PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000009465764

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.

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

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion ON or engine running, DO NOT 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.

Service Notice or Precautions

INFOID:0000000009465765

• In case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle

condition, and then check wheel alignment.

• Observe the following precautions when disassembling.

- Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.

- Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming

contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.

- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with

their operation.

- Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

POWER STEERING FLUID

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009465768

FLUID LEVEL

• Check fluid level with engine stopped.

• Make sure that fluid level is between MIN and MAX.

• Fluid levels at HOT (A) and COLD (B) are different. Do not confuse

them.

CAUTION:

• The fluid level should not exceed the MAX line. Excessive

fluid will cause fluid leakage from the cap.

• Do not reuse drained power steering fluid.

• Recommended fluid is Genuine Nissan PSF or equivalent.

FLUID LEAKAGE

Check hydraulic connections for fluid leakage, cracks, damage,

looseness, or wear.
1. Run engine until the fluid temperature reaches 50 - 80

° C (122 -

176

°F) in reservoir tank, and keep engine speed at idle.

2. Turn steering wheel several times from full left stop to full right

stop.

3. Hold steering wheel at each lock position for five seconds and

carefully, check for fluid leakage.

CAUTION:

Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more

than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may

be damaged.)

4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not overtighten con-

nector as this can damage O-ring, copper sealing washers and connector.

5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to 

ST-28, "Removal and Installation"

.

6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating leakage from steering gear.

Draining

INFOID:0000000009465769

1. Disconnect both high and low pressure lines from power steering gear.
2. Drain into a suitable container.

Refilling

INFOID:0000000009465770

FILLING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1. Fill power steering reservoir while checking fluid level.
2. Bleed air from hydraulic system.
3. Check for fluid leaks.

AIR BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

If air bleeding is not complete, the following symptoms can be observed.

• Bubbles are created in reservoir tank.

• Clicking noise can be heard from oil pump.

• Excessive buzzing in the oil pump.

NOTE:

Fluid noise may occur in the steering gear or oil pump. This does not affect performance or durability of the

system.

HOT (A)

: Fluid temperature 50 - 80 

°C (122- 176°F)

COLD (B)

: Fluid temperature 0 - 30

°C (32- 86°F)
