INFOID:0000000001612923
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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.
Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000001327654
Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-9.
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 crowfoot and torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube flare nuts.
Brake system is an important safe ty 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 electrical
connectors of ABS actuator and elec tric unit (control unit) or bat-
tery negative terminal.
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.
Precaution for Brake ControlINFOID:0000000001327655
During VDC/TCS/ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vi brates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
Just after starting vehicle after turning ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise
may be heard from engine room. 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 error 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 starting diagnostic
servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, c heck booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.
If tire size and type are used in an improper 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, VDC/TCS/ABS
function may have a malfunction or error.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

PRECAUTIONS
If the following components are replaced with non-genui
ne components or converted, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorber, strut, spring, bushing, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (pad, rotor, caliper, etc. ), components related to engine (muffler, ECM, etc.),
components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly.
When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden accele ration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (s uch as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate nor mally, or VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indi-
cator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restart-
ing engine.
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns) , drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
SW ON) may cause the G sensor system indicate a malf unction. However, this is not a malfunction, if nor-
mal operation can be resumed after restarting engine.
Change 4 tires at a time. Be sure to use specified- size tires that have the same brand name and pattern.
Wheel sensor errors can be detected be self-diagnosis when tires have wide abrasion variations or the size
is different from the genuine tires.

VDC
In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver
steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steering /
over steering) is determined from information from G s ensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information is used
to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.
SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.
ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is subject
to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehi cle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope such as
bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning lamp, VDC
OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS
The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the wheel
speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs , drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure con-
trol and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engi\
ne torque and
decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree throttle is opened is controlled to achieve the
optimum engine torque.
Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.
TCS may be activated any time vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/upshifts, or is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
During TCS operation, it informs a driver of sy stem operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
ABS
The Anti-Lock Braking System is a function that detec ts wheel revolution while braking, and it improves han-
dling stability during sudden braking by electrically prev enting 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also improved
for avoiding obstacles.
If the electrical system malfunc tions, then the fail-safe function star ts, the ABS becomes inoperative, and
ABS warning lamp turns on.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises 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.
EBD
The Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by elec tronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
In case of electrical system malfunction, the fail- safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inopera-
tive, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
During EBD operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without EBD when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

Most important point to perform diagnosis is to unders tand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle thor-
oughly.
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 cus-
tomer.
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 symp-
tom 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 mal-
function has actually been eliminated.
After diagnosis, make sure to perform “erase memory”. Refer to BRC-26, "
Self-Diagnosis".
For an intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness connec- tor by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.
Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precaution".
