PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) AIR BAG and SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER

EKS0043V

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. 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 harness connectors.

Wiring Diagrams and Trouble Diagnosis

When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-13, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams"

PG-2, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING"

When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

GI-10, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES"

GI-26, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident"

Check for any Service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.

System Description

EKS002CL

Refer to Owner's Manual for ASCD operating instructions.

POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND

Power is supplied at all times:

through 10A fuse [No. 2, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to the stop lamp switch terminal +.

When ignition switch is in the ON or START position, power is supplied:

through 10A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to ASCD control unit terminal 5.

through 10A fuse [No. 20, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to park/neutral position relay terminal 1

through 10A fuse [No. 30, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminals 6 and 21.

When park/neutral position switch (A/T) is in the P or N position, ground is supplied:

to park/neutral position (PNP) relay terminal 2

through body grounds F33, F35, and F37.

When ASCD CRUISE/ONOFF switch is depressed (ON), ground is supplied:

to ASCD control unit terminal 11

from ASCD steering switch terminal 4

to ASCD steering switch terminal 1

from ASCD control unit terminal 24.

Then ASCD control unit illuminates CRUISE indicator.
Ground is supplied:

to combination meter terminal 22

from ASCD control unit terminal 15.

Ground is supplied:

to ASCD control unit terminal 17

through body grounds M28 and M54.

ACS

OPERATION
Set Operation
To activate the ASCD, all of following conditions must exist:

ASCD control unit receives ASCD CRUISE/ONOFF switch ON signal

Power supply to ASCD control unit terminal 8 [Brake and clutch pedal is released (M/T), and brake pedal
is released and A/T selector lever is in other than P and N position. (A/T)]

Vehicle speed is between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH). (Signal from combination meter)
When the SET/COAST switch is depressed, ground is supplied:

to ASCD control unit terminal 11

from ASCD steering switch terminal 4.

Then ASCD motor actuator is activated to control throttle wire and ASCD control unit supplies ground:

to combination meter terminal 7 to illuminate SET indicator.

A/T Overdrive Control During Cruise Control Driving (A/T)

When the vehicle speed is approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH) below set speed, a signal is sent:

from ASCD control unit terminal 10

to TCM terminal 24.

When this occurs, the TCM cancels overdrive.
When vehicle speed returns to approximately 0.6 km/h (0.4 MPH) below set speed, overdrive is reactivated.

ACS-5

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD)

[QG18DE]
Coast Operation
When the SET/COAST switch is depressed during cruise control driving, ASCD motor actuator returns the
throttle cable to decrease vehicle set speed until the switch is released. Then ASCD will keep the new set
speed.
If SET/COAST switch is pressed and released quickly during cruise control driving, vehicle set speed will be
reduced by 1.6 km/h (1.0 MPH).

Accel Operation
When the ACCEL/RES switch is depressed, ground is supplied:

from ASCD steering switch terminal 4

to ASCD control unit terminal 11.

If the ACCEL/RES switch is depressed during cruise control driving, ASCD motor actuator pulls the throttle
cable to increase the vehicle speed until the switch is released or vehicle speed reaches maximum controlled
speed by the system. Then ASCD will keep the new set speed.
If ACCEL/RES switch is pressed and released quickly during cruise control driving, vehicle set speed will be
increased by 1.6 km/h (1.0 MPH).

Cancel Operation
When any of following conditions exist, cruise operation will be canceled:

CANCEL switch is depressed. (Ground is supplied to ASCD control unit terminal 11)

Brake pedal is depressed. (Power is supplied to ASCD control unit terminal 23 from stop lamp switch)

Brake or clutch pedal is depressed (M/T), brake pedal is depressed or A/T selector lever is shifted to P or
N position (A/T). (Power supply to ASCD control unit terminal 8 is interrupted.)
If CRUISE/ONOFF switch is turned to OFF when ASCD is activated, all of ASCD operation will be canceled
and vehicle speed memory will be erased.

Resume Operation
When the ACCEL/RES switch is depressed, after cancel operation other than depressing CRUISE/ONOFF
switch is performed, vehicle speed will return to last set speed. To resume vehicle set speed, vehicle condition
must meet following conditions:

Brake pedal is released.

Clutch pedal is released (M/T).

A/T selector lever is in other than P and N position (A/T).

Vehicle speed is between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).

ASCD MOTOR ACTUATOR OPERATION

When the ASCD activates, power is supplied:

from terminal 7 of ASCD control unit

to ASCD motor actuator terminal 1, and

from terminal 12 of ASCD control unit

to ASCD motor actuator terminal 6.

Ground is supplied:

from ASCD control unit terminals 1, 13, and 14

to terminals 3, 5, and 2 of ASCD motor actuator.

Power to the actuator motor is supplied constantly from the ASCD control unit. The ASCD control unit then
switches the actuator motor ground signals ON and OFF to control actuator motor operation and vehicle
speed.
