1998 NISSAN PICK-UP check engine

Checking Brake Fluid Level
lCheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
lIf fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
lIf the brake warning lamp comes on, check brake fluid level
switch and parking brake switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
lAlways keep fluid level higher than minimum line on
reservoir tank.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
4. Refill until brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
*1: Refer to MA section (``Fluids and Lubricants'', ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BR-3

INSPECTION
1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on
the rear of the vehicle. Then have the person on the rear of
the vehicle slowly get off. This is necessary to stabilize sus-
pension deflection.
3. Adjust length ``L'' as follows:
a. Loosen stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
b. Pull lever against stopper bolt and adjust by turning stopper
bolt.
c. Tighten stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
Length ``L'':
2WD models
Approx. 187.3 mm (7.37 in)
4WD models
Approx. 158.1 mm (6.22 in)
4. Install pressure gauge to front and rear brake air bleeder.
5. Bleed air from the Tool.
6. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50
kg/cm
2, 711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422
psi) and check rear brake pressure.
Rear brake pressure:
Refer to table below.
7. Set down weight slowly over axle center so that sensor
spring length becomes the same as when in loaded condi-
tion (refer to table below). Check rear brake pressure in the
same way described in step 6.

Inspection
Check brake pedal for following items:
lBrake pedal bend
lClevis pin deformation
lCrack of any welded portion
lCrack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
Adjustment
Check brake pedal free height from melt sheet.
H: Free height
Refer to SDS, BR-80.
D: Depressed height
Refer to SDS, BR-80.
Under force of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb)
with engine running
C: Clearance between pedal stopper and
threaded end of stop lamp switch
0.3 - 1.0 mm (0.012 - 0.039 in)
A: Pedal free play at clevis
1-3mm(0.04 - 0.12 in)
If necessary, adjust brake pedal free height.
1. Loosen lock nut and adjust pedal free height by turning brake
booster input rod. Then tighten lock nut.
lMake sure that the tip of input rod stays inside.
2. Loosen lock nut and adjust clearance ``C'' with stop lamp
switch respectively. Then tighten lock nuts.
3. Check pedal free play.
lMake sure that stop lamp is off when pedal is released.
4. Check brake pedal's depressed height while engine is run-
ning. If lower than specification, check for leaks, air in
system, or damage to components (master cylinder, wheel
cylinder, etc.). Then make necessary repairs.

BRAKE PEDAL AND BRACKET
BR-11

On-vehicle Service
OPERATING CHECK
lDepress brake pedal several times with engine off. After
exhausting vacuum, make sure there is no change in pedal
stroke.
lDepress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECK
lStart engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. Booster is airtight if pedal
stroke is less each time.
lDepress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop
engine with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not
change after holding pedal down for30 seconds.
Removal
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lBe careful not to deform or bend brake pipes during
removal of booster.

Purpose
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
Operation
lWhen the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
lThe Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned ``ON''. After the engine is started, the ABS warning
lamp turns off. The system performs a test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A
mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test
feature. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
lWhile driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.
