Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS004GW
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 SystemEFS004GX
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 such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off
and flush area with water immediately.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
Using a flare nut torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube
flare nuts.
Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with a new one.
Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect har-
ness connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
or battery negative terminal.
When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS004FV
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 compartment. This is a normal status 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 booster operation, brake fluid level, and
oil leaks.
If tyre 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.

ABS FunctionEFS004G0
The Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.
In case of the electrical system breaks down, then the Fail-Safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and the ABS warning lamp turns on.
Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
EBD FunctionEFS004G1
Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the Brake Fluid Pressure
which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
In case of the electrical system break down, then the Fail-Safe function is starts, the EBD and ABS
becomes inoperative, and the ABS warning lamp is turned on.
Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004G2
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of the electrical problems with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical prob-
lem with the EBD, ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ABS become one of the following condi-
tions of the Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as
the condition of vehicles without ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an ABS self diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition
because a self diagnosis for “Ignition switch ON” and “the First Starting” are being performed.

System DescriptionEFS0055R
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
