PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000006057597

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.
WARNING: D
• 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. E
• 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”.
F
• 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.
G
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 H
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 I
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000006057598
J

NOTE:
• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
K
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work. L
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned. CHG
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE N
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged. O
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon- P
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
Precaution for Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System INFOID:0000000006067207

CAUTION:
For thailand model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the battery cable at the negative ter-
minal measures the charging/discharging current of the battery, and performs various controls. If the
electrical component or the ground wire is connected directly to the battery terminal, the current other
than that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging from the bat-
tery. This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery discharge may occur.
Do not connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal.

Component part Description

J
IC voltage regulator controls the power generation voltage by the
target power generation voltage based on the received power gen-
eration command signal.
Alternator (IC voltage regulator)
When there is no power generation command signal, the alterna- K
tor performs the normal power generation according to the char-
acteristic of the IC voltage regulator.
Battery current sensor is installed to the battery cable at the neg- L
ative terminal, and it detects the charging/discharging current of
Battery current sensor
the battery and sends the voltage signal to ECM according to the
current value.
Battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging current of
CHG
the battery. ECM judges the battery condition based on this signal.
ECM judges whether to perform the power generation voltage
variable control according to the battery condition. N
ECM
When performing the power generation voltage variable control,
ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according to
the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the power
generation command value to IPDM E/R. O
IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command val-
IPDM E/R ue into the power generation command signal (PWM signal) and
sends it to the IC voltage regulator.

置きする (with A/C models)。Refer to HA-30, "Exploded View".
5. Disconnect alternator connector.
6. Remove terminal B nut and disconnect terminal B harness. N
7. Remove alternator mounting bolt upper.
8. Remove alternator mounting bolt lower.
9. Alternator を車両横側から取り外す。 O
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION: P
• Temporarily tighten the alternator bolts in order from the lower to the upper, and then tighten them in
order from the upper to the lower.
• For the alternator, the front side (pulley side) surface is the reference surface. Fit the reference sur-
face to the alternator mounting part, and then tighten the bolts.
• Be careful to tighten terminal B nut carefully.
• Install alternator, and check tension of belt. Refer to EM-18, "Checking".

DISASSEMBLY
Rear Cover
NOTE:
Rear cover may be hard to remove because a ring is used to lock
outer race of rear bearing. To facilitate removal of rear cover, heat
only the bearing box section until the temperature increases to
approximately 30°C (86°F) with a soldering iron (200W capacity).
CAUTION:
Never use a heat gun, as if can damage diode assembly.

ASSEMBLY
Rear Bearing
CAUTION:
• Never reuse rear bearing. Replace with a new one.
• Never lubricate rear bearing outer race.
Rear Cover Installation
1. Fit brush assembly, diode assembly, regulator assembly and
stator.

2. Push brushed up with fingers and install them to rotor.

NOTE:
Take care not damage slip ring sliding surface.

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
1. Resistance test
A
Resistance : Refer to SDS CHG-30, "Alternator".
• Replace the rotor if the measurement value is outside of the
specified range. B
2. Insulator test
• Replace the rotor if continuity exists.
3. Check slip ring for wear. C

Slip ring minimum : Refer to SDS CHG-30, "Alterna- SKIB4525E

• Replace the rotor if the measurement value is outside of the specified range.
Brush Check
E
1. Check smooth movement of brush.
• Check brush holder and clean if it is not smooth.
2. Check brush for wear. F
• Replace brush if it is worn down to the limit line.
