[QR]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectBBS005KH
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantBBS005KI
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingBBS005KJ

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyBBS005KK

When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementBBS005KL
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationBBS005KM

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (SST).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the
holes. Make sure to read the text of service manual.

Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating
component.

If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten mounting bolts or nut after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe
them.

Heated Oxygen Sensor

Install heated oxygen sensors in the original position.

Install referring the following if the installation positions cannot
be identified.
CAUTION:

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using heated oxygen
sensor thread cleaner (commercial service tool) and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial ser-
vice tool).

Do not exceed the specified torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated
oxygen sensor, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
