PRECAUTIONS
[4WD/ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for brake systemEFS001B6
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3 ”or “DOT 4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
●To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
●Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
●Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.
●Always torque brake lines when installing.
●Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure" .
●Before working, turn OFF ignition switch. Disconnect connectors
for ABS actuator and control module or battery terminals.
WARNING:
●Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.
Precautions for brake controlEFS001B7
●If malfunction is indicated by 4WD warning lamp and/or ABS warning lamp, collect necessary information
from customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions). Find out possible causes before start-
ing service. Besides electrical system inspection, check operation of ABS actuator.
●If malfunction is detected, proceed to trouble diagnosis after checking tire pressure and tire wear.
●Stopping distance or steering stability may be deteriorated by the following conditions. Tire size and type
are in improper combination. Brake pads are not Nissan genuine parts.
●Fitting tires of different size on vehicle can be cause of longitudinal vibration. Always use tires of the same
size and brand. Exchange front and rear tires on the following conditions: Longitudinal vibration occurs in
vehicle with tires of the same size and brand. After replacement, perform trouble diagnosis. 1580|None
●4WD/ABS function may have a failure or error under following condition: There is radio, antenna, or
antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module.
●If aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.

Precautions for Brake SystemEFS0019O
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be 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.
●Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
●Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tubes.
●Always torque brake lines when installing.
●Before working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
connectors for the ESP/TCS/ABS actuator and control unit or
the battery terminals.
●Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure" .
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS0019P
●During the ESP/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates lightly and its mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
●Just after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.
●The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough,
gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
●If a malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp, or other warning lamps, collect the necessary infor-
mation from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and find out the possible
causes before starting the service. Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster operation,
brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
●If the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine
parts, the stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
●If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near the control unit, the ESP/TCS/
ABS function may have a malfunction or error.
●If aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check the electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS001CP
FOR INSPECTION
●Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to the measurement terminals.
●Use the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0V or less.
●Before harness inspection, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect the negative battery terminal.

[ESP/TCS/ABS]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
●If a leak or oozing is detected on the ESP actuator body, wipe the applicable part with a clean cloth.
Then check again for leaks, and if there is still a leak or oozing, replace the ESP actuator body.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble the actuator body.
3. Check the brake disc rotor and pads.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 2: (INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL)
Check the battery for looseness on the battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection. If loose-
ness is detected, tighten the piping to the specified torque. Check that the battery voltage does not drop and
the alternator is normal.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 3: (INSPECTION FOR ABS WARNING LAMP, ESP OFF INDICATOR
LAMP, AND SLIP INDICATOR LAMP)
1. Check that the ABS warning lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn on, check the ABS warning lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
2. Check that ESP OFF indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON.
If it does not turn ON, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
3. Check that the SLIP indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn ON, check the SLIP indicator lamp and the circuit.
4. With the engine running, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns ON and OFF when the ESP OFF
switch turns ON and OFF. If it dose not operate in accordance with the switch, check the ESP OFF switch
and the circuit.
5. Check that the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns OFF after Approx. 2 seconds delay when the ESP OFF
switch turned ON (The ESP/TCS system was not operated). If the ESP OFF indicator lamp does not turn
OFF in 10 seconds from the engine start, perform the self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.

Inspection procedure
1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT CHECK 1
Check the self-diagnosis results.
Are any self-diagnosis result items above indicated?
>> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK THE CONNECTOR
Remove connectors of the wheel sensor which is malfunctioning and the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit. Check
whether the deformation of terminal, or incorporate connection of connectors. Then, connect connectors. In
addition, check if the wheel sensor cable is damaged due to friction.
Does ABS warning lamp is out when driving 30 km/h (19 MPH) for Approx. One minute?
YES >> Check is completed.
NO >> GO TO 3.
