Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NFS0001M
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 Battery ServiceNFS0001N
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions for Brake SystemNFS0001O
Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Never 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.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
Use a flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a flare
nut crowfoot and torque wrench when tighten brake tube flare
nuts.
When installing brake tubes, be sure to check torque.
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 electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
the battery negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS0001P
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.

DIAGNOSIS PRECAUTIONS
Before performing the trouble diagnosis, always read the general information (GI) to confirm the general
precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precautions" .
After completing service, always erase the self-diagnosis results. Refer to BRC-19, "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" .
When inspection of the continuity or voltage between units is performed, check connector terminals for
disconnection, looseness, bend, or collapse. If any non-standard condition is detected, repair or replace
applicable part.
Intermittent errors may be caused by a poor connection in the harness, connector, or terminal. Move har-
nesses, harness connectors, or terminals by hand to make sure all connections are solid and undamaged.
If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
ABS is a system that uses electronic control to perform brake control and engine power control. There-
fore, phenomena like those shown in the following table may occur, but this is because the system is
working normally.

Basic InspectionNFS00025
BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check brake tubes or hoses and around ABS actuator for leaks. If there is leaking or oozing fluid, check
following items.
If ABS actuator connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque and re-conduct the leak
inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator screw, replace the damaged part and re-
conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator connection, if the 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, if the 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 ABS actuator body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-26, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Front Disc Brake” and
BR-39, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Rear Disc Brake”.

REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing sensor.
CAUTION:
As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.
Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts and nuts to specified torques.
When installing, check that there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting hole of
the sensor. Check that no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor motor. Remove any foreign
material and clean the mount.
When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three locations
shown in diagram (2 at shock absorbers and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness must not be
twisted. White line on harness (shaded part) must be visible from front.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramNFS0002S
TCS FunctionNFS0002T
The wheel spin occurrence of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) using the wheel speed signals from all four wheels, so when wheel spin occurs, the amount of wheel
spin is reduced by cutting the fuel to the engine, and partially closing the throttle valve to reduce the
engine torque. The throttle opening is also controlled to obtain 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 the vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly downshifts, or is driven on a
road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
ABS FunctionNFS0002U
The Anti-Lock Braking 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.
If the electrical system breaks down, then the Fail-Safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoperative,
and the ABS warning lamp turns on.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
EBD FunctionNFS0002V
The Electronic Brake Distribution 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 Pres-
sure which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
In case of electrical system break down, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the EBD and ABS becomes
inoperative, and the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
