Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000009468596

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. 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.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR 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 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 Instruction. 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

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

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

battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Seat Belt Service

INFOID:0000000009468597

CAUTION:

• Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect

both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.

• Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.

• After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat belt

pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to

SRC-12, "SRS Operation Check"

.

• Do not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.

• Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.

• Do not oil tongue and buckle.

• If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt

assembly.

• If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.

• When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.

AFTER A COLLISION

WARNING:

Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.

NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced

unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Fail-

ure to do so could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-

ing a collision should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-

tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which

the air bags are deployed.

Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:

• The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and

buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).

• The seat belt was damaged in an accident (i.e., torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).

• The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage

or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.

• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.

• The seat belt pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in

which the air bags are deployed.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:

1. Switch ignition ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime

should sound for about six seconds.

2. Fasten driver's seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should

stop.

2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT, and air bag warning lamp.

Refer to

SRC-12, "SRS Operation Check"

.

3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Make sure guide

swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Make sure height adjuster operates

properly and holds securely.

5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Make sure that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If

the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Dirt built up in

the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.

c. Fasten the seat belt. Check that the seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the web-

bing does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT

TAPE SET” and perform the following steps.

i.

Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.

ii.

Use a clip or other device to hold the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening.

iii. Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it taut

while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove any matter stuck

there.

iv. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean cloth.
v.

Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.

NOTE:

Apply the tape so that there is no looseness or wrinkling.

vi. Remove the clip holding the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.
6. Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat belts.
