PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000001612915

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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” 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/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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.

• 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:0000000001612935

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of Engine and A/T

INFOID:0000000001325891

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 cable 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-lock-

ing type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to 

PG-68

.

• 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 EVAP 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.

PRECAUTIONS

Precaution

INFOID:0000000001325892

• Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
• Do not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is

running.

• Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness con-

nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative bat-
tery cable. Failure to do so may damage the ECM because
battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition switch is
turned OFF.

• Before removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then dis-

connect negative battery cable.

• Do not disassemble ECM.
• If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to

the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary slightly when the terminal is dis-
connected. However, this is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion. Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.

• If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-related

diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.

Diagnostic trouble codes
1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
Freeze frame data
1st trip freeze frame data
System readiness test (SRT) codes
Test values
• When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it securely

with a lever as far as it will go as shown in the figure.

• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or

from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM pin
terminal, when connecting pin connectors.

• Securely connect ECM harness connectors.

A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge) volt-
age to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in dam-
age to ICs.

• Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in) away

from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control system mal-
functions due to receiving external noise, degraded operation
of ICs, etc.

• Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.

• Before replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-

ence Value” inspection and make sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to 

EC-109, "ECM Terminal and Reference Value"

.

• Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
• Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
• Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of detergent.
• Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
• Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause serious

incidents.

• Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),

crankshaft position sensor (POS).

• After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform DTC

Confirmation Procedure or Overall Function Check.
The DTC should not be displayed in the DTC Confirmation
Procedure if the repair is completed. The Overall Function
Check should be a good result if the repair is completed.

• When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never allow

the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.

• Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/out-

put voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's tran-
sistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the
ground.

PRECAUTIONS

• B1 indicates the bank 1, B2 indicates the bank 2 as shown in

the figure.

• Do not operate fuel pump when there is no fuel in lines.
• Tighten fuel hose clamps to the specified torque.

• Do not depress accelerator pedal when starting.
• Immediately after starting, do not rev up engine unnecessar-

ily.

• Do not rev up engine just prior to shutdown.

• When installing C.B. ham radio or a mobile phone, be sure to

observe the following as it may adversely affect electronic
control systems depending on installation location.

Keep the antenna as far as possible from the electronic con-

trol units.

Keep the antenna feeder line more than 20 cm (8 in) away

from the harness of electronic controls.
Do not let them run parallel for a long distance.

Adjust the antenna and feeder line so that the standing-wave

radio can be kept smaller.

Be sure to ground the radio to vehicle body.
