Inspection procedure
1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT CHECK 1
Check the self-diagnosis results.
CAUTION:
When vehicle on a turn-table at an entrance of parking lot or on a moving unit, ESP OFF indicator
lamp turns ON, and the self-diagnosis with CONSULT-II may indicate that yaw rate sensor system is
malfunction. In this case, yaw rate sensor is not malfunction. Move the vehicle from the turn-table or
other moving unit, and restart the engine. This will return the status normal.
Are
“ YAW RATE SENSOR ” and “ SIDE G-SEN CIRCUIT ” indicated in the self-diagnosis results.
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> INSPECTION END.

POWER STEERING FLUID

POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelEGS0004B

Check the fluid level with the engine OFF.

Check that fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks on tank.
Fluid level should not exceed MAX mark. Excessive fluid will
cause fluid to leak from cap.

Note that fluid level can change depending on temperature of
fluid. HIGH and LOW marks are shown on tank to indicate the
proper level at high temperature and low temperature respec-
tively.
CAUTION:

Never reuse drained power steering fluid.

Use DEXRONTM III or equivalent. Never use Nissan Power Steering Fluid Special, Nissan Matic
Fluid C, or D.
Checking Fluid LeakageEGS0004C
Check hydraulic connections for any leakage, crack, damage, loose-
ness, or wear.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed at idle.
2. Turn steering wheel several times from stop to stop.
3. Turn the steering wheel clockwise or counter clockwise until it
reaches the stop and hold it for five seconds. Check for fluid
leak.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel at stop for 15 seconds or longer.
Otherwise, pump may be damaged.
4. If any leak is found on joint, loosen and retighten flair nut. Excessive tightening may damage O-ring,
washer, or connector.
Bleeding Hydraulic SystemEGS0004D
1. Lift vehicle.
2. Fill tank up to MAX mark. Turn steering wheel several times from stop to stop. Add fluid if fluid level goes
down. Repeat this step until there is no fluid decrease and no bubble in tank.
3. Start engine and repeat step above with engine at idle. Continue step until no decrease in fluid happens.
If bleeding is not complete, following symptoms can be observed.

Bubbles are created in reservoir tank.

Rattling noise can be heard from oil pump.

Whining noise can be heard from oil pump.
Turn steering wheel slowly or stop vehicle. Sound of fluid movement may be heard from gear valve and
pump. This sound has nothing to do with steering performance or durability.HOT : Oil temperature 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
COLD : Oil temperature 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F)
