Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual: Steering Control System :: Precaution. Precautions
Precautions
Precaution for 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 front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collisions.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” sections of this Service Manual.
Warning:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation:
-
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, it is recommended that all maintenance and repair be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
-
Improper repair, 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
-
Never 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 WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
Warning:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation:
-
When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition/power switch ON or engine running, never 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/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for Eps System
-
Check the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis.
-
Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it′s condition from the customer if any malfunction, such as EPS warning lamp is turned ON, occurs.
-
Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel, and control unit is genuine part.
-
Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc.).
-
Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.
-
Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or altered ground clearance.
-
Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
-
Check if the battery voltage is proper.
-
Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
-
Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control unit harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to EPS control unit even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
-
-
During quick steering, rasping noise may be heard from around the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction. The noise is an operating noise of the EPS system under normal conditions. If the rasping noise occurs during slow steering, this may not be an operating noise of the system. In this case, it is necessary to find out the location of the noise and repair, if necessary.
