On-Board Inspection and ServiceNFS000S7
OPERATION CHECK
With engine stopped, change vacuum to atmospheric pressure by
depressing brake pedal several times. Then with brake pedal fully
depressed, start engine and when vacuum pressure reaches the
standard, make sure that clearance between brake pedal and floor
panel decreases.
AIR TIGHT CHECK

Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute, and stop it after
applying vacuum to booster. Depress brake pedal normally to
change vacuum to atmospheric pressure. Make sure that dis-
tance at intervals of 5 seconds between brake pedal and floor
panel gradually increases.

Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change after
holding pedal down for 30 seconds.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NFS000PY
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.
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 Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNFS000PZ
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for Brake SystemNFS000Q0

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-12, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surface of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted sur-
faces of body immediately wipe off then with cloth and then wash it away with water.

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

Use a flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a flare
nut crowfoot and torque wrench when tighten brake tube flare
nuts.

When installing brake tubes, be sure to check torque.

Brake 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 a new one.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect con-
nectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.

CAUTION:
Be careful of the following.

Before servicing, disconnect the battery cable from negative terminal.

aged. To install, use flare nut torque wrench.

Do not apply excessive impact to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), such as dropping it.

Do not remove and install actuator by holding harness.

After work is completed, bleed air from brake tube. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .

After installing harness connector in the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), make sure
connector is securely locked.
REMOVAL
1. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to EI-18, "REMOVAL" .
2. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
3. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
4. Remove tire.
5. Remove fender protector (rear): (front LH side). Refer to EI-20, "

Precautions for Liquid GasketNBS004QK
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface using the seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.

In areas where seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic ham-
mer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver
is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid
gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
