 PRECAUTION

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR

BAG" (Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System" Air Bag", used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint
System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instrument
panel on the passenger side), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
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 dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

Precautions for SRS "Air Bag" and "Seat Belt

Pre-tensioner" Service
• Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuits.
• Before servicing the SRS. turn ignition switch "OFF", disconnect both battery cables and wait for at
least 10 minutes.
For approximately 10 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag to
deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 10 minutes have passed.
• For single air bag system, do not separate diagnosis sensor unit from steering wheel.
• For dual air bag system. diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks "Q"
pointing towards the front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for
cracks. deformities or rust before installation 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 it with the pad side facing upward.
• Do not use old bolts after removing any SRS parts; replace with new ones. Conduct self-diagnosis
to check entire SRS for proper function.
• For dual air bag system, instrument panel assembly should be replaced after air bag inflates.

7. Release string to allow the pre-tensioner to hit the ground.

Pre-tensioner will now deploy.
• The pre-tensioner cylinder is too hot to touch immediately
after deployment; therefore, wait at least 10 minutes until it
cools down.
• Although the gas which is discharged during deployment is
harmless, avoid inhaling as it can cause some discomfort.
8. Before disposing of pre-tensioner, re-check that it has prop-
erly deployed. If it has not, repeat steps 3 through 7 above.
• A pre-tensioner deploying can be amply heard even at a
SRS083 distance of 5 m (16 ft).
• After pre-tensioner has deployed, the rubber cap is sepa-
rated from cylinder head by gas generated during deploy-
ment.

•
• Move screwdriver or similar ferrous metal close to the mag-
net built into the rear of sensor case. If it is attracted, pre-
tensioner has not deployed yet; if it is not attracted, pre-
tensioner has already been deployed.
CAUTION:
Be extremely careful not to apply any impacts to the pre-ten-
sioner until you are absolutely sure pre-tensioner has been

How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick

and Accurate Repair
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the
symptoms or conditions for a customer complaint.

INFORMATION FROM CUSTOMER

WHAT Vehicle model
WHEN Date, Frequencies
WHERE Road conditions
HOW Operating conditions, Symptoms

PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check that the following parts are in good" order.
• Battery [Refer to MA section ("GENERAL MAINTENANCE").]
• Fuse [Refer to EL section ("Fuse", "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING").]
• System component-to-harness connections

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using "AIR BAG" warning lamp and/or CONSULT.

USING WARNING LAMP

USING CONSULT
User mode Diagnosis mode

Dual air bag system X X X

Single air bag system X

Seat belt pre-tensioner

The reading 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 sys-
tem malfunction 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 are as follows:

•
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type

"AIR BAG" warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation

CONSULT X Monitoring

Seat belt pre-tensioner can not be diagnosed by using warning lamp and/or CONSULT. When seat belt
pre-tensioner is requires servicing, visually check seat belt pre-tensioner assembly. If damaged, replace
with a new one.

DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT (For Dual Air Bag System)

• SELF-DIAG RESULTS
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diag-
nosis mode) is displayed on the CONSULT screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part
requiring repairs.
