HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
b This Service Manual only contains the service data specifications and trouble diagnosis informa-
tion such as self-diagnosis,
CONSULT, circuit diagram and so on.
b For other information not specified in this manual, refer to Japanese version Service Manual (Pub.
No. A006029) and wiring diagram manual (Pub. No.
WD8EOR34JO).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of the technician and the efficient
functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a manner that the service may be
performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician and the tools and parts available.
Accordingly, anyone using service procedures,
took or parts which are not specifically recommended
by
NISSAN must first be completely satisfied that neither personal safety nor the vehicle's safety will
be jeopardized by the service method selected.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Symptom Matrix Chart (Cont'd)
RELATION BETWEEN TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND ENGINE MECHANICAUACCESSORIES
Malfunction of the gasoline engine will not occur when the three elements of combustion (compression
pressure, aidfuel mixture, and spark) are all normal. Though the
aidfuel mixture and the spark (ignition tim-
ing) are controlled by ECM
(.TCM) control unit, if the engine mechanical is malfunctioning,
a malfunction will
occur. (The table below shows universal cases. Some cases may not apply to the vehicle.)

a The screens for "SELF-DIAG [CURRENTJ", "SELF-DIAG [PAST]" and "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" share the same message. Follow the repair procedures in numerical order. Check whether a malfunction is eliminated each time a repair item is
finished, and when the malfunction is eliminated, further repair work is not required.
After repairing the system, touch "ERASE" to clear the memory and check with CONSULT again.
If both seat belt pre-tensioner systems on the driver seat and passenger seat have failed at the same time, only one of
the two failures is displayed first. The other failure is displayed after the first failure is repaired. For seat belt pre-tensioner
systems,
only
"SELF-DIAG [CURRENTJ" is displayed; "SELF-DIAG

and "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" are not dis-
played.
