PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS003P3
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WA RN ING:

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 SystemEFS0062U

Refer to MA-10, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" for recommended brake fluid.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.

Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.

Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.

Always check tightening torque when installing brake lines.

Before working, turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect con-
nectors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or 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-25, "
BRAKE BURNISH-
ING PROCEDURE" .
WA RN ING:

Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.SBR6 86 C

CAUTION:
While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery
negative cable.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to BR-21, "
Components" (front disc brake), BR-27,
"Components" (rear disc brake).
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from the
front left, rear left, and front right bleed valve.

Precautions for Brake System EFS003QB
CAUTION:

Always use recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-10, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

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.

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.

Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.

If a brake fluid leak is found, the part must be disassembled
without fail. Then it has to be replaced with a new one if a
defect exists.

Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the connector of
the ABS actuator control unit or the battery terminal before
performing the work.

Always torque brake lines when installing.

Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to BR-25, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" (front disc brake) or BR-31, "BRAKE BUR-
NISHING PROCEDURE" (rear disc brake).
WA RN ING:

Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precautions When Using CONSULT-IIEFS003QC
When connecting CONSULT-II to data link connector, connect them through CONSULT-II CONVERTER.
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 carries out CAN communication.
CHECK POINTS FOR USING CONSULT-II
1. Has CONSULT-II been used without connecting CONSULT-II CONVERTER on this vehicle?

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

If YES, GO TO 2.

If NO, GO TO 5.
2. Is there any indication other than indications relating to CAN communication system in the self-diagnosis
results?

If YES, GO TO 3.

If NO, GO TO 4.
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefor, erase the self-diagnosis results.
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to BRC-10, "
CAN COMMUNICATION" .
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS003QD

During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.

Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a 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
diagnosis. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.

If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

If there is a radio, antenna or related 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 or improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or modified, the VDC OFF indica-
tor lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushings, etc.), tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake system (pads, rotors, calipers, etc.), components related to engine
(muffler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).

Driving with broken or excessively worn suspension components, tires or brake system components 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 curves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the
engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. with VDC turned off may cause the yaw
rate/side G sensor to indicate a problem. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting the engine.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS003QE

Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to terminal to be measured.

Maximum open terminal voltage of tester in use must be less than 7.0V.

Before checking harnesses, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.
