PRECAUTIONS

[ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS005X6
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
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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper 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.

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
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS004GX

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.

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 gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.

Using a flare nut torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube
flare nuts.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak 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 har-
ness connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
or battery cable from negative terminal.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS004FV

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or 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 malfunction 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 start-
ing diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level,
and oil leaks.

If tyre 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.

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

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramEFS004FZ
ABS FunctionEFS004G0

The Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.

In case of the electrical system breaks down, then the Fail-Safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and the ABS warning lamp turns on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
EBD FunctionEFS004G1

Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the Brake Fluid Pressure
which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of the electrical system break down, then the Fail-Safe function is starts, the EBD and ABS
becomes inoperative, and the ABS warning lamp is turned on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004G2
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of the electrical problems with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical prob-
lem with the EBD, ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ABS become one of the following condi-
tions of the Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as
the condition of vehicles without ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an 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.

CAN COMMUNICATION

CAN COMMUNICATIONPFP:23710
System DescriptionEFS0067G
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic 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 units are 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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
How to Proceed With DiagnosisEFS004G6
BASIC CONCEPT

Most important point to perform diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle
thoroughly.

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, 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 assume “maybe cus-
tomer means...” or “maybe customer 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 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 malfunction has actually been eliminated.

After diagnosis, make sure to carry out “erase memory”. Refer to
BRC-28, "
Operation Procedure" .

Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precau-
tions. Refer to GI-4, "
General Precautions" .
