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 collisions.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” sections of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
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, it is recommended that all maintenance and repair be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper repair, 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
Never 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 harness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
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/power switch 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 serious injury.
When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Check each tire for proper air pressure and size. Refer to Tire Air Pressure.
Verify that the steering system components are genuine NISSAN parts and have been installed properly.
Check the steering column for loose mounting bolts.
Check the steering gear assembly for loose mounting bolts. Check the inner sockets and outer sockets for damage or wear. Inspect the boots and seals for leakage of power steering fluid.
Verify proper wheel alignment. Refer to Inspection.
Check for any damage, wear, or modification to the suspension and body that would result in increased weight or an improper wheelarch height. Refer to Wheelarch Height (Unladen).
Check for proper battery voltage.
Verify that all power steering pump assembly connections are clean and fully seated.
Verify that only genuine NISSAN E-PSF is used. Use of any power steering fluid other than genuine NISSAN E-PSF will prevent the power steering system from proper operation.
An audible high pitch noise may be heard from the engine compartment when the steering wheel is operated, particularly at low speeds such as a parking lot maneuver. This condition is not a malfunction, rather normal system operation. Steering at low speeds or parking lot maneuvers demands higher hydraulic assistance, resulting in larger power steering pump load and increased system noise.
The power steering pump is electrically controlled by the power steering control module.
Before connecting or disconnecting the power steering control module harness connectors, place the ignition in the “OFF” position and disconnect battery ground cable. Battery voltage is applied to power steering control module even if ignition is in the “OFF” position.
