Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951759
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 three minutes before performing any service.
ServiceINFOID:0000000009463063
• Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS ci rcuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
• Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least three
minutes.
For approximately three minutes after the cables are remo ved, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least three minutes
have passed.
• Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “ ⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also chec k diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
• The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering
wheel and column after removal of steering gear.
• Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag m odule standing with the stud bolt side facing down.
• Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
• After air bag inflates, the instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
• Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009463065
• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a s hop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.

• Do not reuse the air bag di agnosis sensor unit bolts.
• Replace the air bag diagnosis sensor unit if it has been
dropped or sustained an impact.
• Do not strike the air ba g diagnosis sensor unit.
• Replace the air bag diagnosis sensor unit if any SRS air
bag has been deployed or if any front seat belt pre-ten-
sioner has been deployed.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse the air bag diagnosis sensor unit bolts.
• The air bag diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the label arrow mark " " pointing
toward the front of the vehicle for proper operation.
• Do not damage the air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors during installation.
• Be careful not to damage the diagnosis sensor unit harness.
• After installation is complete, check that no syst em malfunction is detected causing the air bag
warning lamp to illuminate.
• If a malfunction is indicated by the air bag warnin g lamp after repair or replacement of the malfunc-
tioning parts, perform the SRS final check. Refer to SRC-17, "SRS Final Check"
.
• After replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor un it, confirm using CONSULT that the ECU discrimi-
nated number (identification number) or part nu mber of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sen-
sor unit matches the ECU discrimin ated number (identification number) or part number of the
replaced (old) air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
NOTE:
If the ECU discriminated number or pa rt number of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit differs
from the ECU discriminated number or part number of the replaced air bag diagnosis sensor unit, reconfirm
the parts information and verify that the corre ct air bag diagnosis sensor unit was installed.

• Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
• Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is im portant to prevent the internal parts from becoming
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
• For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
• Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
• Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean al l parts with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent.
• Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent to hydraulic parts.
Petroleum jelly may be applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
• Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during installation. Per- form functional tests whenever designated.
