BRAKE FLUIDPFP:KN100
On-Board Inspection NFS000OU
CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Make sure that a brake fluid level in reservoir tank is within the
standard (between MAX and MIN lines).
Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leakage.
If the level is excessively low, check brake system for leakage.
Release parking brake pedal and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineNFS000OV
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Drain and RefillNFS000OW
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3”.
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Be 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.
Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleed valve, and gradually remove
brake fluid.

BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
3. Remove union bolts, and then remove brake hose from brake
caliper assembly.
4. Remove lock plate and then remove brake hose from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the union bolt and copper washer to the brake hose.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper washer.
2. Attach L-shape metal fitting of the brake hose to brake caliper assembly positioning hole, and then tighten
union bolt to the specified torque. Refer to BR-12, "
Hydraulic Circuit" .
3. Connect brake hose to brake tube, partially tighten flare nut by hand as much as possible, then secure it
to the bracket with lock plate.
4. Using a flare nut torque wrench, tighten flare nut to the specified torque. Refer to BR-12, "
Hydraulic Cir-
cuit" .
5. Refill brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-11, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
Inspection after InstallationNFS000P1
CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
tings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is
detected.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) and connections for fluid leakage, damage, twists, deformation, con-
tacts with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any damage parts.
2. While depressing brake pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg, 177 lb) with engine running for approximately
5 seconds, then check each part for fluid leakage.

BRAKE BOOSTER
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
BRAKE BOOSTERPFP:47200
On-Board Inspection and ServiceNFS000P6
OPERATION CHECK
With engine stopped, change vacuum to atmospheric pressure by
depressing brake pedal several times. Then with brake pedal fully
depressed, start engine and when vacuum pressure reaches the
standard, make sure that clearance between brake pedal and floor
panel decreases.
AIR TIGHT CHECK
Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute, and stop it after
applying vacuum to booster. Depress brake pedal normally to
change vacuum to atmospheric pressure. Make sure that dis-
tance at intervals of 5 seconds between brake pedal and floor
panel gradually increases.
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change after
holding pedal down for 30 seconds.

Removal and InstallationNFS000P9
CAUTION:
Because vacuum hose contains a check valve, it must be
installed in the correct position. Refer to the stamp to con-
firm correct installation. Brake booster will not operate nor-
mally if the hose is installed in the wrong direction.
Insert vacuum hose at least 24 mm (0.94 in).
Do not use lubricating oil during assembly.
InspectionNFS000PA
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check for correct assembly, damage and deterioration.
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
Airtightness Inspection
Use a handy vacuum pump to check.
Replace vacuum hose assembly if vacuum hose and check
valve are malfunctioning.
SBR225B
When connected to the booster side (1):
Vacuum should decrease within 1.3 kPa (10
mmHg, 0.39 inHg) for 15 seconds under a vacuum
of
66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg).
When connected to the engine side (2):
Vacuum should not exist.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS000Q1
Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
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 oil leaks.
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.
ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in
wire near the control unit.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
VDC system may not operate normally or a VDC OFF indicator lamp or SLIP indicator lamp may light.
–When replacing the following parts with parts other than genuine parts or making modifications: Suspen-
sion-related parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing, etc.), tires, wheels (other than specified sizes), brake-
related parts (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), engine-related parts (muffler, ECM, etc.) and body reinforcement-
related parts (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
–When driving with worn or deteriorated suspension, tires and brake-related parts.
