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

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 SRS AIRBAG and SEAT BELTS article of this Service Information.

WARNINGTo 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 SRS AIRBAG . Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Information. 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

WARNINGWhen working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Ignition 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 three minutes before performing any service.

ODO/TRIP METER

The combination meter calculates mileage using the vehicle speed signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and displays the mileage on the information display.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.

The ECM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

FUEL GAUGE

Control Outline

The fuel level sensor unit sends a variable resistor signal to the combination meter. The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.

Refuel Control

The unit detects the driver is refueling the vehicle and accelerates the fuel gauge segment movement if the fuel level changes by 9 l (2-3/8 US, 2 lmp gal) or more.

Lighting segment-resistance relationship

INTERRUPT INDICATION

Low Fuel Warning

The low fuel warning turns ON when the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches approximately 7.8 l (2-1/8 US gal, 1-3/4 Imp gal).

LOOSE FUEL CAP WARNING

The LOOSE FUEL CAP message will display in the information display when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly. The message will turn off as soon as the ECM detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened. The ECM provides a loose fuel cap signal to the combination meter via CAN communication lines.

W/L ON HISTORY

  1. Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
  2. "W/L ON HISTORY" indicates the "TIME" when the warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
  3. The "TIME" above is: 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds. 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition. NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.

Note. W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts. Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets low.
