Trang 2Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 SRS 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 formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
per-● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SRS section.
per-● 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 harness connec- tors.
● 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 cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with their operation.
● Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent.
● Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended Genuine NISSAN PSF II or equivalent to hydraulic parts Petroleum jelly may be applied to O-rings and seals Do not use any grease.
● Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during tion Perform functional tests whenever designated.

Trang 6POWER STEERING FLUID
Check fluid level, referring to the scale on reservoir tank
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
dam-age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration
carefully check for fluid leakage
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector

fluid reservoir tank to the specified level Then quickly turn the
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering
stoppers Repeat steering wheel operation until the fluid level no
longer decreases
If this happens, bleed out the air repeating step 2 above Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump This
is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the steering wheel slowly This does not affect theperformance or durability of the system

sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.5 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top
CAUTION:
The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the cable is installed in an improper position Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number of turns (The spiral cable can be turned up to 2.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right and left.)
Trang 9● The rotation of the spiral cable (SRS air bag component part) is limited If the steering gear must
be removed, set the front wheels in the straight-ahead direction Do not rotate the steering column while the steering gear is removed.
● Remove the steering wheel before disconnecting the coupling joint to avoid damaging the spiral cable.

CAUTION:
● Do not exert any load or impact in the axial direction

● After installation check for smooth steering wheel rotation,
without any catches or noise.
