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 an air
bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring har-
ness 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 CHECK VALVE
1. Blow air through connector on fuel tank side.
A considerable resistance should be felt and a portion of air
flow should be directed toward the EVAP canister side.
2. Blow air through connector on EVAP canister side.
Air flow should be smoothly directed toward fuel tank side.
3. If fuel check valve is suspected of not properly functioning in
steps 1 and 2 above, replace it.
Rollover valve operation (RHD models only)
Ensure that continuity of air passage does not exist when the
installed rollover valve is tilted to 90É or 180É.
FUEL TANK VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
1. Wipe clean valve housing.
2. Check valve opening pressure and vacuum.
Pressure:
15.3 - 20.0 kPa (0.1530 - 0.2001 bar, 0.156 - 0.204
kg/cm
2, 2.22 - 2.90 psi)
Vacuum:
þ6.0 to þ3.3 kPa (þ0.0598 to þ0.0333 bar, þ0.061 to
þ0.034 kg/cm
2, þ0.87 to þ0.48 psi)
3. If out of specification, replace fuel filler cap as an assembly.
CAUTION:
Use only a genuine fuel filler cap as a replacement.

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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð General DescriptionKA
Symptom Matrix Chart (Cont'd)
EC-63

Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS)
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor is a basic component of the ECCS.
It monitors engine speed and piston position. These input signals
to the ECM are used to control fuel injection, ignition timing and
other functions.
The camshaft position sensor has a rotor plate and a wave-
forming circuit. The rotor plate has 360 slits for a 1É signal and
4 slits for a 180É signal. The wave-forming circuit consists of
Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and photo diodes.
The rotor plate is positioned between the LED and the photo
diode. The LED transmits light to the photo diode. As the rotor
plate turns, the slits cut the light to generate rough-shaped
pulses. These pulses are converted into on-off signals by the
wave-forming circuit and sent to the ECM.
The distributor is not repairable and must be replaced as an
assembly, except distributor cap.

Bulb Replacement
The headlamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replace-
able halogen bulb. The bulb can be replaced from the engine
compartment side without removing the headlamp body.
lGrasp only the plastic base when handling the bulb.
Never touch the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the battery cable.
2. Disconnect the harness connector from the back side of the
bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap.
4. Push and raise retaining pin to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlamp bulb carefully. Do not shake or rotate
the bulb when removing it.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not leave headlamp reflector without bulb for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering head-
lamp body may affect the performance of the headlamp.
Remove headlamp bulb from the headlamp reflector just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. Aimers should
be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with
respective operation manuals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as
follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
c. See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil
filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the
driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to ``0'' when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming
control.
