PRECAUTIONS

PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT 
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”

NFS000FY

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

NFS000T8

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to

MA-10, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-

CANTS"

 .

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.

Do not 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 crowfoot and torque wrench when tighten brake tube flare
nuts.

Always torque brake lines when installing.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric control unit (control
unit) or battery negative terminal.

Burnish 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 to 

BR-32, "BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE"

 .

WARNING:

Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.

Precautions for Brake Control

NFS000G0

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after turning ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or 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.

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
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid
level, and fluid 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.

PRECAUTIONS

Revision: 2006 July

2007 Murano

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including 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
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, the VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Compo-
nents related to suspension (Shock Absorber, Strut, Spring, Bushing, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude
specified size), components related to brake (Pad, Rotor, Caliper, etc.), Components related to engine
(Muffler, ECM, etc.), Components related to body reinforcement (Roll bar, Tower bar, etc.).

Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of the suspension, tires or components related to
the brakes may cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the   VDC
system may not operate properly.

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
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting the engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC SW
ON) may cause the yaw rate/side G sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.

VDC

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under
steering / over steering) is determined from information from the yaw rate side/decel G sensor, wheel sen-
sor, etc., and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine
power to all four wheels.

The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, the body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard.
This is normal.

The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when the vehicle
is subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while
the engine is running or steep slope such as bank. 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 malfunction.

TCS

The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the
wheel speed signals from the four wheels, so 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 degree the throttle is opened is
controlled to achieve the optimum engine torque.

Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.

TCS may be activated any time the vehicle suddenly accelerates, depressing accelerator peal fully, sud-
denly downshifts, upshifts, or is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

ABS

The Anti-Lock Braking System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.

 If the electrical system malfunction, then Fail-Safe function is activated, ABS becomes inoperative, and
ABS warning lamp turns on.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or 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

Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling Brake Fluid Pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of electrical system malfunction, Fail-Safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inopera-
tive, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

During EBD operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or 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.

CAN Communication

NFS000GC

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

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. Refer to 

LAN-49, "CAN Sys-

tem Specification Chart"

Components

Description

Solenoid valve
(ABS control valve)

Increases, maintains and decreases the fluid pressure of each caliper according to the signal from 
VDC/TCS/ABS control unit.

Reservoir

When decreasing the caliper pressure, temporarily saves the brake fluid drained form the caliper in 
order to perform the work efficiently.

Pump

Refills the brake fluid saved in the reservoir via the damper to the caliper.

Motor

Operates the pump according to the signal from VDC/TCS/ABS control unit.

Inlet valve

Leaves the brake fluid drained from the reservoir to the pump so as not to return it to the reservoir.

Outlet valve

Leaves the brake fluid drained from the pump so as not to return it to the pump.

Return check valve

When releasing the brake, bypasses with the orifice of solenoid valve, and then refills the brakefluid 
of caliper to the master cylinder.

Damper

Controls the pulsation of brake fluid drained from the pump, and then weakens the pedal vibration 
during VDC/TCS/ABS operation.

VDC switch-over valve (CV)

Shuts out the normal brake passage from master cylinder during VDC/TCS operation.

VDC switch-over valve (SV)

Supplies the brake fluid from master cylinder to the pump during VDC/TCS operation.
