
2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the Intelligent Key unit.
3. The Intelligent Key unit receives the Intelligent Ke y ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. Intelligent Key unit transmits the steering lock/unlock signal to steering lock solenoid if the verification
results are OK. For detail of key warning message operation, refer to DLK-38, "
System Description".
5. Release of the steering lock.
6. BCM transmits the starter request signal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition is satisfied.
7. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
8. When shift position is in P or N position, battery power is supplied through the starter relay and operate the starter motor and to start the cranking.
CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligen t Key system, the “KEY” warning message will be dis-
played in the combination meter. At th at time, the engine cannot be started.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
OPERATION WHEN MECHANICAL KEY IS USED
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, performs the NATS ID verification between the integrated tran-
sponder and BCM by inserting the mechanical key into the key cylinder, and then the engine can be started.
For details relating to starting the engine using mechanical key, refer to SEC-14, "
System Description".
STEERING LOCK OPERATION
Steering is locked by steering lock solenoid when ignition switch is in the LOCK position (the ignition knob is
released) and key switch is OFF (key is removed from ignition key cylinder).
