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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” 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 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.
Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal
-
When disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, turn off the ACC power before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, observing “How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” described below.
NOTE:
Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition switch is turned OFF and ignition power supply is stopped. If the battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC detection or ECU data damage may occur.
-
For Nissan Armada vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be detected.
-
After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.
NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
HOW TO DISCONNECT 12V BATTERY TERMINAL
Disconnect 12V battery terminal according to instruction described below.
-
Open the hood.
-
Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
-
Turn ignition switch to the OFF position with the driver side door opened.
-
Get out of the vehicle and close the driver side door.
-
Wait at least 3 minutes. For vehicle with the engine listed below, remove the battery terminal after a lapse of the specified time.
BR08DE : 4 minutes R9N engine : 12 minutes BR10DE : 12 minutes V9X engine : 4 minutes D4D engine : 20 minutes YD25DDTi : 2 minutes HR09DET : 12 minutes YS23DDT : 4 minutes HR10DDT : 12 minutes YS23DDTT : 4 minutes HR10DET : 12 minutes ZD30DDTi : 60 seconds HR13DDT : 12 minutes ZD30DDTT : 60 seconds HRA2DDT : 12 minutes K9K engine : 4 minutes M9R engine : 4 minutes R9M engine : 4 minutes CAUTION:
While waiting, never operate the vehicle such as locking, opening, and closing doors. Violation of this caution results in the activation of ACC power supply according to the Auto ACC function.
-
Remove 12V battery terminal.
CAUTION:
After installing 12V battery, always check self-diagnosis results of all ECUs and erase DTC.
Precautions for Harness Repair
-
Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area.
NOTE:
A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).
-
Bypass connection is never allowed at the repaired area.
NOTE:
Bypass connection may cause CAN communication error. The spliced wire becomes separated and the characteristics of twisted line are lost.
-
Replace the applicable harness as an assembly if error is detected on the shield lines of CAN communication line.
Precaution for Chassis Control
-
Never disassemble the chassis control module.
-
The parts must not be reused if they are dropped.
-
Never perform "Active Test" while driving the vehicle.
-
When the intelligent trace control function is activated, the driver may feel some vibration on the brake pedal, hear operating sounds, or feel the deceleration. This is not a malfunction, as it is caused by the normal operation of the intelligent trace control function.
-
When the intelligent trace control function is activated, engine sound becomes loud or the tachometer needle fluctuates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by intelligent trace control function that is normally operated.
-
The intelligent trace control function is not always activated in all driving conditions.
