Adjusting Accelerator WireNBFE00031. Remove the vacuum hose connected to the throttle opener.
2. Connect suitable vacuum hose to vacuum pump as shown left.
3. Apply vacuum [more than þ40.0 kPa (þ300 mmHg, þ11.81
inHg)] until the throttle drum becomes free from the rod of the

Removal and InstallationNBFE0004WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the follow-
ing:
IPut a ªCAUTION: INFLAMMABLEº sign in workshop.
IDo not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open
flames and sparks away from work area.
IBe sure to furnish the workshop with a CO
2fire extin-
guisher.
CAUTION:
IBefore removing fuel line parts, carry out the following
procedures:
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put
lid on securely.
b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to MA-16,
ªChanging Fuel Filterº.
c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
IAlways replace O-ring with new ones.
IDo not kink or twist hose and tube when they are installed.
IDo not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damag-
ing hoses.
IWhen installing fuel check valve, be careful of its desig-
nated direction. Refer to EC-32, ªEVAPORATIVE EMIS-
SION SYSTEMº.
IAfter installation, run engine and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indi-
cator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position.
Therefore, IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is
equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp
lights up while ignition switch is in ON position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS)
software is necessary.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and
IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II
operation manual, IVIS/NVIS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software (program card
and operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to
maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key iden-
tification. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into IVIS (NATS).
IWhen failing to start the engine first time using the key of IVIS
(NATS) (for example, when interference is caused by another
IVIS (NATS) key, an automated full road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart as follows.
a) Leave the ignition switch in ON position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition switch to OFF or LOCK position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
c) Repeat step 1 and 2.
d) Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have
caused the interference) separate from the registered NATS
key. If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered IVIS (NATS) key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other devices.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INFINITI COMMUNICATOR (IVCS)NBGI0001S09The purpose of INFINITI Communicator is to increase security for
the vehicle owner by providing a convenient way to contact the
most appropriate emergency assistance provider during an emer-
gency.
Improper operation of the system may result in a police response.
The theft warning system also activates INFINITI Communicator.
For details, refer to INFINITI Communicator (IVCS) in the EL sec-
tion.

Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HOSESNBGI0001S10Hose Removal and InstallationNBGI0001S1001ITo prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.
SMA020D
ITo reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure of hose inser-
tion length and clamp orientation. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)
SMA021D
Hose ClampingNBGI0001S1002IIf old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there
is a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align
rubber hose at that position.
IDiscard old clamps; replace with new ones.
SMA022D
IAfter installing leaf spring clamps, apply force to them in the
direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all
around.

4) With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the
DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
5) With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper
wire check for voltage.
voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the
relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C).
no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
GROUND INSPECTIONNBGI0004S0305Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of
electrical and electronic circuits. Ground connections are often
exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corro-
sion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted
resistance can change the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper
grounding. A loose or corroded ground can drastically affect an
electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can eas-
ily affect the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean,
there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
1) Remove the ground bolt or screw.
2) Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
3) Clean as required to assure good contact.
4) Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
5) Inspect for ªadd-onº accessories which may be interfering with
the ground circuit.
6) If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal,
check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the wires are clean,
securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple
wires are cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have
excess wire insulation.
SGI853
VOLTAGE DROP TESTSNBGI0004S0306Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits
which have excessive resistance. A voltage drop in a circuit is
caused by a resistancewhen the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with

2WD MODELSNBGI0008S0402INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear)
wheels off the ground as illustrated.
CAUTION:
IWhen towing manual or automatic transmission models
with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the ignition key
to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straightahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
IWhen towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (if you
do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking
brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neu-
tral) position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Manual transmission models:
ISpeed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
IDistance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission.

4WD MODELSNBGI0008S0403INFINITI recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as
illustrated when towing all-mode 4WD models.
