 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007747572

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. 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. D
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: E
• 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.
F
• 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 STC
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 H
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 I
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 J
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for EPS System INFOID:0000000007207857

K
• 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.
L
- 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.). M
- 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.
N
- 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 O
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”. P

Revision: July 2011 STC-3 2012 Versa Sedan

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >

- When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or from

EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
- When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.
• 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 during 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.

EPS SYSTEM : Fail-Safe INFOID:0000000007207865

• If any malfunction occurs in the system and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp in com-
bination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
• When EPS warning lamp is ON, the system enters into a manual steering state. (Steering wheel turning
force becomes heavy.)
• Under abnormal vehicle speed signal conditions, vehicle speed is judged as constant.
EPS SYSTEM : Protection Function INFOID:0000000007207866

EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS motor while extremely using the power steering function
(e.g., full steering) consecutively for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection control).
While activating overload protection control, the assist torque gradually decreases, and the steering wheel
turning force becomes heavy. The normal assist torque reactivates by no steering.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul- B
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring. C
Each control unit communicate data but selectively reads required data only.
