THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE WARNING CONTINUES SOUNDING, OR
DOES NOT SOUND
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222534
 The parking brake warning buzzer sounds continuously during vehicle travel though the parking brake is
released.

brake applied.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006222535
1.CHECK PARKING BRAKE WARNING LAMP
1. Start the engine.
2. Check the operation of the brake warni ng lamp by operating the parking brake.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "Removal and Installation"
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform check for the parking brake switch signal circuit. Refer to WCS-43, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
Perform a unit check for the parking brake switch. Refer to WCS-43, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "Removal and Installation"
NO >> Replace parking brake switch. Refer to PB-5, "Exploded View".
When parking brake is applied : ON
When parking brake is released : OFF

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006256474
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air ba g inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wh eel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000006256475
NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the batte ry disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wil l remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >
SYSTEM
*: Mainly used for the tire inflation indicator function.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LAMP CONTROL CONDITION
Uses CAN communication from the low tire pressure warning control unit to illuminate the low tire pressure
warning lamp on the combination meter.
*: Tire pressure at each condition differs.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP CONTROL CONDITION
The low tire pressure warning control unit transmits a hazard request signal to BCM. BCM blinks the hazard
warning lamp, according to the signal.
The hazard warning lamp blinks under the following conditions.
Condition of Blinking The Hazard Warning Lamp When wake-up of registered wheel has been completed. Refer to WT-28, "Work Procedure".
 When ID registration is completed. Refer to WT-29, "
Work Procedure".
 During the use of the tire inflation indicator function.
HORN CONTROL CONDITION
The low tire pressure warning control unit transmits a horn request signal to BCM. BCM controls horn sound,
according to the signal.
The horn sounds under the following condition.
Condition of Sounding Horn During the use of tire inflation indicator function.
Tire Inflation Indicator FunctionINFOID:0000000006225495
 This function operates only when the A/T shift selector position is in P-range with the ignition switch ON or
with the engine started.
NOTE:
The tire inflation indicator function is recommended to use with the engine stopped.
 This function informs the driver of the satisfaction of the recom- mended COLD tire pressure.
The hazard warning lamp blinks when reaching the recommended
COLD tire pressure during radio wave reception. After reaching the
recommended COLD tire pressure, the horn sounds once and the
hazard warning lamp stops blinking.
 When tire pressure becomes a value equal to or more than 30 kPa
(0.31 kg/cm
2, 4 psi) more than the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure, the hazard warning lamp and the horn operates three times.
After deflating the tire and reaching the recommended COLD tire
pressure, the horn sounds only once and the hazard warning lamp
stops blinking.
NOTE:
 After starting to inflate the tire, it takes a few seconds for the tire inflation indicator to function.
ABS actuator and electric unit (con-
trol unit) Transmits the vehicle speed signal (ABS) via CAN communication for low tire pressure warning
control unit.
TCM
*Transmits the P range signal via CAN communication for low tire pressure warning control unit.
