2006 NISSAN PATROL Engine

Description for Work Flow
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP IGet detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident/symptom occurred using the
``DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET'' as shown on EC-43.
STEP IIBefore con®rming the concern, check and write down (print out using CONSULT) the Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), then erase the code. Refer to EC-30.
Study the relationship between the cause, speci®ed by DTC, and the symptom described by the customer. (The
``Symptom Matrix Chart'' will be useful. Refer to EC-48.)
STEP IIITry to con®rm the symptom and under what conditions the incident occurs.
The ``DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEET'' is useful to verify the incident. Connect CONSULT to the vehicle in DATA
MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be veri®ed, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. Refer to GI section.
If the malfunction code is detected, skip STEP IV and perform STEP V.
STEP IVTry to detect the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) by driving in (or performing) the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE''. Check and read the DTC by using CONSULT.
During the DTC veri®cation, be sure to connect CONSULT to the vehicle in DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode
and check real time diagnosis results.
If the incident cannot be veri®ed, perform INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS. Refer to GI section.
In case the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE'' is not available, perform the ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK''
instead. The DTC cannot be displayed by this check, however, this simpli®ed ``check'' is an effective alternative.
The ``NG'' result of the ``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' is the same as the DTC detection.
STEP VTake the appropriate action based on the results of STEP I through IV.
If the malfunction code is indicated, proceed to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC XX.
If the normal code is indicated, proceed to the BASIC INSPECTION. Refer to EC-46. Then perform inspections
according to the Symptom Matrix Chart. Refer to EC-48.
STEP VIIdentify where to begin diagnosis based on the relationship study between symptom and possible causes. Inspect
the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage using (tracing) ``Harness Layouts''.
Gently shake the related connectors, components or wiring harness with CONSULT set in ``DATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)'' mode.
Check the voltage of the related ECM terminals or monitor the output data from the related sensors with CON-
SULT. Refer to EC-54.
The ``DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE'' in EC section contains a description based on open circuit inspection. A short
circuit inspection is also required for the circuit check in the DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. For details, refer to GI
section (``Circuit Inspection'', ``HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT'').
Repair or replace the malfunction parts.
STEP VIIOnce you have repaired the circuit or replaced a component, you need to run the engine in the same conditions
and circumstances which resulted in the customer's initial complaint.
Perform the ``DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE'' and con®rm the normal code (Diagnostic trouble code No. 55)
is detected. If the incident is still detected in the ®nal check, perform STEP VI by using a different method from the
previous one.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, be sure to erase the unnecessary (already ®xed) DTC in ECM. (Refer
to EC-30.)
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð Work Flow
EC-45

Basic Inspection
Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
+Headlamp switch is OFF,
+Air conditioner switch is OFF,
+Rear defogger switch is OFF,
+Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any recent
repairs that may indicate a related
problem, or the current need for sched-
uled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the fol-
lowing:
+Harness connectors for improper con-
nections
+Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
improper connections
+Wiring for improper connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from fuel
system. Refer to ``DRAINING WATER'',
``Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter
and Draining Water'' of ``ENGINE
MAINTENANCE'' in MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT TO THE VEHICLE.
Connect ``CONSULT'' to the data link con-
nector for CONSULT and select
``ENGINE'' from the menu. Refer to
EC-36.
DOES ENGINE START?
Ye s
cNo
Turn ignition switch OFF,
wait 5 seconds and then
start engine. If engine fails
to start, check diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
Run engine for 10 minutes.
CHECK IDLE SPEED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read engine idle speed in ``DATA
MONITOR'' mode with CONSULT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check idle speed using tachom-
eter tester.

jA
CHECK INJECTION TIMING.
1. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its com-
pression stroke.
2. Remove injection tubes and air bleeder
on the back of injection pump.
3. Set dial gauge so its indicator points to
somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0 mm
(0.039 and 0.079 in) on the scale.
4. Turn crankshaft 1 turn clockwise and
check that dial gauge indicates the
same value again.
5. Turn crankshaft counterclockwise about
100 degrees, then turn crankshaft
clockwise slowly, and set dial gauge
indicator to 0 mm at the position it
stops.
6. Turn crankshaft clockwise and set the
injection timing mark on the crankshaft
pulley to the timing indicator.
7. Read plunger lift.
Plunger lift:
0.92 0.04 mm (0.0362 0.0016 in)
+When repeating the checking, start
with step 5.
NG
cOK
+Bleed air from fuel sys-
tem.
+After this inspection,
unnecessary diagnostic
trouble code No. might
be displayed.
Erase the stored
memory in ECM.
Refer to ``ON BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION'' (EC-30)
and ``HOW TO ERASE
DTC'' (EC-30).
OK
INSPECTION END
ADJUSTING
1. If plunger lift is not within the speci®ed
value, adjust by turning injection pump.
+If indication is smaller than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body away
from engine.
+If indication is larger than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body towards
engine.
2. Tighten injection pump securing bolts
and nuts.
Nut:
: 16-21Nzm
(1.6 - 2.1 kg-m, 12 - 15 ft-lb)
Bolt:
: 22-29Nzm
(2.2 - 3.0 kg-m, 16 - 22 ft-lb)
3. Remove dial gauge and install air
bleeder with new washer.
4. Install injection tubes.
Flare nut:
: 22-25Nzm
(2.2 - 2.5 kg-m, 16 - 18 ft-lb)
5. Bleed air from fuel system.
Refer to ``DRAINING WATER'', ``Check-
ing and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water'' of ``ENGINE MAINTE-
NANCE'' in MA section.
