BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : Inspection
INFOID:0000000006220939
 Check that the fluid level in the sub tank is within the specified range (MAX – MIN lines).
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the ignition switch an d depress the brake pedal 20 times or more to check brake fluid level.
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is in the accumulator in pressurized condition, the reservoir tank brake fluid level should be
lower than the MAX line.
 Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
 Check the brake system for any leakage if the fl uid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
 Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warn ing lamp remains illuminated even after the parking
brake is released.
 Check the sub tank for the mixing of foreign ma tter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid.
BRAKE LINES AND CABLES
BRAKE LINES AND CABLES : InspectionINFOID:0000000006220940
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 490 N (50 kg, 110lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 seconds with the engine run-
ning. Check for any fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable conn ection to the specified torque
and repair any abnormal (damag ed, worn or deformed) part
if any brake fluid leakage is present).
BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID : Bleeding Brake SystemINFOID:0000000006220941
CAUTION:
 Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
 The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and br ake warning lamp turn ON and DTC “C118E” may
be detected in self-diagnosis r esult for “ABS” with CONSULT-II I when the brake pedal is excessively
operated, such as air bleeding. Thi s is not a system malfunction becau se this occurs due to the tem-
porary decrease in accumulator fl uid pressure. The system returns to normal condition when the
accumulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pressu re with the ignition switch ON and the VDC
warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warnin g lamp turn OFF. After these steps, erase self-
diagnosis results for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.
- DTC other than “C118E” is detected: Refer to BRC-51, "
DTC Index".
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is ON, the brake warning la mp may turns ON even when the parking brake pedal is
released with the brake fluid within the specified level. This indicates the decrease in accumulator fluid pres-
sure.
MOTOR/ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.

POWER STEERING FLUID AND LINES
POWER STEERING FLUID AND LINES : InspectionINFOID:0000000006220946
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F).
CAUTION:
 Do not overfill.
 Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chaf ing and deterioration.
 Check rack boots for accumulati on of power steering fluid.
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS : InspectionINFOID:0000000006220947
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
 Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
 Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
 Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
 Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
 Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust
cover for cracks or other damage.
