PEDAL VIBRATION OR ABS OPERATION SOUND OCCURS

PEDAL VIBRATION OR ABS OPERATION SOUND OCCURS

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000006165958

CAUTION:

Under the following conditions, ABS is activated and vibration is felt when brake pedal is lightly

depressed. However, this is normal.

• When shifting gears

• When driving on slippery road

• During cornering at high speed

• When passing over bumps or grooves [at approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) or more]

• When pulling away just after starting engine [at approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH) or higher]

1.

SYMPTOM CHECK 1

Check that there are pedal vibrations when the engine is started.
Do vibrations occur?

YES

>> GO TO 2

NO

>> Inspect the brake pedal.

2.

SYMPTOM CHECK 2

Check that there are ABS operation noises when the engine is started.
Do the operation noises occur?

YES

>> GO TO 3

NO

>> Perform self -diagnosis. Refer to 

BRC-24, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)"

.

3.

SYMPTOM CHECK 3

Check symptoms when electrical component (headlamps, etc.) switches are operated.
Do symptoms occur?

YES

>> Check if there is a radio, antenna, antenna lead wire, or wiring close to the control unit. If there is,

move it farther away.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000006165960

Symptom

Result

Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC, TCS or ABS is acti-
vated. 

This is a normal condi-
tion due to the VDC, 
TCS or ABS activation.

Stopping distance is longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or 
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

The brake pedal moves and generates noises, when TCS or VDC is activated due to rapid acceleration or 
sharp turn.

The brake pedal vibrates and motor operation noises occur from the engine room, after the engine starts and 
just after the vehicle starts.

This is normal, and it is 
caused by the ABS op-
eration check.

Depending on the road conditions, the driver may experience a sluggish feel. 

This is normal, because 
TCS places the highest 
priority on the optimum 
traction (stability).

TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over location where friction coefficient 
varies, when downshifting, or when fully depressing accelerator pedal.

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 rotating on a turntable or located on 
a ship while the engine is running. 

In this case, restart the 
engine on a normal 
road. If the normal con-
dition is restored, there 
is no malfunction. At 
that time, erase the self-
diagnosis memory.

VDC may not operate normally or the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp 
may illuminate, when running on a special road that is extremely slanted (e.g. bank in a circuit course). 

A malfunction may occur in the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system, when the vehicle turns sharply, such 
as during a spin turn, axle turn, or drift driving, while the VDC function is off (VDC OFF indicator lamp illumi-
nated). 

The vehicle speed will not increase even though the accelerator pedal is depressed, when inspecting the 
speedometer on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer. 

Normal (Deactivate the 
VDC/TCS function be-
fore performing an in-
spection on a chassis 
dynamometer.)

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 sys-
tem error but results 
from characteristic 
change of tire.

PRECAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000006165961

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.

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

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion ON or engine running, DO NOT 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 for Brake System

INFOID:0000000006165962

CAUTION:

• Always use recommended brake fluid. Refer to 

MA-21, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Fluids and Lubri-

cants"

 (United States), 

MA-22, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants"

 (Mexico).

• 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.

Refer to 

BR-31, "Brake Burnishing Procedure"

 (front disc brake) or 

BR-35, "Removal and Installation

of Brake Pad"

 (rear disc brake).
