PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS000Q1
Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
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 oil 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.
ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in
wire near the control unit.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
VDC system may not operate normally or a VDC OFF indicator lamp or SLIP indicator lamp may light.
–When replacing the following parts with parts other than genuine parts or making modifications: Suspen-
sion-related parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing, etc.), tires, wheels (other than specified sizes), brake-
related parts (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), engine-related parts (muffler, ECM, etc.) and body reinforcement-
related parts (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
–When driving with worn or deteriorated suspension, tires and brake-related parts.

NO >>
Adjust air pressure, or replace tire.
Perform the self-diagnosis, and make sure that the result shows “NO DTC IS DETECTED”.
3. CHECK SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check sensor rotor for damage.
Check wheel sensor for damage, disconnection or looseness.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >>
Repair wheel sensor mount or replace sensor rotor. Then perform the self-diagnosis.
Perform the self-diagnosis, and make sure that the result shows “NO DTC IS DETECTED”.
4. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E30 and
malfunctioning wheel sensor connector E41(FR-RH), E59(FR-LH), B101(RR-RH), B102(RR-LH). Check
terminal to see if it is deformed, disconnected, loose, etc., Repair or replace it if any malfunction condition
is found.
2. Reconnect connectors and then perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-23, "
OPERATION PROCE-
DURE" .
OK or NG

c. While pulling outer socket slowly in 11 . 5 m m (0.453 in) range
from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.
d. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering
gear assembly.
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Place
front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on
stands. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning
angles for LH and RH road wheels.
With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to
full right stop and measure the turning angles.
Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that
rack stroke is outside of the standard.
Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assem-
bly, steering column assembly and front suspension compo-
nents for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are
different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any
non-standard condition exists.
