DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any of them is detected, replace
applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheel hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
[measured at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge]
CAUTION:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring runout. Refer toFAX-5,
"WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION".
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by
shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one
hole.
4. If runout is still out of the specification, refinish the disc rotor with
on-car brake lathe (“MAD, DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent). Or replace the disc rotor.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS006DM
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:
lTo 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.
lImproper 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.
lDo 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 SystemEFS005TG
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off and flush area
with water immediately.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a flare
nut torque wrench when tighten flare nuts.
lBrake 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 new one.
lBefore working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect con-
nector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the bat-
tery cables.
lWhen installing brake tube and hose, be sure to torque.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waster cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS005TH
lJust 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 status of operation check.
lStopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
lWhen 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.
lIf 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.
lIf there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction or error.
lIf aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
lBefore performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer toBRC-17, "CONSULT- II Functions".
lAfter diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer toBRC-18, "ERASE MEMORY".
lWhen checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector termi-
nals.
lFor intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
lIf a circuit tester is used for check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
lABS system electrically controls brake operation and engine output. Following symptoms may be caused
by normal operations:
Basic InspectionEFS005TY
BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake tube and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If leakage or seepage
is found, check the following items.
lIf ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten brake tube to the specified
torque and re-conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leakage.
lIf there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leakage.
lIf there is leakage or seepage at any location other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm than there
is on leakage.
lIf there is leakage from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), wipe away leakage or seepage with
clean cloth. Then inspect again. If there is leakage or seepage, replace ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer toBR-24, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION"in “Front Disc Brake” and
BR-32, "
Lining Thickness Inspection"in “Rear Drum Brake”.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, check the
battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alternator is normal.
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseThis is noise of motor inside ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Slight
noise may occur during ABS operation.
Normal
Just after engine starts, motor operating noise may be heard. This is a normal
status of the system operation check.
System operation check noiseWhen engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine compart-
ment. This is normal and is part of system operation check.Normal
ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance)When driving on roads with a low coefficient of friction, such as snowy roads
or gravel roads, the stopping distance is sometimes longer for vehicles
equipped with ABS. Therefore, when driving on such roads, drive at a suffi-
ciently reduced speed to be safe.Normal

WHEEL SENSORS
REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing wheel sensor.
CAUTION:
lAs much as possible, avoid rotating wheel sensor when removing it. Pull wheel sensors out with-
out pulling on sensor harness.
lTake care to avoid damaging wheel sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to wheel sensor wiring and loss of sen-
sor function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing wheel sensor. Tighten installation bolts and nuts to the specified
torques.
lWhen installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron chips on and in the mounting hole of
the wheel sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any foreign
material and clean the mount.
lWhen installing wheel sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at locations shown
above in figure. When installed, harness must not be twisted.
