PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007577729

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 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, 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice 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 working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, never 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.
Service Notice or Precautions for Steering System INFOID:0000000007577730

• In case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle
condition, and then check wheel alignment.
• Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
- 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.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
- Never reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.
• During quick steering, rasping noise may be heard from around the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.
The noise is an operating noise of the EPS system under normal conditions. If the rasping noise occurs dur-
ing slow steering, this may not be an operating noise of the system. In this case, it is necessary to find out
the location of the noise and repair, if necessary.
• Never repeat static steering. (Motor and EPS control unit could be heated.)

STEERING WHEEL
Inspection INFOID:0000000007577733

NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL

1. Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
2. Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Inspection".
3. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
4. Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Tires need to be inflated normal pressure. Refer to WT-50, "Tire Air Pressure".
3. Start engine.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360° from neutral position.

Steering wheel turning : Refer to ST-19, "Steering

force Wheel".

L : 185 mm (7.28 in)

NOTE:
Multiply the distance from the hook of spring balance to the cen-
ter of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring JSGIA0027ZZ
balance.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
1. Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Refer to FSU-6, "Inspection".
2. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on
stands, so that vehicle can be level.
3. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.

FAA0016D

4. With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to
full right stop and measure the turning angles.

Inner wheel (Angle: A) : Refer to ST-19, "Steering

Angle".
Outer wheel (Angle: B) : Refer to ST-19, "Steering
Angle".

5. Check the following items when turning angle is out of the stan-
dard. A
a. Check rack stroke (L).

Rack stroke neutral position (L) : Refer to ST-19, B

"Steering Gear and
Linkage".
b. If rack stroke is out of specification, replace steering gear C
assembly.
• Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear JSGIA0272ZZ
assembly, steering column assembly, and front suspension D
components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value.
Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.

(Measuring point of inner socket: “*” mark shown in the

figure)
: Refer to ST-19, "Steering Gear and Linkage".

BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY

• Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) to ball stud. Using a
dial gauge, measure amount of stud movement, and then make
sure that the value is within the following specified range. Replace
outer socket (1) steering gear assembly (inner socket) (2) if the
measured value is outside the standard.

Outer socket : Refer to ST-19, "Steering Gear and Link-

age".
Inner socket : Refer to ST-19, "Steering Gear and Link-
age".

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
• Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-7, "Inspection".
• Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-56, "Work Procedure".
