Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951710
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 three minutes before performing any service.

PEDAL STROKE
1. Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20.0 kg-f, 44.1 lb-f), make sure pedal stroke is within
the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
2. When brake warning lamp turns ON, check that the pedal stroke is within the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening to the clicks of the ratchet.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS
• Make sure that the mounting conditions (loosenes s, backlash, etc.) of each component are normal.
• Check the following:
- Device assembly for bend, damage and cracks. Replace if necessary.
- Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if necessary.
- Parking brake switch. Replace if necessary.
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009462913
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove rear wheel and tire using power tool. Refer to WT-55, "Adjustment".
2. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake pedal.
3. Secure both disc rotors to hubs using wheel nuts so as not to tilt the disc rotors.
4. Remove both adjuster hole plugs installed on the disc rotors. Turn the adjusters in direction (A) using a suitable tool or a flat-
bladed screwdriver as shown, until disc rotors are locked. Turn
the adjusters in the opposite direction by 5 or 6 notches after
locking.
5. Rotate the disc rotors to make sure that there is no drag. Install the adjuster hole plugs.
6. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. Rotate the adjusting nut to adjust parking brake pedal operating force to 490 N (50.0 kg-f, 110.2 lb-f) just before a full pedal
stroke of 201.65 mm (7.94 in).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
b. When replacing parking brake cable, operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with a full stroke of 201.65 mm (7.94 in).
c. Release the parking brake pedal and rotate the disc rotors to make sure there is no drag. Pedal stroke number of notches : Refer to
PB-11, "Parking Brake Control"
.

d. Rotate the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brak e pedal force to 196 N (20.0 kg-f, 44.1 lb-f) when the
parking brake pedal stroke is within the specified number of notches. (check it by listening and counting
the ratchet clicks).
e. After adjustment, check that there is no drag with the parking brake pedal is being released. If drag exists,
perform the following:
• Remove the rear disc rotors, refer to BR-36, "BRAKE CALI-
PER ASSEMBLY : Removal and Installation". Verify the toggle
pedals return to the stoppers when the parking brake lever is
released.
• If a toggle lever does not return to a stopper, loosen adjusting nut.
• Install the rear disc rotor and adjust the shoe clearance. Refer to BR-40, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
: Removal and Installation".
7. Install rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-55, "Adjustment"
.
Pedal stroke number of notches : Refer to

LINING THICKNESS INSPECTION
• Check thickness of lining.
DRUM INNER DIAMETER INSPECTION
• Check inner diameter of drum in rear disc rotor using a suitabletool.
OTHER INSPECTIONS
• Check the following:
- Lining for excessive wear, damage, and peeling.
- Shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.
- Anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.
