PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000004212451

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.

Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000004501288

NOTE:

• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both 12-volt battery cables.

• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both 12-

volt battery cables.

• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.

This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.

If the 12-volt battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.

If turning the steering wheel is required with the 12-volt battery disconnected or discharged, follow the proce-

dure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

1. Connect both 12-volt battery cables.

NOTE:

Supply power using jumper cables if 12-volt battery is discharged.

2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.

(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both 12-volt battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both 12-volt battery

cables disconnected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both 12-volt battery cables. With the brake pedal released,

turn the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steer-

ing wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

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

Service Notice or Precautions

INFOID:0000000004212452

• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires

on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and

mats are in designated positions.

• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

FSU-4

< PRECAUTION >

PRECAUTIONS

• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,

tighten as they are.

Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000004212455

INSPECTION

Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions

(wear, damage) are normal.

LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY

1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between upper link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down. Refer to 

FSU-15, "Ball Joint"

.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying

excessive force.

SHOCK ABSORBER

Check for oil leakage, damage and replace if malfunction is detected.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Description

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. 

NOTE:

"Unladen conditions" means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and

mats are in designated positions.

General Information and Recommendations

• A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.

- This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.

- The four-wheel "thrust" process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is

centered.

- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.

- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

• Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.

- Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.

- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-

ule.

Preliminary Check

Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to 

WT-66, "Road Wheel"

.

3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to 

FAX-6, "Inspection"

.

4. Transverse link ball joint axial end play. Refer to 

FSU-15, "Ball Joint"

.

5. Shock absorber operation.
6. Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Each of suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deformation and

other damage.

8. Vehicle height (posture).

 Alignment Process

IMPORTANT:

Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.

• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use "indicators" Do not use these indi-

cators.: (Green/red, plus or minus, Go/No Go). 

- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-

rect.
