2001 NISSAN ALMERA check engine

Aiming AdjustmentNJEL0016For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1) Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2) Place vehicle on flat surface.
3) 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).

Symptom Possible causes Repair order
Odo/trip meter indicates
malfunction in Diagnosis
mode.Unified meter control unit Replace unified meter control unit.
Multiple meter/gauge indi-
cate malfunction in Diagno-
sis mode.
One of speedometer/
tachometer/fuel gauge/
water temp. gauge indi-
cates malfunction in Diag-
nosis mode.1. Meter/Gauge
2. Unified meter control unit1. Check resistance of meter/gauge indicating malfunc-
tion. If the resistance is NG, replace the meter/gauge.
Refer to ªMETER/GAUGE RESISTANCE CHECKº,
EL-162.
2. If the resistance of meter/gauge is OK, replace unified
meter control unit.
