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 AIR BAG” and
“SEAT BELT” 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 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with
a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the

battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000010305339

NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-

TEM).

• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition switch in the

″

LOCK

″

position.

• Always use CONSULT to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work. If

DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.

For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the

″

ACC

″

position. At this time, the

steering lock will be released.

Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.

Perform the necessary repair operation.

When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the

″

LOCK

″

position before connecting

the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)

Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT.

PRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Brake System

INFOID:0000000010305340

WARNING:

Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.

CAUTION:

• Only use “DOT 4” brake fluid. Refer to

MA-59, "Fluids and Lubricants"

• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it

off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-

ponents.

• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and

cause improper operation.

• Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with

flare nut torque wrench (A).

• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when install-

ing the brake pipes.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator

and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery nega-
tive terminal before performing the work.

• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing

the parts.

• Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac-

ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at
very low mileage. Refer to

BR-36, "BRAKE PAD : Inspection

and Adjustment"

(front brake pad),

ment"

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified

range (MAX – MIN lines).

• Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir

tank.

• Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is

extremely low (lower than MIN).

• Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning lamp

remains illuminated even after the parking brake is released.

BRAKE LINE

Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.

Check for fluid leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.

CAUTION:

If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.

Draining

INFOID:0000000010305344

CAUTION:

• Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it

off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before draining.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.

Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve to gradu-
ally discharge brake fluid.

BRAKE FLUID

Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and
refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Loosen the bleeder valve, slowly depress the brake pedal to the
full stroke, and then release the pedal. Repeat this operation at
intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until all brake fluid is discharged.
Then close the bleeder valve with the brake pedal depressed.
Repeat the same work on each wheel.

Perform the air bleeding. Refer to

BR-12, "Bleeding Brake Sys-

tem"

INFOID:0000000010305346

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before performing the work.

• Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank during the air bleeding.
• Always use new brake fluid for refilling. Never reuse the drained brake fluid.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve of the rear right brake.

Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.

Loosen the bleeder valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the
bleeder valve.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
In case of EPB rear caliper, operate parking brake 5 times to bleed the air.

Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque. Refer to

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010305348

OPERATION

Depress the brake pedal several times at 5-second intervals with the
engine stopped. Start the engine with the brake pedal fully
depressed. Check that the clearance between brake pedal and dash
lower panel decreases.
NOTE:
A slight impact with a small click may be felt on the pedal when the
brake pedal is fully depressed. This is a normal phenomenon due to
the brake system operation.

AIR TIGHT

• Idle the engine for 1 minute to apply vacuum to the brake booster,

and stop the engine. Then depress the brake pedal several times
at 5-second intervals until the accumulated vacuum is released to
atmospheric pressure. Check that the clearance between brake
pedal and dash lower panel gradually increases (A

→

C) each

time the brake pedal is depressed during this operation.

• Depress the brake pedal with the engine running. Then stop the

engine while holding down the brake pedal. Check that the brake
pedal stroke does not change after holding down the brake pedal
for 30 seconds or more.
NOTE:
A slight impact with a small click may be felt on the pedal when the
brake pedal is fully depressed. This is a normal phenomenon due
to the brake system operation.
