PRECAUTIONS
[ESP/TCS/ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS0019N
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.
WAR NIN G:
lTo 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.
lImproper 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.
lDo 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 SystemEFS0019O
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed
on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tubes.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
lBefore working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
connectors for the ESP/TCS/ABS actuator and control unit or
the battery terminals.
lBurnish 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 toBR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure".
WAR NIN G:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS0019P
lDuring the EPS/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates lightly and its mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
lJust after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.
lThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough,
gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
lIf a malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp, or other warning lamps, collect the necessary infor-
mation from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and find out the possible
causes before starting the service. Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster operation,
brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
lIf the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine
parts, the stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
lIf there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near the control unit, the ESP/TCS/
ABS function may have a malfunction or error.
lIf aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check the electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.

Adjustment of Neutral Position of Steering Angle SensorEFS0019R
lAfter removing/installing or replacing the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit, steering angle sensor, steering com-
ponents, suspension components, and tires, or after adjusting the wheel alignment, make sure to adjust
the neutral position of the steering angle sensor before running the vehicle.
CAUTION:
To adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor, make sure to use CONSULT-II.
(Adjustment cannot be done other than CONSULT-II.)
1. Stop the vehicle with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector on the vehicle, and
turn the ignition switch to ON position (engine not running).
3. Touch “START”, “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST ANGLE

lWhen starting the engine, or just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or the
motor operating noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the
operation check.
lThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
TCS FunctionsEFS0019V
1. With the wheel speed sensor signals from 4 wheels, the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit detects a wheel spin.
If a wheel spins, the control unit controls brake fluid pressure to the spinning wheel, and cuts the fuel to
the engine. It also closes the throttle valve to reduce the engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is
controlled to the appropriate engine torque.
2. If a wheel spins, the TCS system works same as LSD (Limited Slip Differential) function applying brake
fluid pressure to the spinning wheel.
3. During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:
lDuring TCS operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
lDepending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not abnormal,
because the optimum traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.
lWhen the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction coefficient varies, down-
shifting or depressing the accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
ESP FunctionsEFS0019W
1. The Electronic Stability Program is called the ESP for short.
The ESP is indicated as the VDC (the Vehicle Dynamics Control) on the CONSULT-II screen.
2. In addition to the ABS/TCS function, ESP detects the driver's steering operation amount and brake opera-
tion amount from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using the information from the yaw rate/
side G sensor and wheel speed sensors, ESP judges the driving condition (conditions of understeer and
oversteer) to improve the stability by controlling the brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
3. During ESP operation, the SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of the operation.
CAUTION:
lDuring ESP operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise
may be heard. This is a normal condition.
lIf the vehicle is rotated on a turn table, or rolled and rocked on a ship, the ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a
normal road again. If the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
turn OFF after the restart, it is normal.
lWhen driving in a steep slope such as a bank, the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp,
and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the
ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn OFF after the restart, it
is normal.
