CONSULT-II does not require loading (Initialization) procedure.

Be sure the CONSULT-II is turned off before installing or removing a program card.
CAUTION:

If CONSULT-ll is used with no connection of CONSULT-ll CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.

If CONVERTER is not connected with CONSULT-ll, vehicle occur the "FAIL-SAFE MODE" which is
"LIGHT UP the HEADLIGHT" and/or "Cooling FAN ROTATING" when CONSULT-ll is started.
CONSULT-II Start ProcedureEAS0017Y
1. Turn off the ignition switch.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the
data link connector.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” or “System Shortcut”
(eg : Engine) on the screen.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine oil to get on mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage mounting insulator.

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to figure of components. Refer to EM-78, "
Removal and Installation" .

Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Use procedure below to make sure there is no fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, make sure there
are no fuel leaks at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again if there are no fuel leaks at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, engine oil, working fluid,
fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.

CYLINDER HEAD

2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.

Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.

This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to approximately 110 to 130°C (230 to
266°F) in oil bath.
4. After cooling valve seats sufficiently with dry ice, press fit it to
cylinder head.
CAUTION:

Do not touch the cooled valve seats directly by hand.

Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using the valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool), finish
processing referring to the dimensions shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
When using the valve seat cutter set, grasp cutter handle
with both hands, press cutter onto contacting face all
around, and cut thoroughly. If cutter is pressed unevenly or
repeatedly, the valve seat surface may be damaged.
Grind to obtain the dimensions indicated in the figure. Refer to
