PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000006275847
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:
• 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 the “SRS AIR BAG”.
• 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 Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition 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.

Component Description
Ambient sensor
Ambient sensor measures ambient air temperature. The sensor uses a
thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical
resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
AV control unit
AV control unit transmits front A/C control operation signal to A/C auto amp.
via CAN communication line.
A/C auto amp.
A/C auto amp. controls front automatic air conditioning system by inputting
and calculating signals from each sensor and each switch. A/C auto amp.
has self-diagnosis function. Diagnosis of front automatic air conditioning
system can be performed quickly.
Blower unit
Front blower motor Refer to HAC-12 .
Intake door motor
The LCU (Local Control Unit) is installed to intake door motor so as to per-
form the multiplex communication control (LIN).
Refer to HAC-18, " FRONT AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM :
Door Control " .
Combination meter
Combination meter transmits vehicle speed signal to A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
ECM
ECM controls compressor according to status of engine and refrigerant.
ECM transmits engine coolant temperature signal to A/C auto amp. via
CAN communication line.
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Engine coolant temperature sensor measures engine coolant temperature.
The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in tempera-
ture. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature
increases.
Front display
Front display indicates operation status of front automatic air conditioning
system.
Front in-vehicle sensor
Front in-vehicle sensor measures temperature of intake air that flows
through aspirator to passenger room. The sensor uses a thermistor which
is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the
thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

IPDM E/R
A/C relay is integrated in IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R operates A/C relay when A/
C compressor request signal is received from ECM via CAN communica-
tion line.
Magnet clutch
The magnet clutch is the device that drives the compressor with the signal
from IPDM E/R. Compressor is driven by the magnet clutch which is mag-
netized by electric power supply. IPDM controls magnet clutch by turning
the built in A/C relay to ON ⇔ OFF according to ECM request.
Preset switch
Preset switch is integrated with front A/C control and AV operation switch.
Front A/C control operation signal is transmitted from preset switch to AV
control unit via communication line.
Refrigerant pressure sensor Refer to HAC-13 .
Sunload sensor
Sunload sensor measures sunload amount. This sensor is a dual system
so that sunload for driver side and passenger side are measured separate-
ly. This sensor converts sunload amount to voltage signal by photodiode
and transmits to A/C auto amp..
