CAUTION:
Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used,
the MIL may come on.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on.
Use only a genuine NISSAN rubber tube as a replacement.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS005IM
NOTE:
If DTC P0456 is displayed with P0442, first perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0456.
After repair, make sure that the hoses and clips are installed properly.
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Open engine hood before conducting following procedure.
If any of following conditions are met just before the DTC confirmation procedure, leave the vehi-
cle for more than 1 hour.
–Fuel filler cap is removed.
–Fuel is refilled or drained.
–EVAP component parts is/are removed.
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.

DTC P2A00, P2A03 A/F SENSOR 1PFP:22693
Component DescriptionNBS005PD
The air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is a planar dual-cell limit current sen-
sor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor 1 is the combination of a
Nernst concentration cell (sensor cell) with an oxygen-pump cell,
which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement = 1, but also in the
lean and rich range. Together with its control electronics, the sensor
outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a wide range (0.7 <
< air).
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion gap at the
electrode of the oxygen pump and Nernst concentration cell, where
they are brought to thermodynamic balance.
An electronic circuit controls the pump current through the oxygen-
pump cell so that the composition of the exhaust gas in the diffusion
gap remains constant at = 1. Therefore, the A/F sensor 1 is able to
indicate air/fuel ratio by this pumping of current. In addition, a heater
is integrated in the sensor to ensure the required operating tempera-
ture of 700 - 800°C (1,292 - 1,472°F).
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeNBS005PE
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS005PF
To judge the malfunction, the A/F signal computed by ECM from the A/F sensor 1 signal is monitored not to be
shifted to LEAN side or RICH side.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS005PG
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch ON and select “SELF-LEARNING CONT” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CON-
SULT-II.

Checking Fuel LinesNBS005R8
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsNBS005R9
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-6, "Precautions for Fuel
(Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required) (VK45DE Engine Models)" .
Before removing fuel line parts, perform out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-88, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-790, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).
–Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.
After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at
connections.
–Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come
on.
For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-39, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VQ35DE) or
EC-741, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VK45DE).
For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-46, "
ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR
RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VQ35DE) or EC-748, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VK45DE).

On-Vehicle Inspection NES000IA
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF UPPER LINK BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage and breakage of installation positions.
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000IB
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
Check road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-6, "ROAD WHEEL" .
Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-5, "WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
Check transverse link ball joint axial end play. Refer to FSU-14, "INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" .
Check shock absorber operation.
Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
Check each of suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deforma-
tion and other damage.
Check vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
