REMOVAL
After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or
power cutting tool and an inflatable pump bag.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety
glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters
from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
lDo not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips
may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
lUse a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equiva-
lent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
lWhile the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door win-
dow. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by
passenger compartment air pressure when a door is
closed.
lThe molding must be installed securely so that it is in
position and leaves no gap.
lInform the customer that the vehicle should remain sta-
tionary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured
(preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with tempera-
ture and humidity.
WARNING:
lKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhe-
sive are flammable.
lThe materials contained in the kit are harmful if
swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes.
lUse in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing
the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by
vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh
air.
lDriving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has
completely cured may affect the performance of the
windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
lDo not use an adhesive which is past its usable term.
Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the
date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration
or manufacture date printed on the box.
lKeep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally,
they should be stored in a refrigerator.
lDo not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended
with their caps open or off.
lThe vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Cur-
ing time varies depending on temperature and humidi-
ties. The curing time will increase under higher tempera-
tures and lower humidities.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
EC-4
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp is located on the instrument
panel.
1. The malfunction indicator lamp will light up when the ignition
switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is for
checking the blown lamp.
lIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not light up, see the
WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME in the EL section.
(Or see EC-173, 174.)
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following four functions.
Diagnostic Test Mode I
1. BULB CHECK : This function checks the bulb for damage (blown, open circuit, etc.) of
the malfunction indicator lamp.
If the MIL does not come on, check MIL circuit and ECM test mode
selector. (See next page.)
2. MALFUNCTION
WARNING: This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is detected, the
MIL will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been
detected.
Diagnostic Test Mode II
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS: This function allows DTCs to be read.
4. HEATED OXYGEN
SENSOR MONITOR: This function allows the fuel mixture condition (lean or rich), monitored
by heated oxygen sensor, to be read.
MIL Flashing without DTC
If the ECM is in Diagnostic Test Mode II, the MIL may flash when the engine is running. In this case, check
ECM test mode selector following ``HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES'' on next page.
How to switch the diagnostic test (function) modes and details of the above functions are described later.
(See page EC-39, 41.)

INDICATOR LAMPCondition
ON When the malfunction is detected (Refer to EC-1.) or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction
lThese Diagnostic Trouble Code Numbers are clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS).
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IIÐSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, a diagnostic trouble code is indicated by the number of blinks of the MALFUNCTION INDICA-
TOR LAMP as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the number of ten digits, and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
number of single digits. For example, the malfunction indicator lamp blinks 4 times for about 5 seconds (0.6
sec x 8 times) and then it blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC
``43'' and refers to the malfunction of the throttle position sensor.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their diagnostic trouble code numbers. The DTC
``55'' refers to no malfunction. (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX, refer to page EC-1.)
How to erase diagnostic test mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test
mode is changed from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ``HOW TO SWITCH
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES''.)
lIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost from the backup
memory within 24 hours.
lBe careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
lIf the MIL blinks or ``NATS MALFUNCTION'' is displayed
on ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' screen, perform self-diag-
nostic results mode with CONSULT using NATS pro-
gram card (NATS-E940). Refer to EL section.
lConfirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ``ERASE'' in ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS''
mode with CONSULT.
lWhen replacing ECM, initialisation of NATS V2.0 system
and registration of all NATS V2.0 ignition key IDs must
be carried out with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940).
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and
NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT
operation manual, NATS V2.0.
