Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BFS000CK
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
To 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/INFINITI dealer.
Improper 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 SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemBFS000CL
Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”. Refer to MA-14, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS" .
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder and disc brake caliper, use clean brake fluid.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will
ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
Using a flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a
flare nut torque wrench when tighten brake tube flare nuts.
When installing brake tubes, be sure to check torque.
Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
battery negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlBFS000CM
During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine room. This is a normal condition of operation check.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid
level, and fluid leaks.
If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction or error.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

1. CHECK START
Check front/rear brake force distribution using a brake tester. Refer to BR-40, "
SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFI-
CATIONS (SDS)" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check brake system.
2. CHECK FRONT AND REAR AXLE
Check to make sure that there is no excessive play in the front and rear axles. Refer to Front: FAX-5, "
On-
Vehicle Inspection" , Rear: RAX-3, "On-Vehicle Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair.
3. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check wheel sensor and sensor rotor for the following.
Sensor installation for damage
Sensor rotor installation for damage
Sensor connector connection
Sensor harness inspection
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >>
Replace wheel sensor or sensor rotor.
Repair harness.
4. CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure that the warning lamp turns off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON or
when driving.
OK or NG
OK >> Normal
NG >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-17, "
Self-Diagnosis" .
Unexpected Pedal ActionBFS000DD
1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL STROKE
Check brake pedal stroke. Refer to BR-6, "
Inspection and Adjustment" .
Is the stroke too big?
YES >>Bleed air from the brake piping. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .
Check brake pedal, brake booster, and master cylinder for mount play, looseness, brake fluid
leakage, etc. Repair if necessary. Refer to Brake pedal: BR-7, "
COMPONENTS" , brake
booster and master cylinder: BR-22, "
COMPONENTS" .
NO >> GO TO 2.

ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (ASSEMBLY)
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting bolts.
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
If the part number on the part number label (pasted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, may turn ON or ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.
Before servicing, disconnect both battery cables.
To remove brake tube, use a flare nut torque wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from
being damaged. To install, use a flare nut torque wrench (commercial service tool) and tighten
with the specified torque.
Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.
Do not remove and install ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) by holding harness.
INSTALLATION
Install is in the reverse order of the removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts with the specified torque.
After the work, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .
After installing body harness connector in the actuator, make sure connector is securely locked.
