Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELTPRE-TENSIONER” used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity 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. The SRS
system composition which is available to INFINITI I35 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sensor, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring
harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo 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 should be performed by an authorized INFINITI dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
IDo 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 harness connector (and by yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape before the harness connectors).

Precautions for Brake System
IRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
ITo clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
INever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
IUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
IAlways torque brake lines when installing.
IBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings,
or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

DESCRIPTION

Purpose
Purpose
The ABS consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of braking force so that locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Ensures proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Enables obstacles to be avoided through steering wheel operation.
3) Ensures vehicle stability by preventing flat spins.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Operation
IWhen the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
IThe Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has self-test capabilities. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second after turning the ignition switch ON.The system performs another test the firsttime the vehicle
reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs a self-test. This is a
normal part of the self-test feature. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will
come on.
IDuring ABS operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.

TCS (Traction Control System) Operation
DESCRIPTION
TCS
TCS (Traction Control System) Operation
IThis system is designed to limit wheel slip during acceleration by cutting fuel to selected cylinders and
changing transmission shift schedule.
The ABS/TCS control unit monitors wheel speed slips through the ABS wheel sensors and determines the
desired torque reduction needed to minimize wheel spin.
The torque reduction by theABS/TCS control unit may result in a combination of fuel cutoff, throttle control,
and change shift timing of the transmission.
The torque reduction is sent from the ABS/TCS control unit through the data link to the ECM and TCM.
The ECM will cut off fuel and/or close throttle valve little bit, and/or TCM change shift schedule to achieve
torque reduction.
The TCS will be enabled when the TCS switch is in the ON position (TCS OFF indicator not illuminated),
and if the catalytic converter temperature is within normal operating range.
IThis system has a self-diagnostic function. When the ignition switch is initially turned “ON”, the SLIP indi-
cator lamp and TCS OFF indicator lamp light. If there is no problem with the ABS and TCS, both indicator lamps will go out as soon as the engine starts.
IThe TCS OFF switch cancels the TCS function. The TCS OFF indicator lamp then lights to indicate that
the TCS is not operating.
IThis system utilizes a fuel-cut function to control drive torque. If fuel cut continues for an extended period
of time during high-speed operations, the catalyst may melt and deteriorate. During continued TCS
operations, the system will sometimes suspend the drive torque control function, preventing catalyst melting and deterioration.

System Description
SENSOR
The front sensor units consist of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a
sensor element. the element contains a magnet and IC. The front
wheel sensors are installed on the front of the wheel knuckles. As
the wheel rotates, the sensor generates a square-wave signal. The
frequency increase as the wheel speed increases.
CONTROL UNIT
ABS Function
The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the signal
current sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current to the
actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation of the
valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction should be
detected in the system, the warning lamp is turned on. In this
condition, the ABS will be deactivated, and the vehicle’s brake
system reverts to normal operation.
TCS Function
Drive wheel slippage is detected by the 4-wheel rotating speed
signal. When the wheel slip becomes excessive, theTCS operates,
causing the SLIP indicator lamp to flash. And, at the same time,
fuel-cut and throttle opening signals are sent to the ECM and a
signal requiring a change in the shift schedule is sent to the TCM.
When the TCS OFF switch is used tocancel TCS function,the TCS
OFF indicator lamp will light. (TCS does not activate.) In case of a
malfunction in the TCS, both the SLIP indicator lamp and the TCS
OFF indicator lamp will light, while shutting down the TCS system
operation. The vehicle will operate in the same way as a vehicle
not equipped with the TCS.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — INTRODUCTION
How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick and Accurate Repair
How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
INTRODUCTION
TheABS/TCS system has an electronic control unit to controlmajor
functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives actuator. It is essential that both kinds of signals are
proper and stable. It is also important to check for conventional
incidents: such as air leaks in the booster or lines, lack of brake
fluid, or other incidents with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose an incident that occurs inter-
SEF233G
SEF234G
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent incidents are
caused by poor electric connections or non-standard 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 incidents, so a
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk
with a customer who approaches with an ABS/TCS complaint. The
customer is a very good source of information on such incidents;
especially intermittent ones. 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” incidents first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake incidents on an
ABS/TCS controlled vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins
for information.

CAN COMMUNICATION
TCS
System Description
System Description
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many
electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control unitsare connected with
2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELTPRE-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 this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo 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.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
IDo 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 harness connector.

INever reuse drained brake fluid.
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may
cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on painted
areas, wash it away with water immediately.
INever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will
ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
IUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
IAlways torque brake lines when installing.
IBefore working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the connectors for the VDC/TCS/ABS actuator and control unit
or the battery terminals.
IBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac-
ing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to Brake Burnishing
Procedure.

Precautions for Brake Control
NHBR0248
IDuring the VDC/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates
lightly and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.
IJust after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the
brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating noise may be
heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of
the operation check.
IThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles
without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
IIf a malfunction is indicated by theABS warning lamp, or other
warning lamps, collect the necessary information from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and
find out the possible causes before starting the service.
Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster
operation, brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
IIf the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or
the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine parts, the stopping
distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
IIf there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including
wiring) near the control unit, the VDC/TCS/ABS function may
have a malfunction or error.
IIf aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player)
have been installed, check the electrical harnesses for
pinches, open, and improper wiring.

ABS Functions
1.In cases of braking suddenly or braking on slippery road (ice
road), ABS functions prevent wheels from lock, improve the
stability in sudden braking, and make efficient avoidance of
obstacles with steering manipulation by detecting 4-wheel
speed and controlling 4-wheel brake fluid pressure.
2.EBD is integrated in VDC/TCS/ABS system.

ABS Functions (Cont’d)
GENERAL INFORMATION
IWhen starting the engine, or just after starting the vehicle,
the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating noise
may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a
normal status of the operation check.
IThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles
without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
VDC
TCS Functions
1.With the wheel speed sensor signals from 4 wheels, the VDC/
TCS/ABS control unit detects a wheel spin. If a wheel spins,
the control unit controls brake fluid pressure to the spinning
wheel, and cuts the fuel to the engine. Italso closes the throttle
valve to reduce the engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is controlled to the appropriate engine torque.
2.During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation
by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:
IDuring TCS operation, the body and the brake pedal
lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
IDepending on road circumstances, the driver may have a
sluggish feel. This is not abnormal, because the optimum
traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.
IWhen the vehicle is passing through a road where the
surfacefrictioncoefficientvaries,downshiftingor
depressing the accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS
temporarily.
VDC Functions
1.In addition to the ABS/TCS function, VDC detects the driver’s
steering operation amount and brake operation amount from
the steering anglesensor and pressure sensor.Using the information from the yaw rate/side G sensor and wheel speed
sensors, VDC judges the driving condition (conditions of
understeer and oversteer) to improve the stability by controlling the brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
2.During VDC operation, the SLIP indicator lamp flashes to
inform the driver of the operation.
CAUTION:
IDuring VDC operation, the body and the brake pedal
lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
IIf the vehicle is rotated on a turn table, or rolled and
rocked on a ship, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this
case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the ABS
warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn OFF after the restart, it is normal.
IWhen driving in a steep slope such as a bank, the ABS
warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a
