< SERVICE INFORMATION > [ABS]
PRECAUTIONS
A
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000002978769

B
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
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 C
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• 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 D
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• 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 E
Module, see the SRS section.
• 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-
BRC
ness connectors.
Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000003219563

G
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
• Only use DOT 3 brake fluid. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants". H
• Never to reuse drained brake fluid.
• Never to 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.
• Never to use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil. They may damage rubber parts and cause improper I
operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a flare J
nut torque wrench (A).
• Always conform the specified tightening torque when installing the
brake pipes.
• Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is K
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction is
detected, replace part with a new one.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and L
electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal
before performing the work.

Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000002978771

• Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be N
heard from engine room. 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 O
(what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting diagnostic
servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid
leaks. P
• If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
• If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including 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, and improper wiring.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Schematic INFOID:0000000002978773

JSFIA0136GB

Functions INFOID:0000000002978774

ABS
• The Anti-Lock Braking System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves han-
dling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheels lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.
• Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
EBD
• Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear tire during
braking, and it improves handling stability by electrically controlling the brake fluid pressure which results in
reduced rear tire slippage.
• Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
Operation That Is Not "System Error" INFOID:0000000002978775

ABS
• When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating noise may
be heard from engine room. This is a normal states of the operation check.
• During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
Fail-Safe Function INFOID:0000000002978776

ABS, EBD SYSTEM

In case of electrical malfunction with ABS, ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical incidents with
EBD, brake warning lamp and ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, ABS become one of following
conditions of Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS malfunction, only EBD is activated and condition of vehicle is same condition of vehicles without
ABS system.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard.That is a normal condition because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition
switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.
2. For EBD malfunction, EBD and ABS become inoperative, and condition of vehicle is same as condition of
vehicles without ABS, EBD system.
