INSPECTION
1. Operate the parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N ( 20 kg, 44 lb). Check that the pedal stroke is within
the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening to clicks of ratchet.)
2. When brake warning lamp turns ON, check that the pedal stroke is within the specified number of
notches. (Check it by listening to clicks of ratchet.)
Inspect Components
Check the following items and replace if necessary.
• Check each component for installation condition such as looseness.
 Check the parking brake pedal assembly for bend, damage and cracks.
 Check the cables and equalizer for wear, damage and cracks.
 Check the parking brake switch. Refer to BRC-118, "
Component Inspection".
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the rear tires with power tool.
2. Fix the disc rotor using wheel nuts (2 points at least).
3. Release the parking brake pedal by turning the adjusting nut and loosening the cable.
4. Remove the plug from the disc rotor. Turn the adjuster (1) in the
direction (A) as shown in the figure using a suitable tool until the
disc rotor is locked.
5. Turn back the adjuster 5 or 6 notches from the locked position.
6. Rotate the disc rotor to check that there is no drag. Install the plug. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.
a. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke again.
b. Check rear disc brake. Refer to BR-45, "
BRAKE CALIPER
ASSEMBLY : Inspection".
7. Adjust the cable with the following procedure.
a. Temporarily adjust the cable so that the parking brake pedal operating force immediately before the full stroke reaches 490 N (50kg, 110 lb) or more.
b. Maintain the parking brake pedal at 490 N (50kg, 110 lb) for 30 minutes or more.
c. Adjust the parking brake pedal st roke by turning the adjusting nut.
CAUTION:
Never reuse the adjusting nu t if the nut is removed.
d. Operate the parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N ( 20 kg, 44 lb). Check that the pedal stroke is within
the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening to clicks of ratchet.)
e. Rotate the disc rotor to check that there is no drag. Install the plug. If any drag is found, follow the proce-
dure described below.
i. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke again.
ii. Check rear disc brake. Refer to BR-45, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Inspection".
Number of notches : Refer to
PB-10, "
Parking Brake Control".
Number of notches : Refer to PB-10, "
Parking Brake Control".

1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke. Refer to PB-3, "Inspection and Adjustment".
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag on) operati on by driving vehicle under the following conditions:
Drive forward
 Vehicle speed: Approx. 83 km/h (51. 6 MPH) set (constant and forward)
 Parking brake pedal operating force: 255 N ( 26.0 kg, 57.3 lb) (9 notches) set contact
 Time: Approx. 33 sec.
CAUTION:
• To prevent lining from getting t oo hot, allow a cool off period of approx. 5 minutes after every
break-in operation.
 Never perform excessive break-in operations, b ecause doing so may cause uneven or early wear
of the lining.
3. After the break-in procedure, check park ing brake pedal stroke of parking brake.
CAUTION:
If it is out of the specification, adjust again. Refer to Refer to PB-3, "
Inspection and Adjustment".

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006220159
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.
