Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EBS00B0I
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WAR NIN G:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connectors.
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of Engine and A/TEBS00B0J
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator (MI) to warn the driver of
a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
lBe sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MI to light up.
lBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
lCertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer toPG-70, "
HAR-
NESS CONNECTOR".
lBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to the short circuit.
lBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to the malfunction of the fuel injection system, etc.
lBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionEBS00B0K
lAlways use a 12 volt battery as power source.
lDo not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
lBefore connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative
battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
lBefore removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.

lOut-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions
between X and Y at A and B.
lTaper is indicated by the difference in dimension between A and
BatXandY.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
lPlace a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of the crankshaft.
lPlace a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
lWhile rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer
on the dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)
OIL CLEARANCE OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING
Method of Measurement
lInstall the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and the
cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
Using a inside micrometer measure the inner diameter of con-
necting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of connecting rod bearing) – (Outer
diameter of crankshaft pin)
lIf clearance cannot be adjusted within the standard, grind crank-
shaft pin and use undersized bearing. Refer toEM-74, "
HOW
TO SELECT CONNCTING ROD BEARING".
Method of Using Plastigauge
lRemove oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the surfaces of
each bearing completely.
lCut a plastigauge slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
lInstall the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap,
and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate the crankshaft.
lRemove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the
scale on the plastigauge bag, measure the plastigauge width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in the method by
calculation.Limit:

On-Vehicle Inspection and Service
EES0007F
Check axle and suspension parts for excessive play, wear, and damage.
lMove rear wheels (RH/LH) to check abnormal free play.
lRetighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
lCheck strut for oil leakage and damage.
Wheel AlignmentEES0007G
DESCRIPTION
lMeasure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions” means that fuel, coolant, and
lubricant are full. However, spare tire, jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout.
3. Check wheel bearing axial endplay.
4. Check strut operation.
5. Check each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Check each link and arm for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Check the vehicle posture.
CAMBER
Camber is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
lIf the camber is not within specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
lAlways perform following procedure on a flat surface.
lMake sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before push-
ing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of tread (rear side) of both tires at the
same height as hub center.this mark is a measuring points.
