AIR PRESSURE MONITOR
AIR PRESSURE MONITOR : Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776404
DESCRIPTION
During driving, the TPMS receives the signal transmitt
ed from the transmitter installed in each wheel, when
the tire pressure becomes low. The control unit (BC M) of this system has pressure judgment and trouble diag-
nosis functions.
When the TPMS detects low inflation pressure or anot her unusual symptom, the warning lamps in the combi-
nation meter comes on.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC PROCE DURE (WITH CONSULT-III)
With CONSULT-III
 Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” display to show malf unction experienced since the last erasing operation.
Refer to BCS-51, "DTC Index"
.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC PROCE DURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-III)
Without CONSULT-III
To start the self-diagnostic results mode, ground terminal of the tire pressure warning check connector. The
malfunction location is indicated by the warning lamp flashing.
NOTE:
When the low tire warning lamp flashes 5 Hz and continues repeating it, the system is normal.
Test Item Operation Description
OIL PRESSURE SW OFF OFF

4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,shims, and shim covers from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,
lift it in the direction indi cated by the arrow as shown so
that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
In the case of replacing a pad with new one, ch eck the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank
because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a suitable tool to easily press piston.
2. Apply Molykote AS-880N grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install inner shim, inner shim cover to inner pad, and install outer shim, outer shim cover to outer pad.
3. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member. CAUTION:
• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they ar e not being lifted up from torque member.
• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on the pad retainer. Install pad return lever
securely to pad wear sensor.
4. Install cylinder body to torque member.
5. Install sliding pin bolts, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-29, "
Removal and Installation of
Brake Pads".
6. Check front disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
7. Install front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-41, "
Adjustment".
8. Check brake fluid level. Refer to BR-17, "

Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000005856029
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

Front Suspension PartsINFOID:0000000003772269
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.
• Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then check
ball joint end play. Refer to FA X - 6 , "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Ser-
vice" and FSU-10, "Inspection".
• Make sure that the cotter pin is inserted (4WD only).
• Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
• Check shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.
• Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentINFOID:0000000003772270
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specificat ion, inspect and replace any damaged or worn suspension parts before making
any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-40, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FA X - 6 , "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-24, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)" .
• Verify the level using Consult-III memory register 1103 and set to 0 ± 10 mm (0 ± 0.39 in) as necessary.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be ca pable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level. Suspension component

• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both front tires at the same height as hub center as shown. These marks are
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance (A) on the rear side of the front tires as shown.
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 °
degrees (1/2 a turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 ° degrees (1/2
turn), start this procedure again from the beginning. Never
push the vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance (B) on the front side of the front tires at the
same marks as shown. Total toe- in is calculated as (A) - (B).
7. Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer socket.
a. Loosen the outer tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Adjust the toe-in by screwing the outer tie-rods in or out.
c. Tighten the outer tie-rod lock nuts to specification.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
NOTE:
Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.
1. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges in straight ahead position and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
2. Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle.
