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

INFOID:0000000009269770

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 SR 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 SR 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

battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000009269771

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover

the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to

windshield.

Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)

INFOID:0000000009269773

WARNING:

• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants

are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to 

HA-3, "Precaution for Working with HFC-

134a (R-134a)"

. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use

Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If

oil other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.

• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following

handling precautions must be observed:

- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to

minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.

- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just

before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible

to minimize the entry of moisture into system.

- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without

proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.

- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.

Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system using certified service equipment meeting require-

ments of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recy-

cling equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming

service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufac-

turers.

- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:

• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into

the atmosphere.

• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant

supply.

• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may

have occurred.

• If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-

ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does

not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-

vice. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition,

replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

• If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN Cus-

tomer Affairs for further assistance.

The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the

specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of

the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-

uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.

This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-

uuming) and hose is connected to it.

To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the

hose-to-pump connection, as follows.

• Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.

• For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a manual

shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate the

hose from the pump.

• If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose

from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the valve is open

and lubricating oil may migrate.

Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close

under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's

ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET

Be certain that the gauge face indicates R-134a or 134a. Make sure

the gauge set has 1/2

″-16 ACME threaded connections for service

hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant HFC-

134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.

SERVICE HOSES

Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described

(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-

off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses

opposite the manifold gauge.

< PRECAUTION >

[MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING]

PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a

CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will

not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an

improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination

may occur.

WEIGHT SCALE

Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-

fied oils have been used with the weight scale. If the weight scale

controls refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2”-

16 ACME.

CHARGING CYLINDER

Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder's top valve

when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an

electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
