Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EFS005U7
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 SRS 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 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 System EFS0059K
CAUTION:
● Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" for recommended brake fluid.
● Never reuse drained brake fluid.
● Be 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.
● 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.
● Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
● If a brake fluid leak is found, the part must be disassembled
without fail. Then it has to be replaced with a new one if a
defect exists.
● Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the connector of
the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the bat-
tery terminal before performing the work.
● Always torque brake lines when installing.
● Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or SBR686C
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to BR-27, "BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" (front disc brake) or BR-32, "BRAKE BUR-
NISHING PROCEDURE" (rear disc brake).
WARNING:
● Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precautions When Using CONSULT-II EFS0059L
When connecting CONSULT-II to data link connector, connect them through CONSULT-II CONVERTER.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
CHECK POINTS FOR USING CONSULT-II
1. Has CONSULT-II been used without connecting CONSULT-II CONVERTER on this vehicle?
● If YES, GO TO 2.
● If NO, GO TO 4. B
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefor, erase the self-diagnosis results. C
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to LAN-22, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .
Precautions for Brake Control EFS0059M D
● During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
● Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from E
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. BRC
● 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
diagnosis. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid G
leaks.
● If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate. H
● If there is a radio, antenna or related 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 I
pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.

● 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
obstacles.
● 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-II.
● 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 EFS0051X
● 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 inoper-
ative, and the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
● The electrical system can be diagnosed using CONSULT-II.
● 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.
Fail-Safe Function EFS0051Y
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, perform the Self Diagnosis for ABS system.
ABS/EBD SYSTEM
In case of an electrical malfunction with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of an electrical
malfunction with the EBD system, the brake warning lamp and the ABS warning lamp will turn on.
The system will revert to one of the following conditions of the Fail-Safe function.

INTRODUCTION
The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major func- B
tions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and con-
trols actuator operation. It is also important to check for air leaks in
the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other malfunctions in the
brake system. C
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent conditions are
caused by poor electrical connections or damaged wiring. In this D
case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunction, so a
road test should be performed.
SEF233G
E
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS complaint. The customer
is a very good source of information, especially for intermittent condi- BRC
tions. Through the talks with the customer, find out what symptoms
are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on G
an ABS equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins for
information.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EFS005SL
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 SRS 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 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 System EFS0059R
CAUTION:
● Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" for recommended brake fluid.
● Never reuse drained brake fluid.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick and Accurate Repair EFS00536
INTRODUCTION
The ABS/ABLS system has an electronic control unit to control major
functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and
controls actuator operation. It is also important to check for air leaks
in the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other malfunctions in the
brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent conditions are
caused by poor electrical connections or damaged wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunction, so a
SEF233G
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS/ABLS complaint. The cus-
tomer is a very good source of information, especially for intermittent
conditions. Through the talks with the customer, find out what symp-
toms are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on
an ABS/ABLS equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins
for information.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EFS005SM
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 SRS 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 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 System EFS005DB
CAUTION:
● Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" for recommended brake fluid.
● Never reuse drained brake fluid.
● Be 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.
● 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.
● Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
● If a brake fluid leak is found, the part must be disassembled
without fail. Then it has to be replaced with a new one if a
defect exists.
● Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the connector of
the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the bat-
tery terminal before performing the work.
● Always torque brake lines when installing.
● Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or SBR686C
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to BR-27, "BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" (front disc brake) or BR-32, "BRAKE BUR-
NISHING PROCEDURE" (rear disc brake).
WARNING:
● Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precautions When Using CONSULT-II EFS005DC
When connecting CONSULT-II to data link connector, connect them through CONSULT-II CONVERTER.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
CHECK POINTS FOR USING CONSULT-II
1. Has CONSULT-II been used without connecting CONSULT-II CONVERTER on this vehicle?
● If YES, GO TO 2.
● If NO, GO TO 4. B
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefor, erase the self-diagnosis results. C
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to LAN-22, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .
Precautions for Brake Control EFS005DD D
● During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
● During HDC operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal. E
● Just after starting 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, BRC
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 G
diagnosis. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid
leaks.
● If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts, H
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
● If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near control module, ABS function may have a malfunction or
error. I
● If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.
● If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or modified, the VDC OFF indica- J
tor lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushings, etc.), tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake system (pads, rotors, calipers, etc.), components related to engine
(muffler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.). K
● Driving with broken or excessively worn suspension components, tires or brake system components may
cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly. L
● When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
● When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as M
sharp curves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the
engine.
● Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. with VDC turned off may cause the yaw
rate/side G sensor to indicate a problem. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting the engine.
● If battery is removed or steering angle sensor is disconnected, power to steering angle sensor is lost and
the steering angle sensor goes into safe mode.
● When screen goes into steering angle sensor safe mode, perform "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor
Neutral Position" with CONSULT-II and check that VDC OFF indicator turns off. Additionally, perform self-
diagnosis, check that only "Steering Angle Sensor Safe Mode" is shown for self-diagnostic result, and
then delete the memory. (If the self-diagnostic result shows an indication other than "Steering Angle Sen-
sor Safe Mode", repair the relevant part and restart self-diagnosis.) The steering angle sensor is released
and returns to normal condition by performing the above operation.
● When checking, if only "Steering Angle Sensor Safe Mode" is shown in the self-diagnostic result and VDC
OFF indicator is off, delete history of malfunction. This happens when battery power supply is lost and the
screen goes into Steering Angle Sensor Safe Mode, and then screen returns to normal mode automati-

● Spinning of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) using inputs
from the wheel speed sensors. If wheel spin occurs, the drive wheel right and left brake fluid pressure
control and engine fuel cut are activated while the throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine torque J
and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the throttle opening is controlled to achieve the opti-
mum engine torque.
● Depending on road condition, the vehicle may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum trac- K
tion has the highest priority during TCS operation.
● TCS may be activated during sudden vehicle acceleration, wide open throttle acceleration, sudden trans-
mission shifts or when the vehicle is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient. L
● The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of TCS operation.
VDC Function EFS005DM
M
● In addition to the ABS/TCS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensors, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under
steering/over steering) is determined using inputs from the yaw rate sensor/side G sensor, wheel speed
sensors, etc. and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine
torque application to the wheels.
● The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
● During VDC operation, the vehicle body and brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may
be heard. This is normal.
● The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turntable or a ship while the
engine is running or on a steep slope. In this case, restart the engine on a normal road and if the ABS
warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.
HDC Function EFS005DN
● The hill descent control system will help maintain vehicle speed when driving under 25-35 km/h (15-21
MPH) on steeper downhill grades. HDC will provide braking allowing the driver to concentrate on steering
while reducing the burden of brake and accelerator operation.
● The hill start assist system will assist the driver by applying the brake automatically and preventing the
vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an uphill.
● The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the vehicle will begin to roll back gradually and
then HSA will stop operating completely.
Fail-Safe Function EFS005DP
CAUTION:
If the Fail-Safe function is activated, perform the Self Diagnosis for ABS/TCS/VDC system.
ABS/EBD SYSTEM
In case of an electrical malfunction with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP
indicator lamp will turn on. In case of an electrical malfunction with the EBD system, the BRAKE warning lamp,
ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on.
The system will revert to one of the following conditions of the Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS malfunction, only the EBD is operative and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of
vehicles without ABS/TCS/VDC system.
2. For EBD malfunction, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same
as the condition of vehicles without ABS/TCS/VDC or EBD system.
HDC/HSA SYSTEM
● In case of HDC system malfunction, the HDC indicator lamp will remain off even though the HDC switch is
operated and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without HDC system.
● In case of HSA system malfunction, the VDC OFF and SLIP indicator lamps are turned on and the condi-
tion of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without HSA system.
VDC/TCS SYSTEM
In case of TCS/VDC system malfunction, the VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned on
and the condition of the vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without TCS/VDC system. In case of
an electrical malfunction with the TCS/VDC system, the ABS control continues to operate normally without
TCS/VDC control.

INTRODUCTION
The ABS/TCS/VDC/HDC/HSA system has an electronic control unit B
to control major functions. The control unit accepts input signals from
sensors and controls actuator operation. It is also important to check
for air leaks in the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other mal-
functions in the brake system. C
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent conditions are
caused by poor electrical connections or damaged wiring. In this D
case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunction, so a
road test should be performed.
SEF233G
E
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS/TCS/VDC/HDC/HSA com-
plaint. The customer is a very good source of information, especially BRC
for intermittent conditions. Through the talks with the customer, find
out what symptoms are present and under what conditions they
occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first. G
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on
an ABS/TCS/VDC/HDC/HSA equipped vehicle. Also check related
Service Bulletins for information. H
