PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EFS000OD
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 harness connec-
tors. BR

CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31 MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust
brake pedal/foot pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5 seconds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.

Piston
CAUTION:
The piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with sandpaper.
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear and damage. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected, replace the
applicable part.
Sliding Pin, Pin Bolt, and Pin Boot
Check sliding pin and sliding pin boot for wear, damage and cracks. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected,
replace the applicable part.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of the disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks and serious damage. If uneven wear, cracks or seri-
ous damage is detected, replace it.
Run Out Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix the disc rotor to the wheels hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Using a dial indicator, check run out.
Measurement point:
At a point 10 mm (0.39 in) from the outer edge of
the disc.
Run out limit:
0.04 mm (0.0016 in) or less
CAUTION:
Before measuring, make sure that the axle endplay is 0 mm
(0 in). BRA0013D
3. If the run out is outside the limit, find the minimum run out point
by shifting the mounting positions of the disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of the disc rotor. If the thick-
ness is outside the standard, replace the disc rotor.
Standard thickness : 28.0 mm (1.102 in)
Wear limit : 26.0 mm (1.024 in)
Maximum uneven wear (measured at 8 positions):
0.02 mm (0.0008 in) or less

CAUTION:
● Clean dust on the caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with com-
pressed air.
● While removing the cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
● It is not necessary to remove the mounting bolts on the torque member and brake hose except for
disassembly or replacement of the caliper assembly. In this case, hang the cylinder body with a
wire so that the brake hose is not under tension.
● Do not damage the piston boot.
● Always replace the shims and shim covers as a set when replacing the brake pads.
● Keep brake fluid clean of the rotor.

INSTALLATION
1. Apply disc brake grease to the back of the pad and both sides of the shim, and install the inner shim and
shim cover to the inner pad, and outer shim and outer shim cover to the pad.
2. Apply disc brake grease to the pad contact surface on the pad retainer, and install the pad retainers and
pads to the torque member.
3. Install the cylinder body to the torque member.
CAUTION:
When replacing the pads with new ones, press in the piston until the pads can be installed. In this
case, carefully monitor the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because the brake fluid will return
to the reservoir tank of the master cylinder.
4. Insert the lower sliding pin bolt to tighten to the specified torque.
5. Check the brake for drag.
