INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 or P0021 are detected in self-diagnostic results of
CONSULT-II and it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-427,
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE" .
Check when engine ins cold so as to prevent burns from any splashing engine oil.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-19, "
ENGINE OIL" .
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-392, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors.
3. Remove intake manifold control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-192, "
CAMSHAFT" .
4. Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from camshaft bracket (No. 1) oil hole. End crank after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.
Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from camshaft bracket (No. 1) oil hole. Refer to LU-17, "
LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
5. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-17, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
6. After inspection, install removed parts.
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
6. Remove front suspension member mounting nuts and bolts. Refer to FSU-5, "FRONT SUSPENSION
ASSEMBLY" .
7. Carefully lower engine, transaxle and front suspension member assembly. When performing work,
observe the following caution.
CAUTION:
Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.
Keep in mind the center of vehicle gravity changes. If necessary, use jack(s) to support vehicle
at rear jacking point(s) to prevent it from falling it off the lift.
Separation Work
1. Remove power steering oil pump, power steering piping and power steering bracket from engine and tran-
saxle assembly. Refer to PS-39, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
2. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-14, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
3. Disconnect harness connector of engine mounting insulators (front and rear).
4. Remove engine mounting (front) and engine mounting (rear) through-bolts.
5. Lift with hoist and separate engine and transaxle assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Before and during this lifting, always make sure that any harnesses are not connected.
6. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from engine, transaxle and
front suspension member.
7. Separate engine and transaxle. Refer to AT- 2 4 1 , "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" (A/T), CVT-193, "TRAN-
SAXLE ASSEMBLY" (CVT).
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no engine oil gets on it.
For a path with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-223, "Removal and
Installation" .
Make sure all engine mounting insulators are seated properly, then tighten nuts and bolts.

CONSULT-II CHECKING SYSTEM
Checking Equipment BAS0007N
When ordering the following equipment, contact your NISSAN/INFINITI distributor.
CAUTION:
Previous CONSULT-II “I” and “Y” DLC-I and DLC-II cables should NOT be used anymore because
their DDL connector pins can be damaged during cable swapping.
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
If CONSULT-II CONVERTER is not connected with CONSULT-II, vehicle occur the “FAIL SAFE
MODE” which is “LIGHT UP the HEAD LIGHT” and/or “COOLING FAN ROTATING” when CON-
SULT-II is started.
NOTE:
The CONSULT-II must be used in conjunction with a program card.
CONSULT-II does not require loading (Initialization) procedure.
Be sure the CONSULT-II is turned off before installing or removing a program card.
CONSULT-II Start ProcedureBAS0007O
NOTE:
Turning ignition switch off when performing CAN diagnosis could cause CAN memory to be erased.
1. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the
data link connector.
2. If necessary, turn on the ignition switch.
3. Touch “START(NISSAN BASED VHCL)” or System Shortcut key
(ex: ENGINE) on the screen.
