PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EFS002F9
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual. C
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. D
● 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. E
● 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. BR
Precautions for Brake System EFS000BZ
● Clean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with G
compressed air.
● Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
● Never reuse drained brake fluid. H
● Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on painted areas, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.
● Use only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components. I
● Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
● Always use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake J
tube flare nuts.
● Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the related parts. If damage, K
deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace affected
parts with new ones.
● Before starting operation, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF L
and disconnect the ABS actuator and control module connector
or battery cables.
● When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.

● It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolt and brake hose union bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so
as not to stretch brake hose. M
● Burnish the brake pad contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-31, "BRAKE BUR-

the disc.
Run out limit : 0.04 mm (0.0016 in) or less
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial endplay is with in the specifi-
cations before measuring runout. Refer to FAX-7, "On-Vehicle

INSTALLATION M
1. Apply brake grease on back of the pad and both sides of the shim. Install inner shim and inner shim cover
to inner pad, outer shim to outer pad.
2. Install pad retainers to torque member and install pads.
3. Connect cylinder body to torque member.
CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press piston in until the pads can be installed. Carefully mon-
itor brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level. Brake fluid will return, raising master cylinder res-
ervoir tank fluid level.
4. Insert lower sliding pin bolt and tighten to the specified torque.
5. Check brakes for drag.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
● Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.
● Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install disc rotor.
2. Install caliper assembly. Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Wipe brake fluid and grease on axle assembly washer seats and caliper assembly mounting sur-
face. Install caliper assembly.
3. Connect brake hose to caliper assembly and tighten union bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
● Do not reuse the copper washer for union bolts.

2. Apply brake fluid to piston boots. Cover piston end with piston
boot. Install cylinder side boot lip properly into groove on cylin-
der body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Press piston into cylinder body by hand. Assemble piston side
boot lip properly into groove on the piston.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and change pressing point to prevent
the cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
