PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EGS0015S
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. 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 whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WAR NIN G:

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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

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 by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectEGS0014Q
NOTE:

This procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition switch in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, 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. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.

Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg-f, 111 lb-f) to ball stud
using a dial gauge. Measure amount of stud movement, and
then make sure that the value is within the specified range.
Replace outer socket and inner socket if the measured value
is outside the standard.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply recommended grease to teeth part and bush part of rack assembly, if necessary.
2. Apply recommended grease to back of rack assembly, if necessary.
3. Install inner socket to rack assembly. Torque to specified value while holding the flat portion of the rack
next to the inner socket using a suitable tool.
4. Apply recommended grease to inner socket. For application points, refer to PS-13, "
COMPONENT (R24K
TYPE)" .
5. Decide on the neutral position for the rack assembly.
6. Apply recommended grease to around retainer (3), then install
retainer (3), spring (4) and adjusting screw (1) to gear housing
assembly (5).
7. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2
turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw (1) until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly (5) measured
before disassembling.
8. Tighten lock nut to (2) the specified torque securing it to prevent
adjusting screw (1) from freewheeling condition.
9. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
10. Using Tools A and B, measure rotating torque of pinion assem-
bly. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, read-
just pinion rotating torque. If the measurement is outside of the
