CONSULT-II DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE FUNCTION
NOTE:

When any initialization is performed, all IDs previously registered will be erased and all NATS ignition keys
must be registered again.

The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this case, the system will show “DIFFERENCE
OF KEY” or “LOCK MODE” as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT-II screen.

In rare case, “CHAIN OF ECM-IMMU” might be stored as a self-diagnostic result during key registration
procedure, even if the system is not malfunctioning.

ton is pressed?
YES or NO
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. TRANSMITTER CHECK
Check transmitter with Tool. For details, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
OK or NG
OK >> Receiver or hand-held transmitter malfunction, not vehicle related.
NG >> Replace transmitter.
3. POWER SUPPLY CHECK
1. Disconnect transmitter.
2. Check voltage between HomeLink® universal transceiver connector R106 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair or replace fuse or harness.

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Corrosion ProtectionEIS002U5
DESCRIPTION
To provide improved corrosion prevention, the following anti-corrosive measures have been implemented in
NISSAN production plants. When repairing or replacing body panels, it is necessary to use the same anti-cor-
rosive measures.
ANTI-CORROSIVE PRECOATED STEEL (GALVANNEALED STEEL)
To improve repairability and corrosion resistance, a new type of anti-
corrosive precoated steel sheet has been adopted replacing conven-
tional zinc-coated steel sheet.
Galvannealed steel is electroplated and heated to form Zinc-iron
alloy, which provides excellent and long term corrosion resistance
with cationic electrode position primer.
Nissan Genuine Service Parts are fabricated from galvannealed steel. Therefore, it is recommended that
GENUINE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain the anti-corrosive perfor-
mance built into the vehicle at the factory.
PHOSPHATE COATING TREATMENT AND CATIONIC ELECTRODEPOSITION PRIMER
A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrode position primer, which provide excellent corrosion pro-
tection, are employed on all body components.
CAUTION:
Confine paint removal during welding operations to an absolute
minimum.
Nissan Genuine Service Parts are also treated in the same manner. Therefore, it is recommended that GENU-
INE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corrosive performance built
into the vehicle at the factory.

Foam RepairEIS002UB
During factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the
vehicle. Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.
URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS
Use commercially available spray foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle. Read
instructions on product for fill procedures.
FILL PROCEDURES
1. Fill procedures after installation of service part.
–Remove foam material remaining on vehicle side.
–Clean area in which foam was removed.
–Install service part.
–Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill in enough to close gap with the service
part.
2. Fill procedures before installation of service part.
–Remove foam material remaining on vehicle side.
–Clean area in which foam was removed.
–Fill foam material on wheelhouse outer side.
NOTE:
Fill in enough to close gap with service part while avoiding
flange area.
–Install service part.
NOTE:

DESCRIPTION
This section is prepared for technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience in repairing col-
lision-damaged vehicles and also use modern service tools and equipment. Persons unfamiliar with body
repair techniques should not attempt to repair collision-damaged vehicles by using this section.
Technicians are also encouraged to read Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) in order to ensure that the orig-
inal functions and quality of the vehicle can be maintained. The Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) contains
additional information, including cautions and warnings, that are not including in this manual. Technicians
should refer to both manuals to ensure proper repairs.
Please note that this information is prepared for worldwide usage, and as such, certain procedures may not

Front pillar butt joint can be determined anywhere within shaded
area as shown in the figure. The best location for the butt joint is
at position A due to the construction of the vehicle. Refer to the
front pillar section.

Determine cutting position and record distance from the locating
indent. Use this distance when cutting the service part. Cut outer
front pillar over 60 mm above inner front pillar cut position.

Prepare a cutting jig to make outer pillar easier to cut. Also, this
will permit service part to be accurately cut at joint position.

An example of cutting operation using a cutting jig is as follows.
1. Mark cutting lines.
A: Cut position of outer pillar
B: Cut position of inner pillar
2. Align cutting line with notch on jig. Clamp jig to pillar.
3. Cut outer pillar along groove of jig. (At position A)
4. Remove jig and cut remaining portions.
5. Cut inner pillar at position B in same manner.
