SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000004305925

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.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000004305926

NOTE:
This procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM).
Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position.
Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
Perform the necessary repair operation.
When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the LOCK position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Steering System

INFOID:0000000004305927

In case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle
condition, and then check wheel alignment.
Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
Revision: October 2008

PS-2

2009 Versa

PRECAUTIONS
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
- 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.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
- Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.

CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering column assembly.
Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Check steering gear assembly mounting bolts and nuts for looseness. Refer to PS-12, "Removal and Installation".

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY

Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on the
outer circumference.
Steering wheel play

: 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)

When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering column assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.

CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL

Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to PS-2, "Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"".
Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if steering wheel is not in the neutral position.

< SERVICE INFORMATION >
Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure spiral cable alignment and centering marks (B) are matched
and in the neutral position. The neutral position is detected by turning left 2.5 revolutions from the right end position, ending with the
locating pin (A) at the top. Place steering wheel in straight ahead
