Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) AIR
BAG and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER
NGEC0523
The supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAG and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the
steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, a crash zone sensor (4WD models), warning lamp, wiring har-
ness and spiral cable.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS 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 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 RS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses (except SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER) cov-
ered with yellow insulation either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness
are related to the SRS.
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System of Engine and A/T
NGEC0524
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc.
will cause the MIL to light up.
Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL section,
Description, HARNESS CONNECTOR.
Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness with
a bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to the short circuit.
Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to the malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system,
etc.
Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
