SNOW MODE SWITCH
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
SNOW MODE SWITCHPFP:25130
DescriptionABS00A2I
The snow mode switch signal is sent to the “unified meter and A/C amp.” from the snow mode switch. The
“unified meter and A/C amp.” then sends the signal to the ECM by CAN communication line.
The snow mode is used for driving or starting the vehicle on snowy roads or slippery areas. If the snow mode
is activated, the vehicle speed will not be accelerated immediately than your original pedal in due to avoid the
vehicle slip. In other words, ECM controls the rapid engine torque change by controlling the electric throttle
control actuator operating speed.

Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectABS00B3J
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″ LOCK ″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for Drain Engine Coolant and Engine OilABS00E3J
Drain engine coolant and engine oil when the engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingABS00E3K

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyABS00E3L

When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or unin-
structed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel pins,
make sure that dowel pins are installed in the original position.

Cover openings of engine system with a tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be
used in the step.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementABS00E3M
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check on Fuel Leakage
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with the engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, make sure there are no fuel leaks at connection points.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking at points out of clear sight.
2. Start the engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again that there are no fuel leaks at connection points.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the engine immediately after stopped, as the engine becomes extremely hot.

Inspection for Leaks
The followings are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil
and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

When press-fitting crankshaft pulley with plastic hammer, tap on its center portion (not circumference).
c. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
d. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley aligning with angle mark on crankshaft pulley bolt. Then, further retighten bolt by 60
degrees (Angle tightening).
e. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from front) to confirm it turns smoothly.
18. For the following operations, perform steps in the reverse order of removal.
