1999 NISSAN PRIMERA light

IAlways use new valve oil seal.
Refer to OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT.
IBefore installing valve oil seal, install valve spring seat.
IInstall valve spring (uneven pitch type) with its narrow
pitched side toward cylinder head side (paint mark).
IAfter installing valve component parts, tap valve stem tip
with plastic hammer to assure a proper fit.
7. Check hydraulic lash adjusters.
a. Push rocker arm at hydraulic lash adjuster location, and see if
rocker arm moves. If it moves at least 1 mm (0.04 in), it indi-
cates that there is air in the high pressure chamber.
Noise will be emitted from hydraulic lash adjuster if engine is
started without bleeding air.
b. Remove hydraulic lash adjuster and dip in a container filled
with engine oil. While pushing plunger as shown in figure,
lightly push check ball using a thin rod. Air is completely bled
when plunger no longer moves.
Air cannot be bled from this type of lash adjuster by running
the engine.
8. Install rocker arms, shims, rocker arm guides and hydraulic
lash adjusters.
CAUTION:
Install all parts in their original positions.
9. Select a suitable shim when replacing any of the following
parts with a new one: Cylinder head, shim, rocker arm guide
and valve seat. Proceed as follows to select the shim of cor-
rect thickness.
a. Install valve component parts to cylinder head (Except shim).
IAlways replace rocker arm guide with a new one.

b. Remove hydraulic lash adjuster.
c. Install Tool* into hydraulic lash adjuster fixing hole.
* Tool (KV10115700) is screwed into magnetic stand rod used
with dial gauge.
d. Make sure that the following parts are installed to the cylinder
head: Valve, valve spring, collet, retainer and rocker arm guide
(except shim). Measure difference (T
1) between sliding surface
of rocker arm guide and valve stem end on shim side.
When measuring, lightly pull dial indicator rod toward you to
eliminate play in Tool (KV10115700).
e. Select correct shim.

REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel bearing lock nut.
2. Remove brake caliper assembly and rotor.
Brake hose need not be disconnected from brake caliper. In
this case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose. Be careful not to depress brake pedal,
or piston will pop out.
Make sure brake hose is not twisted.
3. Remove tie-rod ball joint.
4. Remove upper knuckle nut.
5. Separate drive shaft from knuckle by lightly tapping it. If it is
hard to remove, use a puller.
When removing drive shaft, cover drive shaft boots with
waste cloth to prevent damage to them.
Refer to ªFRONT AXLEº, ªWheel Hub and Knuckleº, FA-11.
6. Remove right drive shaft from transaxle.

Incident Simulation Tests
INTRODUCTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The
following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences
an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
lVehicle vibration
lHeat sensitive
lFreezing
lWater intrusion
lElectrical load
lCold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of
the problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle
with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the illustration
below.
Connectors & harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting.Gently
shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to duplicate.
This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector ter-
minals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs
intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean
the terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensors & relays
Gentlyapply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
SGI839 Vibration test
Shake gently.
Bend gently.Tap gently.
HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS
FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
GI-25

FREEZING
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water
freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange
for the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-
side overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagno-
sis of those electrical components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a
freezer long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part
into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it
occurs, repair or replace the component.
WATER INTRUSION
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/
snowy weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by
water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by
soaking the car or running it through a car wash.
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
ELECTRICAL LOAD
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis
with all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio,
fog lamps) turned on.
COLD OR HOT START UP
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when
the car is started cold. Or it may occur when the car is restarted
hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have
to keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
