PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 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.

Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral PositionNFS000Q4
In case of doing work that applies to the list below, make sure to adjust neutral position of steering angle sen-
sor before running vehicle.
×: Required
–: Not required
CAUTION:
To adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor, make sure to use CONSULT-II.
(Adjustment cannot be done without CONSULT-II.)
1. Stop vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position.
2. Perform “CONSULT-II Starting Procedure”. Refer to GI-38, "
CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
3. Turn ignition switch ON and touch the CONSULT-II screen in the order of “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and
“ST ANG SEN ADJUSTMENT”.
4. Touch “START”.
CAUTION:
Do not touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle
sensor.
5. After approximately 10 seconds, touch “END”. (After approxi-
mately 60 seconds, it ends automatically.)
6. Turn ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON again.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform above operation.
7. Run vehicle with front wheels in straight-ahead position, then
stop.
8. Select “DATA MONITOR”, “ECU INPUT SIGNALS”, and “STR ANGLE SIG” on CONSULT-II screen. Then
make sure “STR ANGLE SIG” is within 0±2.5°. If value is more than specification, repeat steps 1 to 7.
9. Erase memory of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and ECM. ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit): Refer to BRC-24, "
ERASE MEMORY" . ECM: Refer to EC-90, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS"
(VQ35DE), EC-792, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" (VK45DE).
10. Turn ignition switch OFF.

FunctionsNFS000Q6
ABS

Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, electronically controls
braking force, and prevents wheel locking during sudden braking. It improves handling stability and
maneuverability for avoiding obstacles.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
EBD

Electronic Brake force Distribution is a following function. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels during braking. Then it electronically controls
the rear braking force (brake fluid pressure) to reducing and reduces rear wheel slippage. Accordingly it
improves vehicle stability.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

COMBINATION METERS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) converses a pulse signal from wheel sensor to vehicle speed
signal, and transmit vehicle speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter converses vehicle speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to speedometer.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

ECM converses a signal from crankshaft position sensor to engine speed signal, and transmits to unified
meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine speed signal to combination meter with communication line.

Combination meter converses engine speed signal to the angle signal, and commands to tachometer.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.

ECM converses a signal from engine coolant temperature sensor to engine coolant temperature signal,
and transmits to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits engine coolant temperature signal to combination meter with com-
munication line.

Combination meter converses engine coolant temperature signal to the angle signal, and commands to
water temperature gauge.
