2007 INFINITI M35 engine hose

BL-248
IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45

Unless each start condition is fulfilled, the engine will not response regardless of how many times the
push-button ignition switch is pushed. At that time, illumination repeats the position in the order of LOCK
→ ACC → ON → LOCK.
*1: When the A/T selector lever position is N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.

At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or less, the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.

At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as “Engine stall
return operation while driving”.)
*2: When the A/T selector lever position is in any position other than P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h or more, the
engine stop condition is different.

Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short
a time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent the incorrect operation.)

Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
ECM Re-Communicating FunctionNIS0020F
Performing following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM or Intelligent
Key unit, but only when the ECM has been replaced with a new one (*1).
*1: New one means a virgin ECM which has never been energized on-board.
(In this step, initialization procedure by CONSULT-II is not necessary)
NOTE:

When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-II
Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

If multiple keys are attached to the key holder, separate them before work.

Distinguish keys with unregistered key ID from those with registered ID.
1. Install ECM.
2. Insert the registered Intelligent Key (*2), turn ignition switch to “ON”.
*2: To perform this step, use the key that has been used before performing ECM replacement.
3. Maintain ignition switch in “ON” position for at least 5 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch to “OFF”.

CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

Make sure that a brake fluid level in reservoir tank is within the
standard (between MAX and MIN lines).

Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leakage.

If the level is excessively low, check brake system for leakage.

Release parking brake pedal and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineNFS000RW
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Drain and RefillNFS000RX
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3”.

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.

Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleed valve, and gradually remove
brake fluid.

2. Disconnect brake hose from brake tube, using a flare nut wrench.
3. Remove union bolts, and then remove brake hose from brake
caliper assembly.
4. Remove lock plate and then remove brake hose from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the union bolt and copper washer to the brake hose.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washer.
2. Attach L-shape metal fitting of the brake hose to brake caliper assembly positioning hole, and then tighten
union bolt to the specified torque. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Circuit" .
3. Connect brake hose to brake tube, partially tighten flare nut by hand as much as possible, then secure it
to the bracket with lock plate.
4. Using a flare nut torque wrench, tighten flare nut to the specified torque. Refer to BR-11, "
Hydraulic Cir-
cuit" .
5. Refill brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
Inspection after InstallationNFS000S2
CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
tings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is
detected.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) and connections for fluid leakage, damage, twists, deformation, con-
tacts with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any damage parts.
2. While depressing brake pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg, 177 lb) with engine running for approximately
5 seconds, then check each part for fluid leakage.

Basic InspectionNFS000QK
BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAK INSPECTION AND BRAKE PAD
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid. Refer to BR-9, "CHECKING
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL" .
2. Check for leakage in brake tubes or hoses and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). If
there is leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.

If the brake tube connections at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are loose, tighten flare nuts
to the specified torque. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.

If flare nuts or screws of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are damaged and loose, replace
damaged parts. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.

If there is leakage at any location other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connections,
wipe away leakage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.

If there is leakage from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), wipe away leakage with clean cloth.
Then inspect again. If there is still leakage, replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake disc rotor and pads.

Front disc rotor: Refer to BR-27, "DISC ROTOR INSPECTION" .

Front brake pad: Refer to BR-22, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" .

Rear disc rotor: Refer to BR-33, "DISC ROTOR INSPECTION" .

Rear brake pad: Refer to BR-28, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" .
