ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (YD22DDTI DIESEL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage >30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, D = Check filter and drain water
NOTE:

Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.

(1) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2) Never use CG-4 oil.

(3) Oil filter element assembly and O-ring seal are replacement parts.

(4) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles), then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles). After first replacement, perform "I"
(checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.

(5) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, perform this maintenance item.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTSPFP:00000
Fluids and LubricantsELS000C8
*1: For further details, see “SAE Viscosity Number”.
*2: Never use API CG-4.
*3: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion w ithin the
engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be
covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*4: Contact a Nissan dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXRON
TM III/MER-
CONTM Automatic Transmission Fluid.

6. Check fluid condition.

If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.

If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-12,
"RADIATOR" , CO-14, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
7. Install the removed dipstick in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
Changing A/T FluidELS000BW
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
4. Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.
5. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-38, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2
through 5.
Checking Transfer OilELS000BT
Check for oil leakage and oil level.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking oil level.
Changing Transfer OilELS000BU
1. Drain oil from drain plug and refill with new gear oil.

ROTOR CHECK
1. Resistance test

Not within the specified values... Replace rotor.
2. Insulator test

Continuity exists... Replace rotor.
3. Check slip ring for wear.

Not within the specified values... Replace rotor.
BRUSH CHECK
1. Check smooth movement of brush.

Not smooth... Check brush holder and clean.
2. Check brush for wear.

Replace brush if it is worn down to the limit line.
PULLEY CHECK (WITH CLUTCH TYPE)
1. Check for locking (Outer ring is turned counterclockwise when
viewed from the rear).

If it rotates in both directions... Replace pulley.
2. Check for dragging (Outer ring is turned clockwise when viewed
from the rear).

If it locks or unusual resistance is felt... Replace pulley.
STATOR CHECK
1. Continuity test

No continuity... Replace stator.Resistance : Refer to SDS. SC-34, "
Alternator" .
