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.
Precaution for Power Generation Variable Voltage Control System INFOID:0000000003110121
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the
charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical com-
ponent is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that compo-
nent will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of
the engine control system and battery discharge may occur. Do not connect an electrical component
or ground wire directly to the battery terminal.

2.DISABLE THE POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Disable the power generation voltage variable control with either of the following procedures.
• After selecting “ENGINE” on the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen of CONSULT-III, set the “ALTERNATOR DUTY” D
value to 0 % by selecting “ALTERNATOR DUTY” with “Active Test”. Continue “Active Test” until the end of
inspection. (When the DUTY value is 0 or 100 %, the normal power generation is performed according to the
characteristic of the IC regulator of the generator.) E
• Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery current sensor connector and leave it disconnected dur-
ing the course of the test.
NOTE:
Running the engine with the battery current sensor disconnected will cause DTC's (P1550-P1554) to set. F
After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic
results history of the engine using CONSULT-III.

Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator,
engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE:
When any malfunction is detected in the power generation variable voltage control system, power generation
is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator in the generator.

CAUTION:
When performing this inspection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery inspec-
tion. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage change will
become slow. This can cause an incorrect inspection.)
