PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
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 INFINITI Q45 is as follows:
!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), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
!For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), 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:
!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 INFINITI dealer.
!Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by intentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the RS section.
!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 (except satellite sensor and side air bag module) covered with yellow insulation tape either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

Precautions for Steering System
!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 Genuine Nissan PSF II or equivalent 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 instal-

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
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 composition which is available to INFINITI Q45 is as follows:
!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), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
!For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), 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).
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 should be performed by an authorized INFINITI dealer.
!Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
!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 (except satellite sensor and side air bag module) covered with yellow insulation tape either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

SEAT BELTS
CAUTION:
!Before removing the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both
battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
!Do not use electrical test equipment for seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
!After replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting seat belt pre-ten-
sioner connector, check the system function. Refer to “Self-diagnosis” (RS-39) for details.
!Do not use disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
!Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
!Never oil tongue and buckle.
!If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.
!If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
!When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioner
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly if:
!The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
!The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)
!The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for dam-
age or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
!Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
!The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Switch ignition ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime should
sound for about seven seconds.
b. Fasten driver’s seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should
stop.
c.If the seat belt warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and seat belt warning
lamp. Refer to “Self-diagnosis”, “TROUBLE DIAGNOSES — Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)”,
RS-39.
2. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
3. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels freely and that belt lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely.
4.Check retractor operation:
a.Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears
or other damage.
b.Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that belt returns smoothly
and completely into the retractor. If the seat belt does not
returns smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean
paper cloth etc. because dirt built up in the loops of the upper
anchors can cause the seat belts to retractor slowly.
c.Fasten the seat belt. Pull firmly on belt and buckle to ensure
belt remains latched. Unfasten seat belt. Ensure belt releases
SRS353
freely and buckle button returns to original position.
5.Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat
belts.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are of the Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden
stop) the retractor will lock and prevent the belt from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt
retractors except the driver’s seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The
ALR mode (also called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is
activated when the seat belt is fully extended. When the belt is then retracted partially, the ALR mode
automatically locks the seat belt in a specific position so the belt cannot be extended any further. To
cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat belt to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors using the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating
properly.
ELR function stationary check
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from extending further.
ALR function stationary check
1. Pull out entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the belt partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the belt retracts indicating retractor is in the
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out of retractor. Belt must lock and not extend further. If NG, replace the
retractor assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of belt to retract to cancel the ALR mode.

WARNING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example,
a large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. DO NOT perform the following test
on wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten driver’s seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of the pending sudden stop
and the driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the retractor does not
lock. Apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During the stop, seat belts should lock and not extend. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock, perform the retractor off-vehicle check.

Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” Service
!Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
!Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch “OFF”, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
!Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “!” pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
!The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
!Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and side air bag module (built-in type) with the stud bolt side facing down.
!Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
!After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load Limiter
The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed to
both the driver’s seat and the front passenger’s seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified
level occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors
is immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers
are securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
stopper-A pin will break, allowing the ring gear to rotate. At this
point, resistance force from the belt housing is applied to the wire
attached to the ring gear so that the wire keeps a constant level of
tension (resistance against further rotation of the ring gear in the
normal direction). As the ring gear stopper-A rotates and reaches
the stopper-B position, it will cease rotation, causing the seat belt
webbing to stop extending. By the mechanism, the load limiter
permits the specified extension of the seat belt, and a relaxation of
the chest-area seat belt web tension while maintaining force.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES — Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Trouble Diagnoses Introduction
CAUTION:
!Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS harness connectors unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses (except satellite sensor and side air bag module) covered with yellow insulation tape either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
!Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
!Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using “AIR BAG” warning lamp, “SEAT BELT” warning lamp
and/or CONSULT-II. The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes — “User mode”
and “Diagnosis mode”.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system
malfunction through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or “SEAT BELT” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp, “SEAT BELT” warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as
follows:
User modeDiagnosis modeDisplay type
“AIR BAG” warning lampXXON-OFF operation
“SEAT BELT” warning lampX—ON-OFF operation
CONSULT-II—XMonitoring
EXIT
EXIT
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-II
!“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring repairs.
!“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the
Diagnosis mode) are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored results are not erased until memory
erasing is executed.
!“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be displayed
on the CONSULT-II screen.
!“ECU DISCRIMINATED NO.”
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned
with its own, individual classification number. This number will
be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, as shown at left.
When replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part
number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement
with a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-II screen.
For INFINITI Q45, the diagnosis sensor unit classification
number assigned is 2E.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
With CONSULT-II
!“SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”
A current self-diagnosis result is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. After the malfunction
is repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”.
!“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”
Return to the “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” CONSULT-II screen by
pushing “BACK” key of CONSULT-II and select “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” in “SELECT DIAG MODE”. Touch “ERASE” in “SELF-DIAG
[CURRENT]” mode.
NOTE:
If the memory of the malfunction in “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” is not
erased, the User mode shows the system malfunction by the
operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is
repaired completely.

EXIT
EXIT
!“TROUBLE DIAG RECORD”
The memory of TROUBLE DIAG RECORD cannot be erased.
Without CONSULT-II
After a malfunction is repaired, return from Diagnosis mode to User mode by switching the ignition “OFF” for
at least 1 second, then back “ON”. At that time, the self-diagnosis result is cleared.
