SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000003848852
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attached hardware after any collision.
NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision is minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Not
doing so could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during
a collision must also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-ten-
sioners must be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air
bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
 The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
 The seat belt was damaged in an accident (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
 The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
 Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
 The seat belt pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime
should sound for about six seconds.
b. Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn off and the chime (if sounding) should
stop.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III and air bag warning lamp.
Refer to SRC-10, "
Diagnosis Description".
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels
freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If
the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Because dirt
build-up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check that seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
Inspect the front seat belt through-anchor
1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.
3. Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it
tauntly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt
stuck there.
4. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.
NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no looseness or wrinkling.

STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
 When installing low pressure hose (1), refer to the figure.
CAUTION:
 Never apply fluid to the hose (1) and tube (2).
 Insert hose securely until it contacts spool (A) of tube.
 Leave clearance (L) when installing clamp (3).
 When installing lower joint to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
- Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position.
NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn gear-sub assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate position of the distance.
- Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position of
gear housing assembly (B).
- Install slit part of lower joint (C) aligning with the rear cover cap
projection (A). Make sure that the slit part of lower joint (C) is
aligned with rear cover cap projection (A) and the marking position
of gear housing assembly (B).
 After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system.
Refer to ST-32, "
Inspection".
 Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground when removing steer-
ing gear assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection".
 Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking wheel alignment. Refer to BRC-66, "
ADJUST-
MENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION : Special Repair Requirement" (VDC mod-
els).
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000003806324
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove low pressure piping.
CAUTION:
 Disassemble and assemble steering gear assembly by fixing the mounting area with a vise using
copper plates.
 Clean steering gear assembly with kerosene before disassembling. Be careful to avoid splash-
ing or applying any kerosene over connector of discharge port or return port.
2. Remove cylinder tubes from gear housing assembly.
3. Remove rear cover cap from gear-sub assembly.
4. Measure adjusting screw height “H”, and loosen adjusting
screw.
CAUTION:
 Never loosen adjusting screw 2 turns or more.

12. Apply recommended sealant into the thread of adjusting screw
(2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly measured
before disassembling.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket, Three Bond 1111B or equiva-
lent.
13. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
14. Adjust pinion rotating torque with the following procedure.
a. Measure pinion rotating torque within ±180° of neutral position
of the rack assembly using Tools. Stop the gear at the point
where highest torque is read.
b. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 5.4 N·m (0.55 kg-m, 48
in-lb), and then loosen by 20 to 40°.
c. Measure pinion rotating torque using Tools to make sure that the
measured value is within the standard. Readjust if the value is
outside the standard. Replace steering gear assembly, if the
value is outside the standard after readjusting, or adjusting
screw rotating torque is 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb) or less.
d. Apply recommended liquid gasket to inner socket and turn pinion fully to left with inner socket installed to
gear housing assembly.
e. Install dial indicator at 5 mm (0.20 in) (L) from the edge of gear
housing assembly (1), and tooth point.
f. Measure vertical movement of rack assembly when pinion is
turned clockwise with torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 ft-lb).
Readjust adjusting screw angle if the measured value is outside
the standard.
 If reading is outside of the specification, readjust screw angle
with adjusting screw.
CAUTION:
 If reading is still outside of specification, or if the rotating torque of adjusting screw is less
than 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb), replace steering gear assembly.
 Never turn adjusting screw more than twice.
 Replace steering gear assembly when adjusting screw is removed or turned more than twice.
