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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYSTEM
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYSTEMPFP:00000
Wheel Sensor SystemBFS000D5
Check each part according to CONSULT-II self-diagnostic results, and then identify the parts to be replaced.
CAUTION:
Do not check between wheel sensor terminals.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK TIRE
Check air pressure, wear and size.
Are air pressure, wear and size within the standards?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Adjust air pressure, or replace tire.
2. CHECK SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check sensor and sensor rotor.
Check sensor rotor rubber bar for damage.
Check sensor for disconnection or looseness.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair sensor mount or replace sensor rotor.
3. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
Check the self-diagnostic results.
Is the above display on the screen?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> INSPECTION END
4. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connectors and malfunctioning wheel sensor con-
nector. Check terminal for deformation, open circuit, pooh contact, etc., and repair or replace if any mal-
function is found.
2. Reconnect connectors, drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute, and then
perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NG >> GO TO 5.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, the VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Compo-

size), components related to brake (Pad, Rotor, Caliper, etc.), Components related to engine (Muffler,
ECM, etc.), Components related to body reinforcement (Roll bar, Tower bar, etc.).
Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of the suspension, tires or components related to
the brakes may cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC
system may not operate properly.
When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the
SLIP indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a incident if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting the engine.
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc; when VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
switch ON), may cause that the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system indicate a incident. However this is
not a incident if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
