PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
If YES, GO TO 2.
If NO, GO TO 5.
2. Is there any indication other than indications relating to CAN communication system in the self-diagnosis
results?
If YES, GO TO 3.
If NO, GO TO 4.
3. Based on self-diagnosis results unrelated to CAN communication, carry out the inspection.
4. Malfunctions may be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control units carrying out CAN communica-
tion. Therefor, erase the self-diagnosis results.
5. Diagnose CAN communication system. Refer to BRC-10, "
CAN COMMUNICATION" .
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS003QD
During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from
engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnosis. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.
If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near control module, ABS function may have a malfunction or
error.
If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.
If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or modified, the VDC OFF indica-
tor lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushings, etc.), tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake system (pads, rotors, calipers, etc.), components related to engine
(muffler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
Driving with broken or excessively worn suspension components, tires or brake system components may
cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly.
When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp curves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the
engine.
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. with VDC turned off may cause the yaw
rate/side G sensor to indicate a problem. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting the engine.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS003QE
Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to terminal to be measured.
Maximum open terminal voltage of tester in use must be less than 7.0V.
Before checking harnesses, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THREE WAY CATALYST
2004 QX56
c. Remove the air fuel ratio A/F sensors from both left and right
exhaust manifolds using Tool.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the air fuel ratio A/F sensors
Discard any air fuel ratio A/F sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor. Replace it with a
new one.
7. Remove the front cross bar.
8. Remove the exhaust manifold (left bank) using the following
steps.
a. Remove the exhaust front tube using power tool. Refer to EX-3,
"Removal and Installation" .
b. Remove the exhaust manifold cover.
c. Loosen the nuts in reverse order shown using power tool.
d. Remove the exhaust studs from positions 2, 4, 6, 8 and remove
the left exhaust manifold.
9. Remove the exhaust manifold (right bank) using the following
steps.
a. Remove the exhaust front tube using power tool. Refer to EX-3,
"Removal and Installation" .
b. Remove the oil level gauge guide. Refer to EM-22, "
OIL PAN
AND OIL STRAINER" .
c. Remove the exhaust manifold cover.
d. Loosen the nuts in reverse order shown using power tool.
e. Remove the exhaust studs from positions 2, 4, 6, 8 and remove the right exhaust manifold.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion
Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flat-
ness of each exhaust manifold flange surface.
If flatness exceeds the limit, replace the exhaust manifold.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Install a new exhaust manifold gasket with the top of the triangu-
lar up mark on it facing up and its coated face (gray side) toward
the exhaust manifold side.Tool number : — (J-44626)
