PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EES0010X
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WA RN ING:
To 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.
Improper 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.
Do 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 and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Rear SuspensionEES0010Y
When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.
Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble DiagnosisEES0010Z
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams".
PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" for power distribution circuit.
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
GI-11, "How to Follow Trouble Diagnoses".
GI-27, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident".

REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRING
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
8. Remove the rear lower link adjusting bolt and nut from the rear
suspension member using power tool, then remove the rear
lower link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the coil spring and rubber seats for deformation, cracks, or other damage and replace if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Tighten the nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-25, "Components" .
When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear
coil springs, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point
out toward the wheel and tire assembly.
After installing the rear lower link and coil spring, check the
wheel alignment and adjust if necessary. Refer to RSU-27,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

PLANETARY CARRIER
Measure end play of each pinion gear, and make sure the mea-
surement is within specification shown below. If out of specifica-
tion, replace planetary carrier assembly with new one.
Check working face of each gear, bearing and others for dam-
age, burrs, partial wear, dents and other abnormality. If any is
found, replace planetary carrier assembly with new one.
SUN GEAR
Check if oil passage of sun gear assembly is clogged. For this,
try to pass a 3.6 mm (0.142 in) dia. wire through oil passage as
shown.
Check sliding/contact surface of each gear, bearing and others
for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents, and other abnormality. If
any is found, replace sun gear assembly with new one.
INTERNAL GEAR
Check internal gear teeth for damage, partial wear, dents and
other abnormality. If any is found, replace internal gear with new
one.
SHIFT ROD COMPONENTS
Check working face of shift rod and fork for wear, partial wear,
bending and other abnormality. If any is found, replace with new
one.Pinion gear end play : 0.1 - 0.7 mm (0.004 - 0.028 in)

ment is out of specification, replace inner and outer gears
together with new ones as a set.
MAIN OIL PUMP
1. Check inner and outer circumference, tooth face, and side-face
of inner and outer gears for damage or abnormal wear.
2. Measure side clearance between main oil pump housing edge
and inner gear/outer gear.
3. Make sure side clearance is within specification. If the measure-
ment is out of specification, replace inner and outer gears with
new ones as a set.
MAINSHAFT
Check surfaces which contact sun gear, clutch drum, clutch hub,
press flange, clutch piston, each bearing, etc. for damage, peel,
partial wear, dents, bending, or other abnormal damage. If any is
found, replace with new one.
