Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front sea t belt , helps t o redu ce th e r isk or s everi ty of injury to th e driv er an d front passenge r for c ertain
types of collision. Info rmation necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inoperativ e, which cou ld increase the risk of persona l 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.
●Improper maintenance, in cluding incorrect removal a nd installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For rem ova l of Sp iral Ca ble an d Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
●Do not use electrical test equipme nt on any circuit related to the SRS unle ss instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors .

Precautions for Brake SystemAFS002LO
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-10, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS"
●Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off
and flush area with water immediately.
●Do not use mineral oils such as ga soline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
●Use flare nut torque wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
●Brake system is an important saf ety part. If a b rake fluid leak is
detected, always dis assembl e the affected part. If a malf unction
is detected, replace part with a new one.
●Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect con-
nectors of ABS a ctua tor and electric u ni t (con trol unit) or batter y
cables.
●When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
SBR686C
Precautions for Brake ControlAFS002LP
●Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine room. This is a normal status of opera tion check.
●When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (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 leak s.
●If tire size and type are us ed in an imprope r combinat ion, 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 st ereo, CD pl ayer, etc.) have bee n installe d, ch eck f or inc iden ts such as h arness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

CAN CommunicationAFS0035N
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 opera tion (not independent). In CA N communication, cont rol units are connected with 2
communicatio n lines ( CAN H lin e, CAN L li ne) all owi ng a high ra te of in forma tion tr ans missi on wit h less wir ing.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
For details, refer to LAN-21, "
In case of electrical malfunction with ABS, ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical incident with
EBD, ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, ABS become one of following conditions of Fail-Safe
function.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairAFS002LX
INTRODUCTION
●To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the mos t important to have un derstandin g about veh icle syst ems (con -
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.
●It is also important to cla rify c ustom er compla ints befo re insp ec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaint s carefully. I n some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
NOTE:
Customers are no t professionals. Do not assum e “maybe customer means...” or “maybe cus tomer mentioned this symptom”.
●It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to
repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based o n interv iew wi th cust omer and past exam ples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are c a us ed b y poor contacts. In this c a se, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunction has actually been eliminated.
●After diagnosis, make sure to perfo rm “e rase me mory”. Refer t o
BRC-19, "
●For an intermitten t malfunction, move harness or harness c on-
ERASE MEMORY" .
nector by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.
●Always read “ GI section” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-4, "General Precautions" .

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
●Be sure to check the procedures of “How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis” in advance. Refer to GI-4, "Gen-
eral Precautions" .
●Always erase memory after completing trouble diagnosis. Refer to BRC-19, "ERASE MEMORY" .
●When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse for connector terminals. Repair or replace applicable part if any non-standard condition
is detected.
●Intermittent malfunctions may be caused by a poor connection in the harness, connectors, and terminals.
Move harnesse s, ha rness co nnector s, an d termin als by hand to make sure all conne ctions are sol id and
undamaged.
●Do not to forcibly extend any connector terminal if a circuit tester is used for the check.
●The symptom shown in the table be low may occur, but the system is operat ing normally.

Just after the engine starts, the motor operating noise may be hea rd.
This is a normal status of the system operation check.
When engine starts, “click” noise may be heard from engine room. This
is normal status of system operation check.
When driving on roads with a low coefficient of friction, suc h as snow y
roads or gravel roads, the stopping distance is sometimes longer for
vehicles equipped with ABS. Therefore, when driving on such roads,
drive at a sufficiently reduced speed to be safe.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AFS002QJ
A
The Supplemental Rest raint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used al ong
with a front seat belt, helps to redu ce th e risk or se verit y of i njury to the driv er and front passenge r for ce rtain
types of col lision. Information necessary to service the system safely is includ ed in the SRS a nd SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could inc rease the risk of pe rsonal 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.
●Improper maintenanc e, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury ca use d by unintentional ac tiv atio n o f the system. For remo va l of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS sec tion.
●Do not use ele ctrical test equipmen t on any c ircuit rela ted to the SRS unless instructed to in th is
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemAFS002Q0
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-10, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS"
●Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake flu id on painted are as. If brake flu id is splashed , wipe it off and flus h area
with water immediately.
●Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
●Use flare nut torque wrench wh en removing and i ns tal li ng bra ke
tube.
●Brake syst em is an i mportant safety part. If a brak e fluid le ak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with a new one.
●Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect con-
nectors of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or battery cable.
●When install ing brake piping, be sure to check torque.

tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and
oil leaks.
●If tire size an d type are use d in an imprope r combinati on, or brake pads are not Genu ine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
●If there is a ra dio, antenna , or antenna l ead-in wire (inclu ding wiring) ne ar control mo dule, ABS func tion
may have a malfuncti on or error.
●If aftermark et parts (car ste reo, C D pla yer, etc.) have been install ed, c heck fo r inc idents s uch as harn ess
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
●If non-standard suspen sion parts (shock absorber, strut, spring, bush ing, etc.) and reinforcements (roll
bar, tower bar, etc.) are attached, or if suspension parts dete riorate significantly, VDC may not operate
normally, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on.
●If non-stand ard en gi ne comp on en t s ( m uf f l er, e tc.) are at t a che d, V DC may no t op era t e nor m al ly, V DC OF F

FunctionsAFS002O1
ABS
●The Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stabili ty during su dden brak ing by elec trically prev enting 4 whe els lock. M aneuverabil ity is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.
●Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is av ailable.
EBD
●Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear tire dur-
ing braking, and it imp roves hand ling s tability by el ectron ical ly co ntroll ing th e Brake Fluid Press ure whic h
results in reduced rear tire slippage.
●Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is av ailable.
ABLS (ACTIVE BRAKE LSD)
●Active brake LSD system is detects rotation differentials (the low µ side: high rpm, high µ side: low rpm)
which are generated to the right and left wheels when starting. And the system also controls braking
(brake hydraulic pressure) by electronic control. And then it facilitates the starts by increasing a driving
force of the wheel on the high µ side after restraining the increase of sli ps of the wheel on the low µ side.
NOTE:
µ: Coefficient of friction
CAUTION:
ABLS also operates when VDC/TCS function is cancelled after pressing VDC OFF switch.
TCS
●VDC/TCS/ABS control uni t detects a spin at drive wheels by comparing wh eel speed signals from all 4
wheels. At this time, output from control unit controls brake fluid pressure to wheels while cutting fuel to
engine and closing throttle valve to reduce engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is continuously
controlled to insure appropriate engine torque at all times.

●Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
VDC
●In addition to TCS/ ABS function, VDC detects driv er's steering operatio n amount and brak e pedal travel
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using information from yaw rate/side G sensor and
wheel sensor, VDC judges dr iv ing c on di tio n (c on di tio ns o f un de r s tee r a nd ov er s te er) to i mp r ov e stabi lit y
by controlli ng brake application to 4 wheels and engine output.
●During VDC operation, SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform driver of VDC operation.

Operation That Is Not “System Err or” AFS002O2
ABS
●When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating noise
may be heard from engine room. Thi s is a normal sta tes 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 longe r than that of vehi cles with out ABS wh en ve hicle dri ves on roug h, gra vel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
TCS
●During TCS oper ation , body and br ake peda l li ghtly vibrat e and me cha nica l noise s may be hea rd. This is
normal.
●Depending on road circumstances, driver ma y have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum
traction has highest priority under TCS operation.
●When vehicle is pass ing thro ug h a roa d w h ere surf ac e fric ti on coe fficie nt v arie s, dow n s hif tin g or de press-
ing accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
VDC
●During VDC o pe ration, body and brake pedal lightl y vibrate and me ch an ic al noises may be h ea r d. Thi s is
normal.
●If vehicle is rotated on tu rn table, or rolled and rocked on ship, ABS warning la mp, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on. In this case, start engine on normal road again. If ABS warning
lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after restart, it is normal.
●When startin g T CS or V DC un de r r a pi d ac ce le r ati on o r h ar d tur n , o pe r atin g n oi se by br a ke p edal i s ge ne r-
ated. However, this is not abnormal. This is because TCS and VDC are functioning normally.
●When driving in steep slope such as bank, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indica-
tor lamp may turn on. In this case, start engine on normal road again. If ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after restart, it is normal.
●A malfunction o rie nted Yaw rate / side G sensor may oc cur un der ha rd turn l ike sp in turn , rapid acce lera-
tion turn, drift run, etc when VDC fun ction is OFF (VDC O FF SW ON ). It is not abno rm al if it is pos si ble to

Fail-Safe FunctionAFS0038I
ABS, EBD, ABLS
In case of electrical m alfunction with the ABS, ABS warni ng lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator
lamp will turn on. In case of electrical incidents with EBD, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP
indicator lamp and brake warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the VDC/ TCS/ABS become one of the
following conditi on s of the Fail -Safe function.
1.For ABS malfun ction, onl y the EBD is a ctivated and the co ndition of the vehicle is the sam e condition of
vehicles without VDC/TCS/ABS equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 de scribed above, an ABS se lf diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a norm al condition
because a self di agnosis for “I gnition switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.
2.For EBD malfunction, the EBD, ABLS and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the
same as the condition of vehicles without VDC/TCS/ABS, EBD equipment.
3.For ABLS malfunction, only the ABLS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same
condition of vehicles without ABLS equipment.
VDC/TCS
In case of VDC/TCS system malfunction, the VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp or only VDC
OFF indicator lamp are turned on, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles
without VDC/TCS equipm ent. In case of electrical malfunction with the VDC/TCS system, the ABS control
continues to operate norma ll y with ou t VDC/ TC S control.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis Fo r Quick and Accurate RepairAFS002O6
INTRODUCTION
●Most important point to perform diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle
thoroughly.
●It is also important to c larify cust omer c ompl aints be fore in spec -
tion.
First of all, reproduce symp tom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
NOTE:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assum e “maybe customer means...” or “maybe cus tomer mentioned this symptom”.
SEF234G
●It is essentia l to che ck sy mp to ms ri gh t fro m be gi nn in g in o r der t o
repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based on interview with customer and past examples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunc t i on has ac tu all y be en eliminated.
●After diagnosi s, make s ure to p erform “eras e memo ry”. Refer to
BRC-61, "
●For an intermitte nt malfunction, move harness or ha rness con-
nector by hand t o check poor contact or fals e open circuit.
●Always read “GI section” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-4, "General Precautions" .

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
●Before performing diagnosis, always read GI section to confirm general precautions.
●If VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, steeri ng angle s ensor, steering system parts, su spension system parts, or
tires have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of steering
angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-43, "
●When replac ing VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, be sure labels on control units are same color.
●After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-61, "ERASE MEMORY" .
●When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of conn ector terminals. If any malfunc tion is found, repair or replace c onnector terminals.
●For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harne ss connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connect or, and terminals to check for poor co nnections.
●If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
●To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, active tests, or work support,
first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data link connector and
select “ABS”.
●CONSUL T-II self-diagnost ic res ult s are di splayed witho ut regar d to occu rrence timing . In so me cases l ater
ones (timing value is small) appear on the next screen.
●While self-diagn os tic res u lts of CO N SU LT-II shows a malf un ction, if CONSULT-II active test is pe rfo r me d,
an engine syst em error may be indicated. In this ca se, start engine to resume norm al screen.
●VDC/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. Following symptoms
may be caused by normal operations:

SymptomSymptom descriptionResult
This is noise of motor inside VDC actuator. Slight noise may occur dur-
Motor operation noise
System operation check
noise
TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp ON)
ABS operation (Longer stopping distance)
Insufficient feeling of acceleration
ing VDC, TCS, and ABS operation.
Just after engine starts, motor operating noise may be heard. This is a
normal status of the system operation check.
When the engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from eng in e
room. This is normal and is part of system operation check.
TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving
over location where friction coefficient varies, when downshifting, or
when fully depressing accelerator peda l.
When checking speed meter etc. with a 2-wheel - drive chassis dynamometer, vehicle speed is not increased by pressing down on the accelerator.
When driving on roads with a low coefficient of friction, such as snowy
roads or gravel roads, the stopping distance is someti me s lo nger for
vehicles equipped with ABS. Therefore, when driving on such roads,
drive at a sufficiently reduced speed to be safe.
Depending on road conditions, driver may fee l that feeling of accel er ation is insufficient. This is because traction control, which co ntrol s
engine and brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority
(for safety). As a result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly
less than usual for the same accelerator peda l ope rati on.

Basic InspectionAFS002PC
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAKAGE AND BRAKE PAD
1.Check fluid le vel in the brake fluid reservoir tank. Refill the brake flui d if fluid level is low.
2.Check the area around the brake piping and VDC actuator for leakage. If leakage or oozing is detected,
check as follows :
● If VDC actuator connections are loose, tighten piping to the specified torque. Check again for leakage,
and make sure that there is no fluid leakage.
● If the flar e nuts at the connections and the thr eads of the VDC actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leakage, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
● If leakage or oozing is detecte d on parts other than VDC actuat or connec tions, wipe with a c lean clo th
and check again. If there is still leakage or oozing, replace the damaged part.
● If leakage o r ooz i ng is de te cted on V DC ac tu at o r bo dy, wipe with a clean cloth a nd c he ck ag ai n. I f th ere
is still leakage or oozing, replace VDC actuator.
CAUTION:
