Line Pressure ControlECS004QF

TCM has various line pressure control characteristics to match the driving conditions.

An ON-OFF duty signal is sent to the line pressure solenoid valve based on TCM characteristics.

Hydraulic pressure on the clutch and brake is electronically controlled through the line pressure solenoid
valve to accommodate engine torque. This results in smooth shift operation.
NORMAL CONTROL
The line pressure to throttle opening characteristics is set for suitable
clutch operation.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS002F9
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 SystemEFS000BZ

Clean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air.

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 the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on painted areas, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.

Use only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components.

Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.

Always use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake
tube flare nuts.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the related parts. If damage,
deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace affected
parts with new ones.

Before starting operation, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF
and disconnect the ABS actuator and control module connector
or battery cables.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.SBR820BA

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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramEFS004FZ
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.

form self-diagnosis as follows:
Operation Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
5. After stopping the vehicle, with the engine running, touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”,
“SELF-DIAG RESULTS” in order on the CONSULT-II screen.
CAUTION:
If “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting the engine or turning on
the ignition switch, “ABS” might not be displayed in the System Selection screen. In this case,
repeat the operation from step 1.
6. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (If necessary, the self-diagnostic results can be printed out by
touching “PRINT”.)

When “NO FAILURE” is displayed, check the ABS warning lamp.
7. Conduct the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.
8. Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
CAUTION:

When a wheel sensor “short-circuit” is detected, if the vehicle is not driven at 30 km/h (19 MPH)
for at least 1 minute, the ABS warning lamp will not turn off even if everything is normal.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.
10. Start the engine and touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE
MEMORY” in order on the CONSULT-II screen to erase the error memory.
CAUTION:
If the error memory is not erased, re-conduct the operation from step 4.
11. For the final inspection, drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute and confirm that
the ABS warning lamp a off.
