6. Before servicing the vehicle, protect fenders, upholstery andcarpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons on your person do
not scratch the paint.
7. Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
8. Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
9. Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
10. Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
11. Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as electronic control units).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
12. After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi- cate the proper connection.
13. Use only the lubricants specified in MA section.
14. Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
15. Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
16. When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
17. Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
(Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-
tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal col-
lision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag mod-
ules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a
diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral
cable.
WARNING:
ITo 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 performed by an authorized NISSAN
dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow

Incident Simulation Tests
INTRODUCTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The
following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences
an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
IVehicle vibration
I Heat sensitive
I Freezing
I Water intrusion
I Electrical load
I Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of
the problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the illustration below.
Connectors & harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gen-
tly shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to dupli-
cate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs
intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean
the terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensors & relays
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.

12. Fill reservoir tank up to ªMAXº level, and re-install radiator cap.
13. Run the engine at approximately 2,000 rpm for about oneminute.
14. Stop engine and cool it down, then refill the radiator and the reservoir tank up to the specified level.
Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap by means of a cap tester to see if it
is satisfactory. Radiator cap relief pressure:78-98kPa
(0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system by means of a tester to check
for leakage. Testing pressure:157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator dam-
age.
Checking and Replacing fuel filter and Draining
Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag
to absorb fuel.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Remove fuel filter sensor and drain fuel.

2. Remove fuel filter, using a suitable tool.
3. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket andsmear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
4. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten and additional more than 2/3 turn.
5. Install fuel filter sensor to new filter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line. Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
7. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start drain-
ing. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it excessively. If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
2. Bleed air. Refer to section EC for fuel system bleeding instructions.

paper type)
Clean or replace element more often under dusty driving condi-
tions.

CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap (side with pressure valve) with cap
tester to see if it is satisfactory.Radiator cap relief pressure:108 - 128 kPa
(1.08 - 1.28 bar, 1.1 - 1.3 kg/cm
2, 16 - 18 psi)
Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage. Testing pressure:157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Use of higher pressure than the specified value may cause
damage to radiator.
Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag

CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check fuel filter for fuel leakage, damage and other abnormal
signs.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect harness connector and drain fuel.
2. Remove fuel filter using band-type filter wrench.
3. Remove fuel filter and fuel filter sensor.
CAUTION:
Remove fuel filter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off imme-
diately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine mount
insulator.
