When SRSisactivated inacollision:

CD
Remove theairbag module.

@
Remove thesteering wheelassembly.

Check thespiral cableusingthetable shown below:
• Ifthe spiral cableshows anyvisible damage suchasdents, cracks, ordeformation, replaceit
with anew one.

@
Install newsteering wheelassembly.

CID
Install newairbag module.

PRECAUTIONSANDPREPARATION
Precautions
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTSYSTEM(SRS)"AIRBAG"
(Dual AirBag System)

The Supplemental RestraintSystem"AirBag" usedalong withaseat belt,helps toreduce therisk or
severity ofinjury tothe driver andfront passenger inafrontal collision. TheSupplemental Restraint
System consists ofair bag modules (locatedinthe center ofthe steering wheelandonthe instrument
panel onthe passenger side),adiagnosis sensorunit,warning lamp,wiring harness andspiral cable.
Information necessarytoservice thesystem safelyisincluded inthe
RSsection
ofthis Service Manual.

WARNING: • Toavoid rendering theSRS inoperative, whichcouldincrease therisk ofpersonal injuryordeath
in the event ofacollision whichwould resultinair bag inflation, allmaintenance mustbeperformed
by an authorized NISSANdealer.
• Improper maintenance, includingincorrectremovalandinstallation ofthe SRS, canlead topersonal
injury caused byunintentional activationofthe system.
• Donot use electrical testequipment onany circuit related tothe SRS unless instructed tointhis
Service Manual. SRSwiring harnesses arecovered withyellow insulation eitherjustbefore the
harness connectors orfor the complete harness,foreasy identification.

STEERINGSYSTEM
• Before disassembly, thoroughlycleantheoutside ofthe unit.
• Disassembly shouldbedone inaclean workarea. Itis important toprevent theinternal partsfrom
becoming contaminated bydirt orother foreign matter.
• Place disassembled partsinorder, onaparts rack,fore"asier andproper assembly.
• Use nylon cloths orpaper towels toclean theparts; common shopragscanleave lintthat might
interfere withtheir operation.
• Before inspection orreassembly, carefullycleanallparts withageneral purpose, non-flammable
solvent.
• Before assembly, applyacoat ofrecommended ATF*tohydraulic parts.Vaseline maybeapplied to
O-rings andseals. Donot use any grease.
• Replace allgaskets, sealsandO-rings. Avoiddamaging O-rings,sealsandgaskets duringinstalla-
tion. Perform functional testswhenever designated.
