Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along
with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL P11 is as follows (The
composition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
lFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the
steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side),
front seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
lFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of
front seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a
frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
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 should 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. For removal of Spiral Cable and
Air Bag Module, see the RS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Brake System
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
lTo clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, 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
tube.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to ªBrake Burnishing Procedureº, ªCheck and
Adjustmentº, BR-7.
WARNING:
lClean brake pads with a waste cloth, then wipe with a
dust collector.

System Components
System Description
SENSOR
The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and an
electro-magnetic proximity detector. The proximity detector
(ªpick-upº) contains a bar magnet around which a coil is wound.
The detector is installed on the back side of the brake rotor. An
alternating voltage is generated in the coil of the proximity detec-
tor as each tooth of the rotor cuts the magnetic field of the
detector core. The frequency and amplitude of the voltage
increases in proportion to the rotational speed of the rotor.
CONTROL UNIT
The control unit determines the wheel rotating speed from the
signal sent from the sensor, a corresponding control signal is
then output from the control unit in the form of a DC current to
the actuator solenoid valve. The ABS control unit also controls
ON-OFF operation of the valve relay and motor relay. If any
electrical malfunction should be detected in the system, the con-
trol unit causes the warning lamp to light up. In this condition, the
ABS will be deactivated by the control unit, and the vehicle's
brake system reverts to normal operation.

Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage sensor edge and sensor rotor
teeth.
When removing the front or rear wheel hub assembly, dis-
connect the ABS wheel sensor from the assembly and move
it away. Failure to do so may result in damage to the sensor
or wiring making it inoperative.
