Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BFS000CK
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
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 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 Brake SystemBFS000CL

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”. Refer to MA-14, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder and disc brake caliper, use clean brake fluid.

Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will
ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.

Using a flare nut wrench when removing flare nuts, and use a
flare nut torque wrench when tighten brake tube flare nuts.

When installing brake tubes, be sure to check torque.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
battery negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with
a dust collector.
Precautions for Brake ControlBFS000CM

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 room. This is a normal condition 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 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 fluid 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.

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, 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.

STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceBGS0003S
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check steering gear assembly mounting nut and bolts for looseness. Refer to PS-17, "COMPONENTS" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY

Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on
the outer circumference.

When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of power steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL

Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column and steering wheel are installed in the correct
position.

Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.

Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is
approximately 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).]
NOTE:
Tires need to be inflated normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360° from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance L from the hook of spring balance to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
balance.
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check
rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Regarding relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump, refer to PS-29,
"CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE" .
a. Disconnect lower shaft and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to FAX-5, "
COMPO-
NENT" , PS-12, "COMPONENTS" .
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature.Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 – 35 mm (0 – 1.38 in)

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of the specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn
rear suspension parts.
WARNING:

Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.

Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before push-
ing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle
height posture.
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
start this procedure again from the beginning. Do not push the
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
7. If toe-in is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of rear lower link.
CAUTION:
When adjusting toe-in, set the both sides to the same val-
ues.
