BASIC INSPECTION
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
Work Flow INFOID:0000000001341853

DESCRIPTION
Basic Concept
• The most important point to perform trouble diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in
vehicle thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
they will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe
customer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this
symptom”.
SEF234G

• It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in order


to repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce symp-
tom based on interview with customer and past examples. Do not
perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions
are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to
shake suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairs are
performed without any symptom check, no one can judge if mal-
function has actually been eliminated.
• After diagnostic, make sure to perform “ERASE MEMORY”. Refer
to BRC-12, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
SEF233G
• Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precau-
tions. Refer to BRC-12, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
Asking Complaints
• Complaints against malfunction vary depending on each person. It
is important to clarify customer complaints.
• Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under what
conditions. Use information to reproduce symptom while driving.
• It is also important to use diagnostic sheet so as not to miss infor-
mation.

ABS SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp will turn ON and the condition of the vehicle I
will be fail-safe which is the same condition of vehicles without ABS system.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition
switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed. J
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, then perform self-diagnosis for ABS control system.
K
PURPOSE
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so that locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS: L
• Ensures proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
• Enables obstacles to be avoided through steering wheel operation.
• Enables vehicle stability by preventing flat spins. M
OPERATION
• When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
• The ABS has self-test capabilities. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp for 2 seconds after turning N
the ignition switch ON. The system performs another test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH).
A mechanical noise may be heard a sthe ABS performs a self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test fea-
ture. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will come on.
O
• Dyring ABS operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.
FAIL SAFE
If trouble occurs in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp in the combination meter comes on. At the same time, the P
vehicle stops the ABS control and braking becomes the same as that of a vehicle without ABS.

OPERATION THAT IS NOT "SYSTEM ERROR"


ABS
• When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating sound
may be heard from engine room. This is a normal states of the operation check.
• During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical sound may be heard. This is normal.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
Description INFOID:0000000001341893

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" Service INFOID:0000000001341913

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 SR 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR 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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000001341914

• Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.


• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surface of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted surfaces
of body immediately wipe off then with cloth and then wash it away with water.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use 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.
• 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 connec-
tors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with SBR686C
a dust collector.
Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000001341915

• Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be
heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer
(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 oil
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.
• ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in wire
near the control unit.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

BASIC INSPECTION
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
Work Flow INFOID:0000000001341923

DESCRIPTION
Basic Concept
• The most important point to perform trouble diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in
vehicle thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
they will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe
customer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this
symptom”.
SEF234G

• It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to


repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce symp-
tom based on interview with customer and past examples. Do not
perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions
are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to
shake suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairs are
performed without any symptom check, no one can judge if mal-
function has actually been eliminated.
• After diagnostic, make sure to perform “ERASE MEMORY”. Refer
to BRC-76, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
SEF233G
• Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precau-
tions. Refer to GI-28, "General Precautions".
Asking Complaints
• Complaints against malfunction vary depending on each person. It
is important to clarify customer complaints.
• Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under what
conditions. Use information to reproduce symptom while driving.
• It is also important to use diagnostic sheet so as not to miss infor-
mation.

Revision: July 2007 BRC-71 2008 Altima


TCS
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [TCS/ABS]
PURPOSE
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so that locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
• Ensures proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
• Enables obstacles to be avoided through steering wheel operation.
• Enables vehicle stability by preventing flat spins.
OPERATION
• When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
• The ABS has self-test capabilities. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp for 2 seconds after turning
the ignition switch ON. The system performs another test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH).
A mechanical noise may be heard a sthe ABS performs a self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test fea-
ture. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will come on.
• During ABS operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.
FAIL SAFE
If trouble occurs in the ABS or TCS, the ABS warning lamp in the combination meter comes on. At the same
time, the vehicle stops the ABS control and braking becomes the same as that of a vehicle without ABS.
ABS FUNCTION
• The Anti-Lock Brake System detects wheel revolution while braking and improves handling stability during
sudden braking by electrically preventing wheel lockup. Maneuverability is also improved for avoiding obsta-
cles.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the ABS becomes inoperative and
the ABS warning lamp turns on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-III.
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a 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.
EBD FUNCTION
• 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 pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
• If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the EBD and ABS become inopera-
tive, and the ABS warning lamp and BRAKE warning lamp are turned on.
• The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-III.
• During EBD operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a 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 EBD when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
TCS FUNCTION
• Spinning of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS/TCS control unit using inputs from the wheel speed sen-
sors. If wheel spin occurs, the drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure control and engine fuel cut are
conducted while the throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine torque and decrease the amount of
wheel spin. In addition, the throttle opening is controlled to achieve the optimum engine torque.
• Depending on road condition, the vehicle may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum trac-
tion has the highest priority during TCS operation.
• TCS may be activated during sudden vehicle acceleration, wide open throttle acceleration, sudden transmis-
sion shifts or when the vehicle is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
• The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of TCS operation.
WHEEL SENSORS

Revision: July 2007 BRC-72 2008 Altima


TCS
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [TCS/ABS]
The front sensor units consist of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a
sensor element. The element contains a magnet around which a coil A
is wound. The front wheel sensors are installed on the front of the
wheel knuckles. As the wheel rotates, the sensor generates a
square-wave signal. The frequency increases as the wheel speed
B
increases.

LBR333

D
The rear sensor units consist of wheel hubs with a series of internal
magnets and a sensor element. The rear wheel sensors are installed
on the inner side of the wheel knuckles. As the wheel rotates, the E
sensor generates a square-wave signal. The frequency increases as
the wheel speed increases.

< COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS > [TCS/ABS]
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
Description INFOID:0000000001341967

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" Service INFOID:0000000001341992

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 SR 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR 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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000001341993

• Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.


• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surface of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted surfaces
of body immediately wipe off then with cloth and then wash it away with water.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use 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.
• 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 connec-
tors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with SBR686C
a dust collector.
Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000001341994

• Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be
heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer
(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 oil
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.
• ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in wire
near the control unit.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
- When replacing the following parts with parts other than genuine parts or making modifications: Suspension-
related parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing, etc.), tires, wheels (other than specified sizes), brake-related

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
Work Flow INFOID:0000000001342002

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS


If steering angle sensor, steering system parts, suspension system parts, ABS actuator and electric unit (con-
trol unit) or tires have been replaced, or if wheel alignment has been ajusted, be sure to adjust neutral position
of steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-142, "ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
NEUTRAL POSITION : Description".
DESCRIPTION
Basic Concept
• The most important point to perform trouble diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in
vehicle thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
they will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe
customer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this
symptom”.
SEF234G

• It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to


repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce symp-
tom based on interview with customer and past examples. Do not
perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions
are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to
shake suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairs are
performed without any symptom check, no one can judge if mal-
function has actually been eliminated.
• After diagnostic, make sure to perform “ERASE MEMORY”. Refer
to BRC-148, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
SEF233G
• Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precau-
tions. Refer to GI-3.
Asking Complaints
• Complaints against malfunction vary depending on each person. It
is important to clarify customer complaints.
• Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under what
conditions. Use information to reproduce symptom while driving.
• It is also important to use diagnostic sheet so as not to miss infor-
mation.

ABS, EBD SYSTEM


In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator
lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the VDC/TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function.
• For malfunction of ABS, only the EBD is activated and the condition of vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without TCS/ABS system.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition
switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.
• For malfunction of EBD, EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the
condition of vehicles without TCS/ABS, EBD system.
VDC / TCS
In case of malfunction in the VDC/TCS/ABS system, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp are turned
on, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without VDC/TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, then perform self-diagnosis for VDC/TCS/ABS control system.

OPERATION THAT IS NOT "SYSTEM ERROR"


Operation That Is Not “System Error”

Revision: July 2007 BRC-145 2008 Altima


VDC/TCS/ABS
< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS > [VDC/TCS/ABS]
ABS
• When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating sound
may be heard from engine room. This is a normal states of the operation check.
• During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical sound may be heard. This is normal.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
TCS
• Depending on road circumstances, driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum trac-
tion has highest priority under TCS operation.
• When vehicle is passing through a road where surface friction varies, downshifting or depressing accelerator
pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
VDC
• During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical sounds may be heard. This is
normal.
• If vehicle is rotated on turn table, or rolled and rocked on ship, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp,
and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on. In this case, start engine on normal road again. If ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after restart, it is normal.
• When starting TCS or VDC under rapid acceleration or hard turn, operating sound by brake pedal is gener-
ated. However, this is not malfunction. This is because TCS and VDC are functioning normally.
• VDC may not operate normally or ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may
turn on when driving special roads with extremely steep slant (banks on circuit road and so on.) However, it
is not malfunction when returning to a normal state after restarting the engine. In that case, be sure to erase
the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-148, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
• Yaw rate /side G sensor malfunction may occur under hard turn like spin turn, rapid acceleration turn, drift
run, etc., when VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF switch is turned on). It is not malfunction if it is possible to
return to a normal position after restarting engine. Then erase the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-
148, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
• VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure warn-
ing lamp turns on. This is not a VDC system error but results from characteristic change of tires.

CAUTION:
• Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc., when VDC function is off (VDC
OFF switch "ON") may cause yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system to indicate a malfunction. How- K
ever, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restarting engine. Then
erase memory of self-diagnosis.
• If vehicle is on turn-table at entrance to parking garage, or on other moving surface, VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp may illuminate and CONSULT-III self-diagnosis may indicate yaw rate sensor system mal- L
function. However, in this case there is no malfunction in yaw rate sensor system. Take vehicle off of
turn-table or other moving surface, and start engine. Results will return to normal. And after doing
spin turns or acceleration turns with VDC function is being off (VDC OFF switch “ON”), too, the M
results will return to a normal condition by re-starting vehicle.

DTC C1156 ST ANG SEN COM CIR
A
Description INFOID:0000000001342083

The steering angle sensor is connected to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) in addition to CAN B
lines. CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle
multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many
electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected C
with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less
wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" Service INFOID:0000000001342120

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 SR 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR 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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000001342121

• Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.


• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surface of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted surfaces
of body immediately wipe off then with cloth and then wash it away with water.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use 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.
• 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 connec-
tors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with SBR686C
a dust collector.
Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000001342122

• Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may be
heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer
(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 oil
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.
• ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in wire
near the control unit.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.
• VDC system may not operate normally or a VDC OFF indicator lamp or SLIP indicator lamp may light.
