PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
UGS000A8
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.
WA RN ING:

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 DisconnectUGS000A9
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob 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 NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism 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.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
Service Notice or Precautions for EPS SystemUGS0008F
CAUTION:
Check or confirm the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis.

Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if
any malfunction, such as EPS warning lamp turns ON, occurs.

Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.

Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there
is not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease,
etc).

Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.

Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight
or altered ground clearance.

Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.

Check if the battery voltage is proper

Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.

Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and discon-
nect battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is
applied to EPS control unit even if ignition switch is turned
“OFF”.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin termi-
nals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are
no bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.

Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit
input/output signal inspection and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-11,
"EPS Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Values" .

EPS SYSTEMPFP:28500
System DescriptionUGS000A5
EPS CONTROL UNIT

EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data,
such as steering wheel turning force (sensor signal) from the
torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an
optimum assist torque to the EPS motor according to the driving
condition.

EPS control unit decreases the output to EPS motor while
extremely using the power steering function (e.g., full steering)
for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Protect overload
status). While activating protect overload status, the assist
torque gradually decreases, and the steering wheel turning force
becomes heavy. The normal assist torque reactivates by not
steering.

In case of an error in the electrical system, the fail-safe function stops output signals to the EPS motor.
Then the previous state is changed to the manual steering state.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.
EPS MOTOR
EPS motor provides the assist torque by control signal from EPS control unit.
TORQUE SENSOR
Torque sensor detects the steering torque, and transmit the signal to
EPS control unit.
REDUCTION GEAR
Reduction gear increases the assist torque provided from EPS motor with worm gears, and outputs to the col-
umn shaft.
EPS WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in EPS system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and enters a
manual steering state (Control turning force steering wheel becomes heavy).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF after the engine starts
if system is normal.
