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

INFOID:0000000010503406

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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision that 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with
a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the

battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal

INFOID:0000000010503407

• With the adoption of Auto ACC function, ACC power is automatically supplied by operating the intelligent key

or remote keyless entry or by opening/closing the driver side door. In addition, ACC power is supplied even
after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, i.e. ACC power is supplied for a certain fixed time.

• When disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, turn off the ACC

power before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, observing
“How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” described below.
NOTE:
Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition
switch is turned OFF and ignition power supply is stopped. If the
battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC
detection or ECU data damage may occur.

• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main bat-

tery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of
main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be detected.

• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.

NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.

HOW TO DISCONNECT 12V BATTERY TERMINAL

Disconnect 12V battery terminal according to Instruction 1 or Instruction 2 described below.
For vehicles parked by ignition switch OFF, refer to Instruction 2.

INSTRUCTION 1

Open the hood.

this caution results in the activation of ACC power supply according to the Auto ACC function.

Remove 12V battery terminal.

CAUTION:

After installing 12V battery, always check self-diagnosis results of all ECUs and erase DTC.

INSTRUCTION 2 (FOR VEHICLES PARKED BY IGNITION SWITCH OFF)

Unlock the door with intelligent key or remote keyless entry.
NOTE:
At this moment, ACC power is supplied.

Open the driver side door.

Open the hood.

Close the driver side door.

Wait at least 3 minutes.

CAUTION:

While waiting, never operate the vehicle such as locking, opening, and closing doors. Violation of
this caution results in the activation of ACC power supply according to the Auto ACC function.

Remove 12V battery terminal.

CAUTION:

After installing 12V battery, always check self-diagnosis results of all ECUs and erase DTC.

OUTLINE

• Semiconductor device (Light emitting diode: LED), which is illuminated when forward bias electric voltage is

applied, is adopted as the source of light instead of halogen bulb or xenon bulb.

• Comparing to halogen headlamp or xenon headlamp, LED headlamp is electrically power saving, durable,

and is illuminated in the similar color to the sunlight. Bright, natural, and eye-friendly visibility can be
obtained.

PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Representative malfunction examples are; “Light does not turn ON”, “Light blinks”, and “Brightness is inade-
quate.” Such malfunctions, however, occasionally by occur LED control module malfunction or lamp case mal-
function. Specify the malfunctioning part with diagnosis procedure.

CAUTION:

• Never touch the harness, LED headlamp control module, the inside and metal part of lamp when

turning the headlamp ON or operating the lighting switch, for preventing electrical shock.

EXL

• Never work with wet hands, for preventing electrical shock.
• Never perform LED headlamp control module circuit diagnosis with a circuit tester or an equivalent.
• Temporarily install the headlamps on the vehicle. Always connect power supply to the connector

(vehicle side) when checking ON/OFF status.

• Disconnect the battery negative terminal before disconnecting the lamp socket connector or the har-

ness connector.

• Check for fusing of the fusible link(s), open around connector, short, disconnection if the symptom

is caused by electric error.

• Always check for deformation or hole of headlamp housing and engagement of bulb cover. Other-

wise, water may enter into headlamp because of damage of headlamp housing and contact to LED
headlamp control module connector. The normal operation may be inhibited when short circuit to
power supply is detected.

NOTE:
Turn the switch OFF once before turning ON, if the ON/OFF is inoperative.

level (tunnel detection) and sensor conditions it judges ON/OFF
condition for exterior lamps.

• And it transmits exterior lamp ON/OFF request to the BCM by the

light & rain sensor serial link.

• BCM controls each function depending on the signals. And it

detects the light & rain sensor serial link error and the light & rain
sensor malfunction.
