  Q: How to service and diagnos the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and airbags on Nissan Xterra?

  A: The models which were discussed have Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) which is also known as airbags to prevent occupants from harm in the event of head-on or frontal collisions, some of them including side-impact airbags. The SRS system comprises of a diagnosis/sensor unit that includes a crash sensor and is monitored by an on-board microprocessor, indicated by the "AIRBAG" light during startup. If the system detects a significant deceleration force or impact, the airbags deploy.

Disabling it is crucial when servicing components near the SRS system such as disconnecting battery cables and waiting ten minutes. There are distinct procedures for disabling and enabling systems on several other airbag units such as driver's side airbag, passenger's side airbag and side-impact airbags Removal/installation steps with torque specifications for fasteners during reassembly are provided for each component.
