Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Pressure Sensor SystemNFS0004G
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Check self-diagnosis results.

Is the result of self-diagnosis normal?
YES >> The connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK STOP LAMP SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect stop lamp switch con-
nector E111.
2. Disconnect stop lamp switch connector
3. Check continuity between stop lamp switch connector terminal 3
and 4.

Yaw Rate/Side G Sensor SystemNFS0004I
CAUTION:
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC
OFF switch ON) may cause the yaw rate/side G sensor system indicate a problem. However this is not
a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Check self-diagnosis results.
CAUTION:
When on a turntable, such as at a parking structure entrance, or when on a moving object with the
engine running, the VDC OFF indicator lamp might turn on and the self-diagnosis using the CONSULT-
III the yaw rate sensor system might be displayed, but in this case there is no problem with the yaw
rate sensor system. As soon as the vehicle leaves the turntable or moving object, restart the engine to
return the system to normal.
Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display items?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> INSPECTION END
2. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect yaw rate/side G sensor connector and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector and check the
terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If there is an error, repair or replace the
terminal.
2. Reconnect the connectors and then preform self-diagnosis.
Is the result of self-diagnosis normal?
YES >> The connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NO >> GO TO 3.

The Braking Distance Is LongNFS0004U
CAUTION:
On slippery road surfaces, the stopping distance might be longer with the ABS operating than when
the ABS is not operating.
1. CHECK FUNCTION
Disconnect VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector to deactivate ABS. In this condition, check stopping dis-
tance. After inspection, connect connector.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR in BRC-124, "Excessive ABS Func-
tion Operation Frequency" .
NG >>

Bleed air from the brake piping.

Check brake system.
The ABS Function Does Not OperateNFS0004V
CAUTION:
The ABS does not operate when the speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
1. CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure the warning lamp turns off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned on or when
driving.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR in BRC-124, "Excessive ABS Func-
tion Operation Frequency" .
NG >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-96, "
OPERATION PROCEDURE" .
Pedal Vibration or ABS Operation Sound OccursNFS0004W
CAUTION:
Under the following conditions, when brake pedal is lightly depressed (just place a foot on it), ABS is
activated and vibration is felt. However, this is normal.

When shifting gears

When driving on slippery road

During cornering at high speed

When passing over bumps or grooves [50 mm (1.97 in) or more]

When pulling away just after starting engine (at approximately 10 km/h (6MPH) or higher)
1. SYMPTOM CHECK 1
Check if pedal vibration or operation sound occurs when the engine is started.
Does the symptom occur?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-96, "
OPERATION PROCEDURE" .
2. SYMPTOM CHECK 2
Check symptom when electrical component (headlamps, etc.) switches are operated.
Does the symptom occur when the electrical component (head lamp, etc.) switches are operated?
YES >> Check if there is a radio, antenna, antenna lead wire, or wiring close to the control unit (or its wir-
ing), and if there is, move it farther away.
NO >> GO TO 3. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR in BRC-124, "
Excessive ABS Func-
tion Operation Frequency" .
