Precautions for brake systemEFS001B6
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.
lTo clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
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".
lBefore working, turn OFF ignition switch. Disconnect connectors
for ABS actuator and control module or battery terminals.
WAR NIN G:
lClean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.
Precautions for brake controlEFS001B7
lIf malfunction is indicated by 4WD warning lamp and/or ABS warning lamp, collect necessary information
from customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions). Find out possible causes before start-
ing service. Besides electrical system inspection, check operation of ABS actuator.
lIf malfunction is detected, proceed to trouble diagnosis after checking tire pressure and tire wear.
lStopping distance or steering stability may be deteriorated by the following conditions. Tire size and type
are in improper combination. Brake pads are not Nissan genuine parts.
lFitting tires of different size on vehicle can be cause of longitudinal vibration. Always use tires of the same
size and brand. Exchange front and rear tires on the following conditions: Longitudinal vibration occurs in
vehicle with tires of the same size and brand. After replacement, perform trouble diagnosis. 1580|None
l4WD/ABS function may have a failure or error under following condition: There is radio, antenna, or
antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module.
lIf aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.

Operation procedure
1. After obtaining customer's information, performBRC-32, "Basic Inspection".
2. After turning ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II connec-
tor to data link connector on vehicle.
3. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx.
1minute.
4. Stop vehicle. With engine at idle, touch “START”, “ABS” and
“SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on CONSULT-II screen in this order.
CAUTION:
“ABS” may not be displayed on the system selection
screen in the following case: When “START” was touched
justafterengineisstartedorignitionswitchisturnedto
ON. In this case, repeat procedure from step 2.
5. Self-diagnosis result is displayed. (If necessary, touch “PRINT” to print self-diagnosis result.)
lIf“NO MALFUNCTION”is displayed, check ABS warning lamp. Refer toBRC-32, "BASIC INSPECTION
3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION".
6. Check the faulty part indicated by the chart to repair or replace.
7. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute.
CAUTION:
lCheck again to make sure that there is NO FAILURE on other parts.
lIf wheel speed sensor [SHORT] is detected, ABS warning lamp does not turn off until following
conditions: Vehicle is driven at Approx. 30km/h for Approx. 1 minute, even in normal conditions.
8. Turn OFF ignition switch to prepare for erasing memory.
9. Start engine. Touch “START,” “ABS,” “SELF-DIAG RESULTS,” and “ERASE MEMORY” on CONSULT-II
screen in this order to erase fault memory.

Basic InspectionEFS001BK
BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check area around brake piping and ABS actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as fol-
lows:
lIf connections at ABS actuator are loose, tighten piping to the specified torque. Then check again for
leaks, and be sure there is no fluid leak.
lIf the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ABS actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
lIf leak or oozing is detected except for ABS actuator connections, wipe it with clean cloth. Then check
again for leaks. If there is still leak or oozing, replace damaged part.
lIf leak or oozing is detected on ABS actuator, wipe with a clean cloth. Check again for leaks, and if
there is still leak or oozing, replace ABS actuator.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL
Check battery for looseness on battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned ON. If it does not turn on, check ABS
warning lamp harness.
2. Check 4WD warning lamp illuminates with ignition switch ON. If not so, check 4WD warning lamp path.
3. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns off after approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON. If it
does not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.
4. Be sure 4WD warning lamp turns off after several seconds when engine is started. If it does not turn off,
perform self-diagnosis.
5. After driving the vehicle at Approx. 30km/h for a few seconds, check 4WD warning lamp and ABS warning
lamp do not illuminate.
6. After completing the self-diagnosis, always erase the diagnosis memory.

4WD MODES CANNOT BE SWITCHED AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED
1.INSPECTION USING 4WD MODE CHANGE-OVER SWITCH
lDrive modes cannot be switched after the engine is started.
lOn data monitor screen of the CONSULT-II, check 4WD mode switch.
lCheck if the display changes from ## to 2WD mode when the 2WD switch is pressed.
lCheck if the display changes from ## to AUTO mode when the AUTO switch is pressed.
lCheck if the display changes from ## to LOCK mode when the LOCK switch is pressed.
OK or NG
OK >> No malfunction detected.
NG >>
lCONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the 2WD switch is pressed. Check harness
of the 2WD switch.
lCONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the AUTO switch is pressed. Check har-
ness of the 2WD switch and LOCK switch.
lCONSULT-II display does not change from ## when the LOCK switch is pressed. Check har-
ness of the LOCK switch.
lPerform 4WD mode change-over switch inspection.
WHILE DRIVING, 4WD WARNING LAMP FLASHES RAPIDLY. (WHEN IT FLASHERS FOR
APPROX. ONE MINUTE, THEN DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.)
lWhile driving, 4WD warning lamp flashes rapidly. (When it flashes for Approx. One minute, then does not
illuminate.)
Rapid flashing: 2 times/second
This phenomenon protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electronically controlled
coupling and multiple disc clutch temperature increases. It is not a malfunction.
When the difference of revolution speed by or with the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode, the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode, the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not a malfunction.
WHILE DRIVING, 4WD WARNING LAMP FLASHES SLOWLY. (WHEN IT CONTINUES TO ILLU-
MINATE UNTIL ENGINE TURNS OFF.)
1. Check using the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
lPerform inspection with the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
lCheck if the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR is 8 mm (0.31 in) or more.
lStop the engine. Restart the engine and drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 MPH) or faster for approxi-
mately 200 seconds. Confirm the 4WD warning lamp flashes slowly.
(Check if the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR is 8 mm (0.31 in) or more.)
When the tire size is normal, the value of IMPROPER SIZE TIRE MONITOR will change from 8 mm
(0.31 in) or more to 0 to 4 mm (0 to 0.16 in) (normal condition) after the vehicle is driven 20 km/h (12
MPH) or faster for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Tire inspection
lInspection of tire pressure
lWear condition
lCheck size of the front and rear tires. (No excessive difference should be observed.) Refer toGI-46,

VEHICLE DOES NOT ENTER 4WD MODE EVEN THOUGH 4WD WARNING LAMP IS OFF.
1. Check using the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
Perform inspection by the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
–Check if the vehicle operation changes to 2WD, AUTO, and LOCK modes.
–Check current supplied to the 4WD solenoid valve in AUTO mode.
