Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005501533

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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 SR 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 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 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.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005260300

NOTE:
This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
LOCK position.
Always use CONSULT-III 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.

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
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.) A
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

CAUTION:
Before removal and installation, the adjustable accelerator and brake pedals must be in the front-
most position, if equipped. This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake pedals.
Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal assembly. J
Do not remove the accelerator pedal position sensor from the accelerator pedal bracket.
Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal adjusting mechanism.
Avoid damage from dropping the accelerator pedal assembly during handling. K
Keep the accelerator pedal assembly away from water.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check that the accelerator pedal moves smoothly within the speci-
fied range.

Accelerator pedal - total pedal : 48 mm (1.89 in)

applied stroke (A)
Check that the accelerator pedal smoothly returns to the original
position.
Perform an electrical inspection of the accelerator pedal position
sensor. Refer to EC-384, "Component Inspection" (VQ40DE), EC-
860, "Component Inspection" (VK56DE).
