1999 NISSAN PRIMERA light

Self-diagnosis (Only models with data link
connector terminal No. 8)
FUNCTION
lWhen a problem occurs in the ABS, the warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on. To start the self-diagnostic
results mode, ground the self-diagnostic (check) terminal
located on ªData Link Connector for CONSULT-IIº. The loca-
tion of the malfunction is indicated by the warning lamp flash-
ing.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Drive vehicle over 30 km/h (19 mph) for at
least one minute.
Turn ignition switch to the ªLOCKº position.
Ground terminal ª8º of ªDATA LINK CON-
NECTOR for CONSULT-IIº with a suitable
harness.
Turn ignition switch to ªONº position while
grounding terminal ª8º.
Do not depress brake pedal.
After 3.0 seconds, the warning lamp starts
flashing to indicate the malfunction code
No. (See NOTE.)
Verify the location of the malfunction with
the malfunction code chart. Refer to BR-69.
Then make the necessary repairs following
the diagnostic procedures.
After the malfunctions are repaired, erase
the malfunction codes stored in the control
unit. Refer to BR-68.
Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to
verify that the malfunction codes have been
erased.
NOTE: The indication ter-
minates after five
minutes.
However, when the
ignition switch is
turned from off to
on, the indication
starts flashing
again. Disconnect the check terminal from the
ground. The self-diagnostic results mode is
now complete.

lCheck clutch cover installed on vehicle for unevenness of
diaphragm spring toe height.
Uneven limit:
Model 225 0.7 mm (0.028 in)
Model 215 0.8 mm (0.031 in)
FLYWHEEL INSPECTION
lCheck contact surface of flywheel for slight burns or discol-
oration. Repair flywheel with emery paper.
lCheck flywheel runout.
Maximum allowable runout:
Refer to EM section (ªInspectionº, ªCYLINDER
BLOCKº).
INSTALLATION
lInsert Tool into clutch disc hub when installing clutch cover
and disc.
lTighten bolts to specified torque.
Tightening procedure
a. Tighten all bolts, in numerical order, to 10 - 20 N´m (1.1 -
2.0 kg-m,8-14ft-lb).
b. Tighten all bolts, in numerical order, to 22 - 29 N´m (2.3 -
2.9 kg-m, 17 - 21 ft-lb).

Engine Fuel & Emission Control System
NEF390 ECM (ECCS-D control module)
lDo not disassemble ECM.lIf a battery terminal is disconnected, the memory
will return to the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial
value. Engine operation can vary slightly when
the terminal is disconnected. However, this is not
an indication of a problem. Do not replace parts
because of a slight variation.
lWhen ECM is removed for inspection, make sure
to ground the ECM mainframe.WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
lWhen installing C.B. ham radio or a mobile
phone, be sure to observe the following as it
may adversely affect electronic control sys-
tems depending on its installation location.
1) Keep the antenna as far as possible away
from the ECM.
2) Keep the antenna feeder line more than
20 cm (7.9 in) away from the harness of elec-
tronic controls.
Do not let them run parallel for a long dis-
tance.
3) Adjust the antenna and feeder line so that the
standing-wave ratio can be kept small.
4) Be sure to ground the radio to vehicle body.
ECM HARNESS HANDLING
lConnect ECM harness connectors securely.
A poor connection can cause an extremely
high (surge) voltage to develop in coil and
condenser, thus resulting in damage to ICs.
lKeep ECM harness at least 10 cm (3.9 in)
away from adjacent harnesses, to prevent an
ECM system malfunction due to receiving
external noise, degraded operation of ICs,
etc.
lKeep ECM parts and harnesses dry.lBefore removing parts, turn off ignition
switch and then disconnect battery ground
cable. WHEN STARTING
lDo not depress accelerator pedal when
starting.
lImmediately after starting, do not rev up
engine unnecessarily.
lDo not rev up engine just prior to shut-
down. ECM PARTS HANDLING
lHandle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid
damage.
lDo not disassemble mass air flow sensor.lDo not clean mass air flow sensor with any type
of detergent.
lDo not disassemble No. 1 injection nozzle (built-
in needle lift sensor).
lEven a slight leak in the air intake system can
cause serious problems.
lDo not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor
(TDC). ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTOR PUMP
lDo not disconnect pump harness connectors
with engine running.
lDo not disassemble or adjust electronic fuel
injection pump, except for the following
parts.
Camshaft position sensor (pump)
Injection timing control valve
Fuel cut solenoid valve BATTERY
lAlways use a 12 volt battery as power
source.
lDo not attempt to disconnect battery cables
while engine is running.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NCEC0002
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº, used along with a seat
belt, help to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The
Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and
on the instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning
lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
In addition to the supplemental air bag modules for a frontal collision, the supplemental side air bag used
along with the seat belt helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a
side collision. The supplemental side air bag consists of air bag modules (located in the outer side of front
seats), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal collision).
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 (except ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº connector) can be
identified with yellow harness connector (and with yellow harness protector or yellow insulation
tape before the harness connectors).
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System of Engine
NCEC0003
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator (MI) to warn the driver
of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
lBe sure to turn the ignition switch ªOFFº and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MI to light up.
lBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector
will cause the MI to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water,
grease, dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
lCertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector.
For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL section, ªDescriptionº, ªHARNESS CONNEC-
TORº.
lBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to the short circuit.
lBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber
tube may cause the MI to light up due to the malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection
system, etc.
lBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM
before returning the vehicle to the customer.
