PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000004201780

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 Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000004201781

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover

the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000004201782

NOTE:

• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI

VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

• 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 NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock

mechanism 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.

TM-234

< PRECAUTION >

[CVT: RE0F09B]

PRECAUTIONS

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.
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.)

6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III. 

Precaution for On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine

INFOID:0000000004201783

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 battery cable from the negative 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 an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,

dirt, bent terminals, etc.)

• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a

bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a 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 a malfunction of the EVAP system or fuel injection system, etc.

• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and

ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

Precaution for TCM and CVT Assembly Replacement

INFOID:0000000004201784

CAUTION:

• Check if new data (Unit ID) are entered correctly after replacing CVT assembly and erasing data in

TCM. (Connect CONSULT-III, and then turn ignition switch OFF.)

• When replacing CVT assembly or TCM, refer to the pattern table below and erase the EEPROM in the

TCM if necessary.

Rotate bayonet ring counterclockwise, pull out CVT unit harness

connector upward and remove it.

INSTALLATION

1. Align CVT unit harness connector terminal body marking with

bayonet ring marking, insert CVT unit harness connector, and

then rotate bayonet ring clockwise.

2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until CVT unit harness connector

terminal body marking is aligned with the bayonet ring marking

(linear slit) as shown.

CAUTION:

• Securely align 

∆ marking on CVT unit harness connector

terminal body with bayonet ring slit. Then, be careful not

to make a half fit condition as shown.

• Do not mistake the slit of bayonet ring for other dent por-

tion.
