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

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

NLST0001

The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL V10 is as follows (The composition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.): ¼ For a frontal collision The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable. ¼ For a side collision The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision). Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual. WARNING: ¼ 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 should be performed by an authorized NISSAN dealer. ¼ 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 RS section. ¼ Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

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. Place disassembled parts in order, on a parts rack, for easier and proper assembly. 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 power steering fluid* to hydraulic parts. Vaseline 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 installation. Perform functional tests whenever designated. *: DEXRONTMIII or equivalent. Refer to MA-20, "Fluids and Lubricants".

Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration. 1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm. Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80°C (140 to 176°F). 2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times. 3. Hold steering wheel at each "lock" position for five seconds and carefully check for fluid leakage. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more than 15 seconds. 4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector. 5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check power steering pump. Refer to ST-21. 6. Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.

Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Then quickly turn steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stoppers. Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer decreases. 3. Start engine. Repeat step 2. above. ¼ Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When this happens, bleed air again. a) Air bubbles in reservoir tank b) Clicking noise in oil pump c) Excessive buzzing in oil pump 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 the performance or durability of the system.

Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force

Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake. Start engine. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 60 to 80°C (140 to 176°F).] Tires need to be inflated to normal pressure. 4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position. Steering wheel turning force: 26 - 32 N (2.7 - 3.3 kg, 5.8 - 7.2 lb) 5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check rack sliding force. a. Disconnect steering column lower joint and knuckle arms from the gear. b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature. c. Pull tie-rod slowly to move it from neutral position to ±11.5 mm (±0.453 in) at speed of 3.5 mm (0.138 in)/s. Check that rack sliding force is within specification. Average rack sliding force: 197 - 255 N (20.1 - 26.0 kg, 44.3 - 57.3 lb) 6. If rack sliding force is not within specification, replace steering gear assembly. 7. If rack sliding force is OK, inspect steering column. Refer to ST-13.

Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure. 1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to "Bleeding Hydraulic System", ST-8. 2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm. Make sure temperature of fluid in tank rises to 60 to 80°C (140 to 176°F). WARNING: Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is started with shut-off valve closed, fluid pressure in oil pump increases to maximum. This will raise oil temperature abnormally. 3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more than 15 seconds. Oil pump maximum standard pressure: QG engine 8,100 - 8,700 kPa (81 - 87 bar, 82.6 - 88.7 kg/cm2, 1,175 - 1,262 psi) YD engine 8,520 - 9,320 kPa (85.2 - 93.2 bar, 86.9 - 95.1 kg/cm2, 1,235 - 1,351 psi) ¼ If pressure reaches maximum operating pressure, system is OK. ¼ If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure, check power steering pump flow control valve. Refer to ST-21. 4. If power steering pressure is below the maximum operating pressure, slowly close shut-off valve and check pressure again. CAUTION: Do not close shut-off valve for more than 15 seconds. ¼ If pressure increases to maximum operating pressure, gear is damaged. Refer to "Removal and Installation", ST-16. ¼ If pressure remains below maximum operating pressure, pump is damaged. Refer to "Disassembly", ST-23. 5. After checking hydraulic system, remove Tool and add fluid as necessary. Then completely bleed air out of system. Refer to ST-8.
