1998 NISSAN PICK-UP service

Service Notice
lWhen removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
lHandle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to soil
or damage them.
lApply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
lWhen applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
lWhen replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust
prevention measures.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness
and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
EC-4

Fuel Pressure Release
Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from
fuel line to eliminate danger.
1. Start engine.
2. Perform ``FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE'' in ``WORK
SUPPORT'' mode with CONSULT.
(Touch ``START'' and after engine stalls, crank it two or
three times to release all fuel pressure.)
3. Turn ignition switch off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OR-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Remove fuse for fuel pump.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release
all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch off and reconnect fuel pump fuse.
Fuel Pressure Check
lWhen reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
lMake sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent
parts.
lUse a torque driver to tighten clamps.
lUse Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero, refer to above.
2. Disconnect fuel hose between fuel filter and fuel tube (engine
side).
3. Install pressure gauge between fuel filter and fuel tube.
4. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
5. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
At idling:
Approximately 235 kPa (2.35 bar, 2.4 kg/cm
2,34
psi)
A few seconds after ignition switch is turned OFF to
ON:
Approximately 294 kPa (2.94 bar, 3.0 kg/cm
2,43
psi)
6. Stop engine and disconnect fuel pressure regulator vacuum
hose from intake manifold.
7. Plug intake manifold with a rubber cap.
8. Connect variable vacuum source to fuel pressure regulator.
9. Start engine and read indication of fuel pressure gauge as
vacuum is changed.
Fuel pressure should decrease as vacuum increases. If
results are unsatisfactory, replace fuel pressure regulator.
