Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003890158
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 severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. 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 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/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
 Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000003890159
NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, 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. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precautions for Drive ShaftINFOID:0000000003811071
CAUTION:
Note the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
 Never disassemble joint sub-assembly because it is non-overhaul parts.
 Perform work in a dust-free location.
 Before disassembling and assembling, clean the parts.
 Prevent the entry of foreign objects during disassembly of the service location.

MOUNTING INSPECTION
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
 Move wheel hub and bearing assembly in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there is no looseness of
wheel bearing.
 Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or other irregular conditions. If there is any of
irregular conditions, replace wheel hub and bearing assembly.Standard

INSPECTION
Description
CAUTION:
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the standard value, check front suspension
parts for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.
 Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
Preliminary Check
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: Refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
 Transverse link ball joint axial end play: Refer to FSU-11, "
Inspection".
 Strut operation.
 Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of suspension member and transverse link for cracks, deformation and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER, CASTER, AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand at the
same height so that vehicle remains horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install the CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040S0) with the following procedure on wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove three wheel to nuts, and install the guide bolts to hub
bolt.
2. Screw the adapter into the plate until it contacts the plate tightly.
3. Screw the center plate into the plate.
4. Insert the plate assembly on the guide bolt. Put the spring in,
and then evenly screw the three guide bolt nuts. When fastening
the guide nuts, do not completely compress the spring.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of the
center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the
standard value, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is
detected.
