SERVICE INFORMATION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000008945035
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING: D
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
BRC
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
G
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- H
tion 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 I
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000008945036
J
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air. K
CAUTION:
• Brake fluid use refer to MA-9, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid. L
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe
it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-
ponents. M
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and
cause improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench. N
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with
crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when install-
ing the brake pipes. O
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery nega-
tive terminal before performing the work. P
• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing
the parts.
• Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac-
ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at
JPFIA0001ZZ
very low mileage. Refer to BR-26, "Brake Burnishing Proce-
dure".

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000008945037
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from engine
compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer
(what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting diagnosis.
Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.
• If incorrect tire size or type are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts, stop-
ping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
• If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near control module, ABS function may have a malfunction or
error.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.

INTRODUCTION
The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major func-
tions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and con-
trols actuator operation. It is also important to check for air leaks in
the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other malfunctions in the
brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent conditions are
caused by poor electrical connections or damaged wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunction, so a
AWFIA0367GB
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS complaint. The customer
is a very good source of information, especially for intermittent condi-
tions. Through the talks with the customer, find out what symptoms
are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on
an ABS equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins for
information.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• A customer’s description of a vehicle concern may vary depending
on the individual. It is important to clarify the customer’s concern.
• Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under what
conditions. Use this information to reproduce the symptom while
driving.
• It is also important to use the diagnosis sheet to understand what
type of symptoms the customer is experiencing.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAK AND BRAKE PAD INSPECTION

1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If fluid level is low, add fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is
leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
• If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified
torque and recheck for leaks.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• If there is damage to the connection flare nuts or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) threads,
replace the damaged part and recheck for leaks.
• When there is fluid leaking or seeping from a fluid connection, use a clean cloth to wipe off the fluid and
recheck for leaks. If fluid is still seeping out, replace the damaged part. If the fluid is leaking at the ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit), replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced
as an assembly.
3. Check the brake pads for excessive wear.

Self-Diagnosis (Without CONSULT-III) INFOID:0000000008945052
DESCRIPTION
When a malfunction occurs in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp illuminates. To begin the self-diagnosis proce-
dure, ground the self-diagnosis check terminal located in the data link connector. The ABS warning lamp
flashes to indicate the corresponding malfunction code.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Drive vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Ground terminal 9 of the data link connector with a suitable harness.
4. Turn ignition switch ON while grounding terminal 9.
Do not depress brake pedal.
5. After 3 seconds, the ABS warning lamp begins flashing to indicate the malfunction code number. Refer to
“HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS”.
NOTE:
Self-diagnosis terminates after 5 minutes. However, when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON,
self-diagnosis starts flashing again.
6. Verify the location of the malfunction using the self-diagnosis malfunction code chart. Refer to “SELF-
DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION CODE CHART”.
7. Make the necessary repairs following the diagnosis procedures.
8. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction codes stored in the control unit. Refer to “HOW
TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS”.
9. Rerun steps 1 through 5 to verify that the malfunction codes have been erased.
10. Disconnect the check terminal from ground. The self-diagnosis procedure is now complete.
11. Check ABS warning lamp for deactivation after driving vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one
minute.
12. After making certain that the ABS warning lamp does not come on, test the ABS in a safe area to verify
that it functions properly.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS
1. Determine the malfunction code number by counting the number of times the ABS warning lamp flashes
on and off.
2. When several malfunctions occur at one time, up to three codes can be stored. The latest malfunction will
be indicated first.
3. Self-diagnosis begins with a start code 12. After that a maximum of three codes appear in the order of lat-
est occurring malfunction first. Self-diagnosis then returns to the start code 12 to repeat (self-diagnosis will
stay on for 5 minutes at the most).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair INFOID:0000000008945079
INTRODUCTION
The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major func-
tions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and con-
trols actuator operation. It is also important to check for air leaks in
the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other malfunctions in the
brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent conditions are
caused by poor electrical connections or damaged wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunction, so a
AWFIA0367GB
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS complaint. The customer
is a very good source of information, especially for intermittent condi-
tions. Through the talks with the customer, find out what symptoms
are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on
an ABS equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins for
information.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAK AND BRAKE PAD INSPECTION

1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If fluid level is low, add fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is
leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
• If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified
torque and recheck for leaks.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• If there is damage to the connection flare nuts or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) threads,
replace the damaged part and recheck for leaks.
• When there is fluid leaking or seeping from a fluid connection, use a clean cloth to wipe off the fluid and
recheck for leaks. If fluid is still seeping out, replace the damaged part. If the fluid is leaking at the ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit), replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced
as an assembly.
3. Check the brake pads for excessive wear.

Self-Diagnosis (Without CONSULT-III) INFOID:0000000008945087
DESCRIPTION
When a malfunction occurs in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp illuminates. To begin the self-diagnosis proce-
dure, ground the self-diagnosis check terminal located in the data link connector. The ABS warning lamp
flashes to indicate the corresponding malfunction code.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Drive vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute.
3. Ground terminal 9 of the data link connector with a suitable harness.
4. Turn ignition switch ON while grounding terminal 9.
Do not depress brake pedal.
5. After 3 seconds, the ABS warning lamp begins flashing to indicate the malfunction code number. Refer to
“HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS”.
NOTE:
Self-diagnosis terminates after 5 minutes. However, when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON,
self-diagnosis starts flashing again.
6. Verify the location of the malfunction using the self-diagnosis malfunction code chart. Refer to “SELF-
DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION CODE CHART”.
7. Make the necessary repairs following the diagnosis procedures.
8. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction codes stored in the control unit. Refer to “HOW
TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS”.
9. Rerun steps 1 through 5 to verify that the malfunction codes have been erased.
10. Disconnect the check terminal from ground. The self-diagnosis procedure is now complete.
11. Check ABS warning lamp for deactivation after driving vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one
minute.
12. After making certain that the ABS warning lamp does not come on, test the ABS in a safe area to verify
that it functions properly.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
1. Determine the malfunction code number by counting the number of times the ABS warning lamp flashes
on and off. A
2. When several malfunctions occur at one time, up to three codes can be stored. The latest malfunction will
be indicated first.
3. Self-diagnosis begins with a start code 12. After that a maximum of three codes appear in the order of lat- B
est occurring malfunction first. Self-diagnosis then returns to the start code 12 to repeat (self-diagnosis will
stay on for 5 minutes at the most).
4. Self-diagnosis malfunction codes are listed in the “SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION CODE CHART” C

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MALFUNCTION RESULTS P

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
1. Disconnect the check terminal from ground. ABS warning lamp
will remain illuminated.
2. Within 12.5 seconds, ground the check terminal three times.
Each terminal ground must last more than 1 second. The ABS
warning lamp goes out after the erase operation has been com-
pleted.
3. Perform self-diagnosis procedure again. Refer to “SELF-DIAG-
NOSIS PROCEDURE” Only the start code “12” should appear,
no malfunction codes.
