Total Preload Torque
1. Rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.
2. Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
3. Turn drive pinion in both directions several times to set bearing
rollers.
4. Measure total preload with preload gauge.
NOTE:
Total preload torque = Pinion bearing preload torque + Side bearing preload torque
lIf measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to check and adjust each part. Adjust pinion
bearing preload and side bearing preload.
Adjust pinion bearing preload first, then adjust side bearing preload.
Tooth Contact
Checking gear tooth contact pattern is necessary to verify correct relationship between drive gear and drive
pinion. Gears which are not positioned in proper arrangement may be noisy and/or have a short life. Check
gear tooth contact pattern to obtain the best contact for low noise and long life.
1. Remove carrier cover. Refer toRFD-86, "
Differential Assembly".
2. Thoroughly clean drive gear and drive pinion teeth.
3. Apply red lead to drive gear.
CAUTION:
Applyredleadtoboththefacesof3to4gearsat4loca-
tions evenly spaced on drive gear.Tool number : ST3127S000

Gear ratio 3.538 Type:
2.34 - 4.34 N·m (0.24 - 0.44 kg-m, 21- 38 in-lb)
Gear ratio 3.692 Type:
2.32 - 4.34 N·m (0.24 - 0.44 kg-m, 21 - 38 in-lb)
When the preload torque is greater than specification
On pinion bearings: Replace collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Loosen side bearing adjuster.
When the preload torque is less than specification
On pinion bearings: Tighten drive pinion lock nut.
On side bearings: Tighten side bearing adjuster.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS001Y8
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceEHS001Y9
lDo not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
lBefore servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
lDiagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “Ü” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.
lThe spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
lHandle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module standing with stud bolt side setting bottom.
lConduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
lAfter air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
lAlways replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
Precautions for Trouble DiagnosisEHS001YA
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:
lGI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams"in GI section
lPG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT"in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
lGI-11, "How to Follow Trouble Diagnoses"in GI section
lGI-24, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident"in GI section
Check for any service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.
