[TCS/ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NFS0002M
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 Battery ServiceNFS0002N
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions for Brake SystemNFS0002O

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off
and flush area with water immediately.

Never 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 electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
the battery negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS0002P

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

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

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionNFS000IJ
TCS SYSTEM
In case of Throttle Control System trouble, the TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned on,
and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without TCS equipment. In case of
trouble to the Throttle Control System, the ABS control continues to operate normally without TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, then perform the self-diagnosis for TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical problems with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp, TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical problem with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, TCS
OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the TCS/ABS become one of the fol-
lowing conditions of the Fail-Safe function.

For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without TCS/ABS equipment.
NOTE:
ABS self diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition because a self diagnosis for “Ignition
switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.
How to Proceed with DiagnosisNFS0002Z
BASIC CONCEPT

Most important point to perform diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle
thoroughly.

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
NOTE:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe cus-
tomer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this symptom”.

It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to
repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based on interview with customer and past examples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunction has actually been eliminated.

After diagnosis, make sure to carry out “erase memory”. Refer to
BRC-53, "
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" .

For an intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness con-
nector by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.

Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-3, "General Precau-
tions"

Note 1: After completing repairs of the shorted sensor circuit, when ignition switch is turned ON, ABS warning lamp turns on. Check that
ABS warning lamp turns off while driving the vehicle at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute according
to self-diagnosis procedure. In addition, if wheel sensor 2 is displayed for the wheels, check the wheel sensor circuit and also check the
control unit power voltage.

Active TestNFS000IO
CAUTION:

Do not perform active test while driving.

Make sure to completely bleed air from the brake system.

The ABS and brake warning lamps turn on during the active test.
NOTE:

When the active test is conducted while depressing the pedal, the pedal depression amount will change,
but this is normal.

Approximately 10 seconds after the operation is begun, “TEST STOP” will be displayed.

Correct and Quick DiagnosisNFS00036
DIAGNOSIS PRECAUTIONS

Before performing the trouble diagnosis, always read the general information (GI) to confirm the general
precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precautions" .

After completing service, always erase the self-diagnosis results. Refer to BRC-53, "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" .

When inspection of the continuity or voltage between units is performed, check connector terminals for
disconnection, looseness, bend, or collapse. If any non-standard condition is detected, repair or replace
applicable part.

Intermittent errors may be caused by a poor connection in the harness, connector, or terminal. Move har-
nesses, harness connectors, or terminals by hand to make sure all connections are solid and undamaged.

If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.

TCS/ABS is a system that uses electronic control to perform brake control and engine power control.
Therefore, phenomena like those shown in the following table may occur, but this is because the system is
working normally.
