VIAS Control Solenoid Valve
The VIAS control solenoid valve cuts the intake manifold vacuum
signal for power valve control. It responds to ON/OFF signals from
the ECM. When the solenoid is off, the vacuum signal from the
intake manifold is cut. When the ECM sends an ON signal the coil
pulls the plunger downward and feeds the vacuum signal to the
power valve actuator.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS00NKL
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueEBS00NKM
Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

EC-758
[QR20(WITH EURO-OBD)]
PRECAUTIONS
●Do not disassemble ECM.
●If 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 dis-
connected. However, this is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion. Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.
●When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown at right.
●When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
●Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to ICs.
●Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control sys-
tem malfunctions due to receiving external noise, degraded
operation of ICs, etc.
●Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
●Before replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value” inspection and make sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to EC-819
.
●Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
●Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
●Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of deter-
gent.
●Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
●Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous incidents.
●Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).

BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
4. Install the fuel pressure gauge as shown in the figure.
●Wipe off oil or dirt from hose insertion part using cloth moist-
ened with gasoline.
●Apply proper amount of gasoline between top of the fuel tube
and No.1 spool.
●Insert fuel hose for fuel pressure check until it touches the
No.1 spool on fuel tube.
●Use NISSAN genuine hose clamp (part number: 16439
N4710 or 16439 40U00).
●When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
●When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for
damage and abnormality.
●Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.
●Install hose clamp to the position within 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08
in).
●Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent parts.
5. After connecting fuel hose for fuel pressure check, pull the hose
with a force of approximately 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) to confirm fuel
tube does not come off.
6. Turn ignition switch “ON”, and check for fuel leakage.
7. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
8. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
●Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operating. Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false
readings.
●During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.
9. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
10. Check the following.
●Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging
●Fuel filter for clogging
●Fuel pump
●Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.Tightening torque: 1 - 1.5 N·m (0.1 - 0.15 kg-m,
9 - 13 in-lb)
At idling:
Approximately 350 kPa (3.5 bar, 3.57 kg/cm
2 , 51 psi)
