BRC-106 < PRECAUTION > [TYPE 1] PRECAUTIONS 5. 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.) 6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT. Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000007356805 CAUTION: • Refer to MA-18, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants" (United States and Canada), 20, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants" (Mexico) 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 sys- tem. • 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 battery ter- minal before performing the work. • Always torque brake lines when installing. • Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac- ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. (front disc brake) or (rear disc brake). WARNING: • Clean dust on caliper and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air- borne particles or other materials. Precaution for Brake Control INFOID:0000000007356806 • 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 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 customer (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 leaks. • If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts, stop- ping 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. • 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 indicator 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 (muf- fler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.). • 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. • 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. SBR686C August 2012 2012 Pathfinder |
