Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000001404297
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 SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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.
Precaution for SRS "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" Service
INFOID:0000000001404298
• Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
• Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have
passed.
• The air bag diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the arrow mark “⇐” pointing toward the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check air bag diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust
before installation and replace as required.
• The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
• Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing down.
• Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
• After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

DISPOSAL OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER
Caution for Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner INFOID:0000000001404296
• Before disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, or vehicles equipped with such systems,
deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of them as
indicated in Disposing of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner.
• When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner,always use the Special Service Tool; Deploy-
ment tool (SST: KV99106400).
• When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner,stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the
deployment component.
• When deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a fairlyloud noise is made, followed by smoke
being released. The smoke is not poisonous,however, be careful not to inhale smoke since it irritates the
throat and can cause choking.
• Always activate one air bag module at a time.
• Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat
belt pre-tensioner unattended for more than 10 minutes after deployment.
• Wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
• Never apply water to the deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
• Wash your hands after finishing work.
• Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m (20 ft) on all sides when deploying air bag
module and seat belt pre-tensioner while mounted in vehicle.
• Use a volt meter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
• Do not dispose of the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner undeployed.
CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOL
Connecting to Battery
CAUTION:
The battery must show voltage of 9.6 V or more.
Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood blocks
approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.
• Wait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before pro-
ceeding.
• Connect red clip of deployment tool (A) to battery positive terminal
and black clip to negative terminal.
Check that the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the
tool, marked “deployment tool power”, should glow with a
green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the connec-
tions to the battery.
