Removal
CAUTION:
+Before removing the rear axle, disconnect the ABS wheel
sensor from the assembly. Then move it away from the
axle. Failure to do so may result in damage to the sensor
wires and the sensor becoming inoperative.
+Wheel bearing does not require maintenance.
+If growling noise is emitted from wheel bearing during
operation, replace wheel bearing assembly.
+If the wheel bearing assembly is removed, it must be renewed.
The old assembly must not be re-used.
1. Disconnect parking brake cable and brake tube.
2. Remove nuts securing wheel bearing cage with baffle plate.
3. Draw out axle shaft with Tool.
When drawing out axle shaft, be careful not to damage oil seal.
4. Remove O-ring.
5. Remove oil seal with a screwdriver.
Do not reuse oil seal once it is removed.
Always install new one.
6. Remove ABS sensor rotor. Ð Models with ABS Ð

System Components
Roll rigidity is increased by activating the stabilizer function (turning the stabilizer ON) on good roads. On rough
roads, deactivating the stabilizer function (turning the stabilizer OFF) reduces stabilizer swing-back behavior.
As a result, the stabilizer release device serves to increase driving capability and riding comfort on rough roads.
The stabilizer release device is electrically activated (turned ON) or deactivated (turned OFF) by the stabilizer
switch in the driver's compartment.
System Description
CONTROL UNIT
The stabilizer control unit controls the actuator motor using the
stabilizer switch and a signal sent from the vehicle speed sensor.
When vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 MPH), the stabilizer
control unit maintains the clutch cylinder position and activates the
stabilizer function, regardless of the position of the stabilizer switch.
The system is provided with a timer function to cut the actuator
activating power output in about 15 seconds, in consideration of a
possible system abnormality.
ACTUATOR
The actuator motor is turned on by a signal sent from the control
unit. When the motor operates, the cable moves to activate the
stopper pin at the end of the cable.
CLUTCH CYLINDER
The stopper pin (at the end of the cable) moves in and out of the
cylinder (toward the piston rod or away from the piston rod) to turn
the stabilizer ON or OFF.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER''
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ``AIR BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision.
The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition varies
according to the destination.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located
on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp,
wiring harness and spiral cable.
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 in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTION
RS-1
Maintenance Items
CAUTION:
Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuit.
1. Check operation of ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp.
After turning ignition key to ``ON'' position, both warning lamps
illuminate. The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp will go off after about
7 seconds if no malfunction is detected.
If any of the following warning lamp conditions occur, immedi-
ately check the air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner system. Refer
to RS-30 for details.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp does not go off about 7 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
+The ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp blinks about 7 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned ``ON''.
2. Visually check SRS components.
(1) Diagnosis sensor unit
+Check diagnosis sensor unit and bracket for dents, cracks or
deformities.
+Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
(2) Air bag module and steering wheel
+Remove air bag module from steering wheel or instrument
panel. Check harness cover and connectors for damage, ter-
minals for deformities, and harness for binding.
+Install driver air bag module to steering wheel to check ®t or
alignment with the wheel.
+Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
+For dual air bag system, install passenger air bag module to
instrument panel to check ®t or alignment with the instrument
panel.
(3) Spiral cable
+Check spiral cable for dents, cracks, or deformities.
+Check connectors and protective tape for damage.
+Check steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
(4) Harness related to SRS
+Check connectors for poor connections, damage, and terminals
for deformities.
+Check harnesses for binding, cha®ng or cut.
(5) Seat belt pre-tensioner
+Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals for
deformities, and harness for binding.
+Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
+Check retractor for smooth operation.
+Perform self-diagnosis for seat belt pre-tensioner using
bulb or CONSULT. Refer to ``SRS Operation Check'' for details.
(RS-30)
CAUTION:
Replace previously used special bolts, ground bolt and anchor
bolt with new ones.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof 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 in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN 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 RS section.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Steering System
+Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
+Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from
becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
+Place disassembled parts in order, on a parts rack, for easier and proper assembly.
+Use nylon cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might
interfere with their operation.
+Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-¯ammable
solvent.
+Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF* to hydraulic parts. Vaseline may be applied
to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
+Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during instal-
lation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.
