PRECAUTIONS
[VDC/TCS/ABS] PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” AFS00289

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along B
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 C
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: D
● 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. E
● 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. BRC
● 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.
G
Precautions for Brake System AFS001S3

● Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”.

H
● Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
● Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off
and flush area with water immediately.
I
● Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
● Using a flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench, securely tighten
J
brake tube flare nuts.
● Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with a new one. K
● Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
battery negative terminal. L
● When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
SBR686C
M
Precautions for Brake Control AFS001S4

● During VDC/TCS/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 room. 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 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.
● If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, VDC/TCS/ABS
function may have a malfunction or error.

Edition: 2004 August BRC-3 2005 FX

 PRECAUTIONS
[VDC/TCS/ABS]
● 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, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
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 suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp 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 VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting engine.
● Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
SW ON) may cause the G sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunction, if nor-
mal operation can be resumed after restarting engine.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PFP:00000

System Diagram AFS001SB

SFIA1160E

VDC Function AFS001SC

● In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steer-
ing / over steering) is determined from information from G sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information
is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.
● SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
● During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.
● ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is sub-
ject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehicle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope
such as bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning
lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS Function AFS001SD

● The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the
wheel speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs, drive wheel right and left brake fluid pres-
sure control and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine
torque and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree 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 vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/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 Function AFS001SE

● The anti-lock brake system is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves han-
dling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.
● If the electrical system malfunctions, then the fail-safe function starts, the 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.

Edition: 2004 August BRC-8 2005 FX

 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
[VDC/TCS/ABS]
● When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises
may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check. A
● 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 AFS001SF
B

● Electronic brake distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
C
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
● In case of electrical system malfunction, the fail-safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
D
● 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.
● When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises E
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.
BRC
Fail-Safe Function AFS001SG

VDC / TCS SYSTEM

In case of malfunction in the VDC/TCS system, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned G
on, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without VDC/TCS system. In case of
malfunction in the VDC/TCS system, the ABS control continues to operate normally without VDC/TCS control.
CAUTION: H
If the fail-safe function is activated, then perform the self-diagnosis for VDC/TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica- I
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the VDC/TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function. J
1. For malfunction of ABS, only the EBD is activated and the condition of vehicle is the same condition of
vehicles without TCS/ABS system.
2. For malfunction of EBD, EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as K
the condition of vehicles without TCS/ABS, EBD system.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition L
because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.

A
System Description AFS0021Y

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- B
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-29, "CAN C
Communication Unit" .

 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
[VDC/TCS/ABS]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS PFP:00004

How to Proceed with Diagnosis AFS001SL

BASIC CONCEPT
● Most important point to perform diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle
thoroughly.

● It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-

tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
NOTE:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe cus-
tomer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this symptom”.

SEF234G

● It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to

repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based on interview with customer and past examples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunction has actually been eliminated.
● After diagnosis, make sure to perform “erase memory”. Refer to
BRC-27, "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" . SEF233G

● For an intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness con-

nector by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.
● Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-4, "General Precau-
tions" .

ASKING COMPLAINTS
● Complaints against malfunction vary depending on each person.
It is important to clarify customer complaints.
● Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under
what conditions. Use information to reproduce symptom while
driving.
● It is also important to use diagnosis sheet so as not to miss infor-
mation.

 TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
[VDC/TCS/ABS]
For Fast and Accurate Diagnosis AFS001SR

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS A

● Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-12, "How to Proceed with Diagno-
sis" .
● If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steering angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension B
system parts have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of
steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion" . C
● After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-27, "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" .
● When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector termi- D
nals.
● For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections. E
● If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
● To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), active tests,
or work support, first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select “ABS”. BRC
● While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed,
an engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.

BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake piping and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or
oozing fluid, check the following items.
● If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten piping to the specified torque
and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
● If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
● When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, if fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for
leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace the damaged part.
● When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), if fluid is just oozing
out, use a clean cloth to wipe off oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body can not be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-20, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Front Disc Brake” and
