Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NJBR0139The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN 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 RS 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 harness connector.

Precautions for Brake SystemNJBR0002+Recommended fluid is brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
+To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
+Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.
+Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings,
or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to ªBrake Burnishing Procedureº, ªON-VEHICLE
SERVICEº, BR-8.
WARNING:
+Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.

ROTORNJBR0145S02Rubbing SurfaceNJBR0145S0201Check rotor for roughness, cracks or chips.
RunoutNJBR0145S02021. Secure rotor to wheel hub with two nuts (M12 x 1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that axial end play is within the specifications
before measuring. Refer to AX section (ªREAR WHEEL
BEARINGº, ªOn-vehicle Serviceº).
3. Change relative positions of rotor and wheel hub so that runout
is minimized.
Maximum runout:

InstallationNJBR0146CAUTION:
+Refill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Do not drain (factory) filled brake fluid from (new) caliper
assemblies.
1. Install caliper assembly.
+As shown in the figure, align the piston's concave to the pad's
convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque member.
2. Remove the plug from the cylinder body and brake hose.
CAUTION:
Care should be taken as not to let:
+Air enter the cylinder body and brake hose.
+Brake fluid spill from the cylinder body and brake hose.
3. Install brake hose to caliper securely.
4. Install all parts and secure all bolts.
5. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-9.

+Install pipe connector.
+Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-pres-
sure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tightening
will damage threads of connector or O-ring.
Connector tightening torque:
1 Low-pressure side
27 - 39 N´m (2.8 - 4.0 kg-m, 20 - 29 ft-lb)
2 High-pressure side
15 - 25 N´m (1.5 - 2.5 kg-m, 11 - 18 ft-lb)
+The O-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that
in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the proper
O-ring.
SST824A
+Initially, tighten nut on tie-rod outer socket and knuckle arm to
29 to 39 N´m (3 to 4 kg-m, 22 to 29 ft-lb). Then tighten further
to align nut groove with first pin hole so that cotter pin can be
installed.
CAUTION:
Tightening torque must not exceed 49 N´m (5 kg-m, 36 ft-lb).
NOTE:
Only the dust boot, tie-rod inner socket and tie-rod outer socket can
be disassembled on models for Europe.
SST819A
+Before removing lower joint from gear, set gear in neutral
(wheels in straight-ahead position). After removing lower joint,
put matching mark on pinion shaft and pinion housing to record
neutral position.
+To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection.
Attach lower joint by aligning matching marks of pinion shaft
and pinion housing.
+Tighten gear housing mounting bracket bolts.
SST862CB
DisassemblyNJST00231. Prior to disassembling, measure pinion rotating torque. Record
the pinion rotating torque as a reference.
+Before measuring, disconnect gear housing tube and
drain fluid.
+Use soft jaws when holding steering gear housing. Handle
gear housing carefully, as it is made of aluminum. Do not
grip cylinder in a vise.
2. Remove gear sub-assembly, O-ring and shim.
Gear sub-assembly cannot be disassembled. If it is faulty,
replace with a new one.

Precautions
PRECAUTIONSNJSU0001+When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be car-
ried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushes. Be sure to wipe
off any spilled oil.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment and adjust if necessary.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.
+Lock nuts are unreusable parts; always use new ones.
When replacing, do not wipe the oil off the new lock nut
before tightening.
