Precautions When Working On ABSNJBR0140+Use recommended tyres in combination with ABS.
+Please fit tyres or studded tyres, etc. with the same size.
+If different sizes of tyres, or tyres other than the ones rec-
ommended for use with the ABS, are fitted, stopping dis-
tance will increase and control and stability could deterio-
rate.
+When changing brake pads, please use Nissan genuine
parts.
+When fitting radios etc, do not position the radio itself,
antenna, or antenna cables within an area of about 100
mm (3.94 in) of the control unit.
+When doing any work that requires electro-welding, first
remove the control unit.
+Please take care when taking a power supply for the
audio, lamps etc., not to take this from any ABS-related
harness. (Please refer to the electrical wiring diagrams for
ABS-related harnesses)
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisNJBR0003When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
+GI-12, ªHOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMSº
+EL-10, ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
+GI-31, ªHOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSESº
+GI-21, ªHOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENTº
+On board self-diagnosis is available everywhere except for Europe.

sustained an impact.
+Do not expose the driver air bag module to temperatures
exceeding 90ÉC (194ÉF).
+Do not allow oil, grease or water to come in contact with
the driver air bag module.

3. Set steering wheel in the neutral position.
4. Disconnect horn/audio connector and remove nut.
5. Using steering wheel puller, remove steering wheel. Be care-
ful not to over-tighten puller bolt on steering wheel.

INSTALLATIONNJRS00171. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left about 3.5 revo-
lutions from the right end position. Align the two marks (
)or
make sure that the white indicator is visible in the upper part
of the indicator window, with the cable pointed downwards.
CAUTION:
+The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
+Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned up to
about 3.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right
and left.
3. Connect spiral cable connector and tighten with screws. Install
steering column cover.
4. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
5. Connect horn/audio connector and engage spiral cable with
pawls in steering wheel. Move driver air bag module connec-
tor away from steering wheel lower lid opening.
6. Tighten nut.

7. Position driver air bag module and tighten with new special
bolts.
8. Connect driver air bag module connector.
9. Install steering switches and lids.
10. Conduct self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates prop-
erly. (Use CONSULT-II or warning lamp check.)
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery cables.
11. Turn steering wheel to the left end and then to the right end
fully to make sure that spiral cable is set in the neutral posi-
tion.
If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks or stays ON (at the user
mode), it shows the spiral cable may be snapped due to its
improper position. Perform self-diagnosis again (use CON-
SULT-II or warning lamp). If a malfunction is detected, replace
the spiral cable with a new one.
12. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.

+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Audio unit ON
+Audio unit connected (If audio unit is removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper
wire.)
