Trouble Diagnosis Procedure INFOID:0000000004306695
INTERVIEW WITH CUSTOMER Interview with the customer is important to detect t he root cause of CAN communication system errors and to
understand vehicle condition and symptoms for proper trouble diagnosis.
Points in interview
• What: Parts name, system name
• When: Date, Frequency
• Where: Road condition, Place
• In what condition: Driving condition/environment
• Result: Symptom
NOTE:
• Check normal units as well as error symptoms.
- Example: Circuit between ECM and the combination meter is judged normal if the customer indicates tachometer functions normally.
• When a CAN communication system error is present, mult iple control units may malfunction or go into fail-
safe mode.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004498345
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 “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
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 “SRS AIRBAG”.
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit re lated to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identifi ed by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
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.
Precautions for Trouble Diagnosis INFOID:0000000004306699
CAUTION:
• Never apply 7.0 V or more to the measurement terminal.
• Use a tester with open terminal voltage of 7.0 V or less.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect th e battery cable from the negative terminal when
checking the harness.
Precautions for Harness Repair INFOID:0000000004306700
• Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area. NOTE:
A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in). SKIB8766E

PRECAUTIONS
• Bypass connection is never allowed at the repaired area. NOTE:
Bypass connection may cause CAN communication error. The
spliced wire becomes separated and the characteristics of twisted
line are lost.
• Replace the applicable harness as an assembly if error is detected on the shield lines of CAN communica- tion line. SKIB8767E
