Checking Brake Fluid Level EFS000C5
●Confirm reservoir tank fluid level is within specifications
(between MAX and MIN lines).
●Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
●If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leaks.
●If warning lamp remains illuminated after parking lever is
released, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineEFS001C5
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tube and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace and damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake FluidEFS000C3
CAUTION:
●Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.
●Always keep fluid level higher than minimum line on reservoir tank.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on spill or splash on painted areas; it may cause paint damage.
If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away water immediately.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel
while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Turn OFF ignition switch. Remove ABS actuator connector.

[ESP/TCS/ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
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.

Checking Fluid LevelEGS0004B
●Check the fluid level with the engine OFF.
●Check that fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks on tank.
Fluid level should not exceed MAX mark. Excessive fluid will
cause fluid to leak from cap.
●Note that fluid level can change depending on temperature of
fluid. HIGH and LOW marks are shown on tank to indicate the
proper level at high temperature and low temperature respec-
tively.
CAUTION:
●Never reuse drained power steering fluid.
●Use DEXRONTM III or equivalent. Never use Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special, Nissan Matic
Fluid C, or D.
Checking Fluid LeakEGS0004C
Check hydraulic connections for any leak, crack, damage, loose-
ness, or wear.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed at idle.
2. Turn steering wheel several times from stop to stop.
3. Turn the steering wheel clockwise or counter clockwise until it
reaches the stop and hold it for five seconds. Check for fluid
leak.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel at stop for 15 seconds or longer.
Otherwise, pump may be damaged.
4. If any leak is found on joint, loosen and retighten flair nut. Excessive tightening may damage O-ring,
washer, or connector.
Bleeding Hydraulic SystemEGS0004D
1. Lift vehicle.
2. Fill tank up to MAX mark. Turn steering wheel several times from stop to stop. Add fluid if fluid level goes
down. Repeat this step until there is no fluid decrease and no bubble in tank.
3. Start engine and repeat step above with engine at idle. Continue step until no decrease in fluid happens.
If bleeding is not complete, following symptoms can be observed.
●Bubbles are created in reservoir tank.
●Rattling noise can be heard from oil pump.
●Whining noise can be heard from oil pump.
Turn steering wheel slowly or stop vehicle. Sound of fluid movement may be heard from gear valve and
pump. This sound has nothing to do with steering performance or durability. HOT : Oil temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
COLD : Oil temperature 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F)

direction to adjust until amount of left and right becomes equal.
STEERING TORQUE CHECK
1. Stop vehicle on a dry flat paved road and apply parking brake.
2. Start engine and wait until power steering fluid warms up. Using
a preload gauge, check rotational torque of steering wheel.
3. If torque is outside specifications, check rack sliding torque and
oil pump relief pressure.
STEERING ANGLE INSPECTION
●After toe-in inspection, check steering angle. Place front wheels
on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands. Level the
vehicle. Check maximum inner and outer wheel steering angles
for LH and RH road wheels.Steering wheel play inspection standard : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
