PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NCS001JC
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 On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of A/T and EngineNCS001JD
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:

Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative termi-
nal before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, sole-
noid valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.

Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)

Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.

Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.

Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
TCS

Traction Control System is a function that electronically controls engine torque, brake fluid pressure and
A/T gear position to ensure the optimum slippage ratio at drive wheels by computing wheel speed signals
from 4 wheel sensors. When ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) detects a spin at drive wheels
(rear wheels), it compares wheel speed signals from all 4 wheels. At this time, LH and RH rear brake fluid
pressure are controlled, while fuel being cut to engine and throttle valve being closed to reduce engine
torque by the control unit. Further more, throttle position is continuously controlled to ensure the optimum
engine torque at all times.

During TCS operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
VDC

Vehicle Dynamics Control system detects driver's steering operation amount and brake pedal travel from
steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using information from yaw rate/side G sensor and wheel
sensor, VDC judges driving condition (conditions of under steer and over steer) to improve vehicle driving
stability by controlling brake application to 4 wheels and engine output.

During VDC operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
ECD
Receives deceleration degree commandment value signal from ICC sensor integrated unit, and controls brake
fluid pressure with the motor [built-in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)].
Operation That Is Not "System Error" NFS000Q7
ABS

When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating sound
may be heard from engine room. This is a normal states of the operation check.

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

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
TCS

Depending on road circumstances, driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum
traction has highest priority under TCS operation.

When vehicle is passing through a road where surface friction varies, downshifting or depressing acceler-
ator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
VDC

During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical sounds may be heard. This is
normal.

If vehicle is rotated on turn table, or rolled and rocked on ship, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator
lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on. In this case, start engine on normal road again. If ABS warn-
ing lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after restart, it is normal.

When starting TCS or VDC under rapid acceleration or hard turn, operating sound by brake pedal is gen-
erated. However, this is not malfunction. This is because TCS and VDC are functioning normally.

VDC may not operate normally or ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp
may turn on when driving special roads with extremely steep slant (banks on circuit road and so on.) How-
ever, it is not malfunction when returning to a normal state after restarting the engine. In that case, be sure
to erase the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-24, "
ERASE MEMORY" .

Yaw rate /side G sensor malfunction may occur under hard turn like spin turn, rapid acceleration turn, drift
run, etc., when VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF switch is turned on). It is not malfunction if it is possible to
return to a normal position after restarting engine. Then erase the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to
BRC-24, "
ERASE MEMORY" .

VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure
warning lamp turns on. This is not a VDC system error but results from characteristic change of tires.
