Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or
hitting it.
Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to
rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it.
If water is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in
the vehicle.
Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.
Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.
Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the
upper and lower covers.
When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit
from damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.
When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use
the specified check adapter.

DescriptionEAS001XR
CONSULT-II is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the
vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various
kinds of diagnostic tests.
Refer to “CONSULT Operator's Manual” for more information.

Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Replacement EAS001XT
CONSULT-II contains a nickel metal hydride battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WAR NIN G:
Replace the nickel metal hydride battery with Genuine CONSULT-II battery only. Use of another bat-
tery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard used battery conforming to the local regulations.
Checking EquipmentEAS001XU
When ordering the below equipment, contact your NISSAN distributor.
CAUTION:
Previous CONSULT-II “I” and “Y” DLC-I and DLC-II cables should NOT be used anymore because
their DDL connector pins can be damaged during cable swapping.
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self- diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
If CONSULT-II CONVERTER is not connected with CONSULT-II, the vehicle enters “FAIL SAFE
MODE” which will “LIGHT UP the HEAD LIGHT” and /or “COOLING FAN ROTATING” when CON-
SULT-II is started.
NOTE:
The CONSULT-II must be used in conjunction with a program card.
CONSULT-II does not require loading (Initialization) procedure.
Be sure the CONSULT-II is turned OFF before installing or removing a program card.
CONSULT-II Start ProcedureEAS001XV
NOTE:
Turning ignition switch off when performing CAN diagnosis could cause CAN memory to be erased.
1. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the
data link connector.
Tool name Description
NISSAN CONSULT-II (J-44200)
1. CONSULT-II unit (Tester internal soft: Resident
Version 3.4.0) and accessories.
2. Program card UED05B-1 and AEN04A-1 (for
NATS) or later, to confirm the best combination

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items:
NOTE:
The preceding schematic is an example and may not be a true representation of the vehicle. The actual DDL1
circuits (CAN lines) from DLC pins 6 and 14 as well as the DDL2 circuit (K-line) from DLC pin 7 may be con-
nected to more than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
BCIA0029E

Symptom Check item
CONSULT-II cannot access
any system.
CONSULT-II DLC power supply circuit (Terminal 8) and ground circuit (Terminal 4). For detailed cir-
cuit, refer to EC-667, "
Wiring Diagram" .
CONSULT-II DLC cable and CONSULT-II CONVERTER.
CONSULT-II cannot access
individual system. (Other sys-
tems can be accessed.)
CONSULT-II program card (Check the appropriate CONSULT-II program card for the system.
Refer to GI-38, "
Checking Equipment" .
Power supply and ground circuit for the control unit of the system (For detailed circuit, refer to wir-
ing diagram for each system.)

To w Tr u c k To w i n gEAS001FY
WAR NIN G:
Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to
support the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing opera-
tion. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
Always attach safety chains before towing.
When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear
(i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
NISSAN does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
When towing with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the
ignition key to the OFF position and move the transmission
selector lever to N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to
OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight
ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place
the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in
damage to the steering lock mechanism.

4WD MODELS
NISSAN does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
When towing with the front wheels on the ground or rear
wheels on the ground (If you do not use towing dollies): Set
the free-running hubs to the free position and move the
transfer case shift lever into the “2H” position.
When towing with the front on the ground: Turn the ignition
key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straight ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
Towing Point
CAUTION:
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid
damaging the vehicle body, use proper towing equipment when
towing.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a stuck vehicle)EAS001FZ
Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle or the
towing hooks (if so equipped). Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
Use the towing hook (if so equipped) only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never
tow the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.
The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Never pull the hook
at an angle.
Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake,
or cooling systems.
Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or
recovery.
WA RN ING:
Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
