FOREWORD
This manual contains maintenance and repair procedures for NISSAN
TERRANO, model R20 series.
In order to assure your safety and the efficient functioning of the vehicle,
this manual should be read thoroughly. It is especially important that the
PRECAUTIONS in the GI section be completely understood before starting
any repair task.
All information in this manual is based on the latest product information
at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes in speci-
fications and methods at any time without notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of the
technician and the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a man-
ner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician and the
tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service procedures,
tools or parts which are not specifically recommended by NISSAN must
first completely satisfy himself that neither his safety nor the vehicle's
safety will be jeopardized by the service method selected.

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

insulation (either just before the harness connectors or for
the complete harness), for easy identification.
Precautions for NATS
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without
the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS
registered.
The NATS security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The
indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº posi-
tion. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped
with the anti-theft system.
IWhen NATS detects trouble, the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) blinks.
This blinking indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning, so
prompt service is required.
I If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while the engine is
running, return the vehicle to the workshop before turning the
ignition switch ªOFFº.
Once the ignition switch is turned ªOFFº, the engine can not be
started.
I When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs) CON-
SULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software is neces-
sary.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual,
NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
I When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it
may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.
I When failing to start the engine first-time using the key of
NATS, starts as follows:
(1) Turn ignition key to ªOFFº.
(2) Wait approx. 5 seconds.
(3) Turn ignition key to ªSTARTº again while keeping the key
apart from any others on key-chain.

Work Flow
STEPDESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred. The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHATVehicle Model, Engine, Transmission and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary. Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to ªIncident Simulation Testsº next page.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including: POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
System Operation Descriptions
Applicable Service Manual Sections
Check for any Service Bulletin.
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage. Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness
Layouts.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad- vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

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.
