SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000007330568
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 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 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 section.
• 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 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

the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT.

Component Parts and Harness Connector Location INFOID:0000000007330570
System Description INFOID:0000000007330571
Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body control module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting and turn signal switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM
receives an input signal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. The BCM sends a signal, via the
CAN communication lines, to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) requesting the
headlamps be turned ON. The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls ground for the

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67
• to combination meter terminals 21, 22 and 23
• through grounds M57 and M61, and
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59
• through grounds E15 and E24.
HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives an input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. The BCM then sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the IPDM E/R requesting the low
beam headlamps be turned ON. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls ground to the headlamp low relay
coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to headlamp RH terminal 3, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to headlamp LH terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminals 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and high beam switch in the HIGH position, the BCM receives an input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and
