Scan Tool Testing and Procedures
CAUTION:
- Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS harness connectors unless instructed. SRS wiring harnesses (except "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" connector) can be identified by yellow harness connector (and with yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape before the harness connectors).
- Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged, replace it with a new one. Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using "AIR BAG" warning lamp, "SEAT BELT" warning lamp and/or CONSULT. The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes - "User mode" and "Diagnosis mode". The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system malfunction through the operation of the "AIR BAG" warning lamp and/or "SEAT BELT" warning lamp. The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part. For information regarding how to read the codes see: Testing and Inspection / Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes / Without Scan Tool
The mode applications for the "AIR BAG" warning lamp, "SEAT BELT" warning lamp and CONSULT are as follows:
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT
"SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]"
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is displayed on the CONSULT screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring repairs.
"SELF-DIAG [PAST]"
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) are displayed on the CONSULT screen. The stored results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
"TROUBLE DIAG RECORD"
With "TROUBLE DIAG RECORD", diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be displayed on the CONSULT screen.
"ECU DISCRIMINATED NO."
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification number. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT screen, shown. When replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT screen.
For INFINITI I30, the diagnosis sensor unit classification number assigned is 6B.
