FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT''.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness
and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (2WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of an air
bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp and spiral
cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service
Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS.
Precautions for Brake System
lUse brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
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.
lTo clean master cylinder parts, disc brake caliper parts
or wheel cylinder parts, use clean brake fluid.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
WARNING:
lClean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne materials.
*1: Refer to MA section (``Fluids and Lubricants'', ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
BR-1

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.

System Components
System Description
WHEEL SENSOR
The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a
sensor element. The element contains a bar magnet around
which a coil is wound. The sensor is installed on the back of the
brake rotor and the front of the differential (2WD) or the back of
the rear brake drum (4WD). As the wheel rotates, the sensor
generates a sine-wave pattern. The frequency and voltage
increase(s) as the rotating speed increases.
CONTROL UNIT (built in ABS actuator and electric
unit)
The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the sig-
nal current sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current
to the actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation
of the valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction
should be detected in the system, the control unit causes the
warning lamp to light up. In this condition, the ABS will be deac-
tivated by the control unit, and the vehicle's brake system reverts
to normal operation. (For control unit layout, refer to ABS
ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT, BR-34.)

G SENSOR (4WD models only)
The G sensor senses deceleration during braking to determine whether the vehicle is being driven on a high
 road (asphalt road, etc.) or a low  road (snow-covered road, etc.). It then sends a signal to the ABS con-
trol unit.
The reed switch turns on when it is affected by a magnetic field. During sudden deceleration (braking on a
high  road), the weight moves and the magnet in the weight moves away from the reed switch. The mag-
netic field then diminishes and the reed switch turns off.
ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT
The ABS actuator and electric unit contains:
lAn electric motor and pump
lTwo relays
lSix solenoid valves, each inlet and outlet for
Ð LH front
Ð RH front
Ð Rear
lABS control unit
This component controls the hydraulic circuit and increases,
holds or decreases hydraulic pressure to all or individual wheels.
The ABS actuator and electric unit are not disassemble.
