PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000008956781

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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: D
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 E
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
F
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. STC
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING: H
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 I
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. J
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000008956782

K
CAUTION:
Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-
THEFT SYSTEM). L
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position.
• Always use CONSULT to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing M
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism 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 N
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. O
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE: P
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
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.

STC-3
 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
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.
Precautions for Removing of Battery Terminal INFOID:0000000009863179

• When removing the 12V battery terminal, turn OFF the ignition switch and wait at least 30 seconds.
NOTE:
ECU may be active for several tens of seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal
is removed before ECU stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may occur.
• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery 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 discon-
nected, 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.
Service Notice and Precautions for EPS System INFOID:0000000008830635

• Check the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis.

- Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it′s condition from the customer if any malfunc-
tion, such as EPS warning lamp is turned ON, occurs.
- Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel, and con-
trol unit is genuine part.
- Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is not
looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc.).
- Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.
- Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or altered
ground clearance.
- Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
- Check if the battery voltage is proper.
- Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
- Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control unit harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and
disconnect battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to EPS control unit even if ignition
switch is turned “OFF”.
• During quick steering, rasping noise may be heard from around the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.
The noise is an operating noise of the EPS system under normal conditions. If the rasping noise occurs dur-
ing slow steering, this may not be an operating noise of the system. In this case, it is necessary to find out
the location of the noise and repair, if necessary.
