Basic InspectionNFS000NI
BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake piping and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or oozing fluid, check the following items.

If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten piping to the specified torque
and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.

If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.

When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, if fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for
leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace the damaged part.

When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), if fluid is just oozing
out, use a clean cloth to wipe off oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body can not be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-19, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Front Disc Brake” and
BR-25, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Rear Disc Brake”
POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. If looseness is
detected, tighten the cables. In addition, check the battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alter-
nator is normal.
ABS WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LAMP AND BRAKE
WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
× : ON –: OFF
Note 1:Brake warning lamp will turn on in case of operating parking brake (switch turned on) or of actuating brake fluid level switch
(brake fluid is insufficient).
Note 2:After starting engine, turn OFF.
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp (when VDC OFF switch is OFF), and SLIP indica- tor lamp turn on approximately 2 second, and brake warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned
ON. If they do not, check VDC OFF indicator lamp and then VDC OFF switch. Refer to BRC-52, "
VDC
OFF SWITCH" . Check CAN communications. Refer to “CAN Communication Inspection”. If there are no
errors with VDC OFF switch and CAN communication system, check combination meter. Refer to DI-5,
"COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp turn off approximately 2 sec- ond after turn ignition switch ON, and brake warning lamp turns off after engine starts. If lamps do not turn
off, perform self-diagnosis.

3. With engine running, make sure VDC OFF indicator lamp turns on and off when VDC OFF switch is
turned ON and OFF. If indicator lamp status does not correspond to switch operation, check the VDC OFF
switch system. Refer to BRC-52, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" .
4. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off 2 seconds after engine is started. If ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp have not turned
off 10 seconds after engine has been started, perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).
5. After performing the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to BRC-25, "
Self-Diagnosis"
.
NOTE:
Brake warning lamp turns on when parking brake is operated (switch on) and brake fluid level switch is acti-
vated (leak of brake fluid).

Removal and InstallationNFS000O6
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove LH side fender protector. Refer to EI-24, "
FENDER PROTECTOR" .
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting nuts.
5. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

If the part number on the part number label (pasted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit) can not be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator
lamp may turn ON or VDC/TCS/ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.

Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.

To remove brake tube, use a flare nut torque wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from
being damaged. To install, use a flare nut torque wrench (commercial service tool) and tighten to
the specified torque.

Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.

Do not remove and install ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) by holding harness.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NBS003JN
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. 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.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 Liquid GasketNBS003JO
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface using the seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.

In areas where seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic ham-
mer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver
is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid
gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur- face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

InspectionNBS003JU
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” when the engine is cool.

Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
LEAK CHECK

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (SST).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantNBS003JV
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when the engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer
to EM-124, "
DISASSEMBLY" .
3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
