PRECAUTIONS
PFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”

ECS00IYV

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 and SB 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 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 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
harness connectors.

Precautions

ECS00939

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.
●
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
●
When removing and installing clutch piping, use Tool.
●
Use new brake fluid to clean or wash all parts of master cylinder and operating cylinder.
●
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will
ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
WARNING:
After cleaning clutch disc, wipe it with a dust collector. Do not
use compressed air.

ECS0093F

Check to see if the clutch pedal clevis pin floats freely in the bore
of the clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clevis or clutch
pedal.
If the pin is not free, check that the ASCD switch or pedal stopper bolt is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal causing the
pin to bind. To adjust, loosen the ASCD switch or pedal stopper
bolt lock nut and turn the ASCD switch or pedal stopper bolt.
Tighten the lock nut.
Verify that the clutch pedal clevis pin floats freely in the bore of
the clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clevis or clutch
pedal.
If the pin is still not free, remove the pin and check for deformation or damage. Replace the pin if necessary. Leave the pin
removed for step 2.
Check the clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
With the clutch pedal clevis pin removed, manually move the
pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
If any sticking is noted, replace the related parts (clutch pedal,
pedal bracket, assist spring and bushing). Reassemble the
pedal and re-verify that the clevis pin floats freely in the bore of
the pedal.

If any sticking or binding is noted, repair or replace the related
parts as necessary.
If the hydraulic system was necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to CL-7, "Air Bleeding Procedure" .
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder
on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not
purge all of the air from the system.
