SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and
"SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000004783745

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 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 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.
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors
with the Ignition
ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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 3 minutes before performing any service.

and cracks. Using a pair of vernier calipers, measure the inside
diameter of the drum.
CAUTION:
If necessary, remove the parking brake shoe and check as follows.
Check the shoe sliding surface for abnormal wear and damage.
Check the anchor pin for abnormal wear and corrosion.
Check the return springs for sagging.
Check the adjuster for rough operation.

INSTALLATION
