PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EHS000PP
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 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 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 for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” Service
EHS000JE
● Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
● Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch “OFF”, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, 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 3 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 check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.
● The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or 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 front side air bag module 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 front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

The air bag deploys if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS sys-
tems. For example, the driver air bag module and front passenger air bag module are activated in a frontal col-
lision but not in a side collision.
SRS configurations which are activated for some collision modes are as follows;
SRS configuration Frontal collision Left side collision Right side collision
Driver air bag module X — —
Front passenger air bag module X — —
Front LH seat belt pre-tensioner X — —
Front RH seat belt pre-tensioner X — —
Front LH side air bag module — X —
Front RH side air bag module — — X
A
The front seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed
to both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal
collision with an impact exceeding a specified level. B
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level
occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is
immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers are C
securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the D
SRS444
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat belt
web tension while maintaining force.

CAUTION:
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this B
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connec-
tors.
● Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged, C
replace it with a new one.
● Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION D
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-II. The read-
ing of these results is accomplished using one of two modes — “User mode” and “Diagnosis mode”.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal- E
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as follows:
F
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type
“AIR BAG” warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation
CONSULT-II — X Monitoring G
SRS
SRS803
SRS804

SRS701
Without CONSULT-II G
After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition “OFF” for at least one second, then back “ON”. Diagnosis
mode returns to the User mode. At that time, the self-diagnostic result is cleared.
SRS
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
AIR BAG diagnostic mode Description
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
SELF-DIAG [CURRENT] mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requir-
ing repairs.
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The
SELF-DIAG [PAST]
stored results will remain until memory erasing is executed.
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
TROUBLE DIAG RECORD
played on the CONSULT-II screen.
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model
is assigned with its own, individual classification
number. This number will be displayed on the
CONSULT-II screen, as shown. When replacing
the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number
for the compatibility. After installation, replacement
ECU DISCRIMINATED NO. with a correct unit can be checked by confirming
this classification number on the CONSULT-II
screen.
For NISSAN MODEL B15, the diagnosis sensor
unit discriminated numbers assigned are A616
(for models with side air bags) and A615 (for
ARS366
models without side air bags).

To repair the SRS for a side collision, perform the following steps.
When the side air bag is activated in the side collision:
1. Replace the following components:
– Front seatback assembly (on the side on which side air bag is activated)
– Diagnosis sensor unit
– (LH and RH) side air bag (satellite) sensors
2. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.
– Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II and “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "SRS Opera-
tion Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in the side collision:
1. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.
– If the front seatback assembly is damaged, the front seatback assembly must be replaced.
