Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NLAT0002The Supplemental Restraint System ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº, used along with a seat
belt, help to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The
Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and
on the instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning
lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
In addition to the supplemental air bag modules for a frontal collision, the supplemental side air bag used along
with the seat belt helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a side col-
lision. The supplemental side air bag consists of air bag modules (located in the outer side of front seats),
satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal collision),
wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal collision). Information
necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
+To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified with yellow harness connector (and with
yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape before the harness connectors).
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (EURO-
OBD) System of CVT and Engine
NLAT0198The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MI) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
+Be sure to turn the ignition switch ªOFFº and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc.
will cause the MI to light up.
+Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI 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 MI to light up due to a short circuit.
+Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
+Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
SEF289H
PrecautionsNLAT0003+Before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the
TCM. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned off.

The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
EURO-OBD SELF-DIAGNOSISNLAT0004S04+CVT self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the SPORT indicator lamp. Refer to the table on AT-22 for the indicator used to dis-
play each self-diagnostic result.
+The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MI are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo-
ries.
Always perform the procedure ªHOW TO ERASE DTCº on AT-19 to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MI.
For details of EURO-OBD, refer to EC section (ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº).
+Certain systems and components, especially those related to EURO-OBD, may use a new style
slide-locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL section, ªDescriptionº, ªHARNESS CONNEC-
TORº.

IntroductionNLAT0017The CVT system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (EURO-OBD) performed by the TCM in combi-
nation with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI (malfunction indicator) and is stored as a DTC in
the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the CVT indicator (warning) lamp or SPORT indi-
cator lamp. The malfunction is stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with EURO-
OBD self-diagnostic items. For detail, refer to AT-28.
EURO-OBD Function for CVT SystemNLAT0018The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (EURO-OBD) functions for the CVT system. One
function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with EURO-OBD-related parts of the CVT system. The sig-
nal is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding EURO-OBD-related part. The other
function is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MI (malfunction indicator) on the instrument panel.
Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation to CVT
system parts.
EURO-OBD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)NLAT0020HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTCNLAT0020S01DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
1.(
No Tools)The number of blinks of the malfunction indicator in the Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-Di-
agnostic Results) Examples: 0705, 0710, 0715, 0720, etc. For details, refer to EC section [ªMalfunction
Indicator (MI)º, ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº].
These DTCs are controlled by NISSAN.
2.(
with CONSULT-II orGST)CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710,
P0720, P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by ISO15031-6.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
+Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction.
However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still
occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is rec-
ommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC is shown at left. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed
in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode for ªENGINEº with CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many times
the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
