< BASIC INSPECTION >[K9K]
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
- All the electrical loads are switched off.
- Air conditioning is switched off.
CAUSE
- The engine runs poorly at idle speed, possibly emits white smoke.
1.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR
Refer to EC-1141, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace malfunctioning fuel injector.
2.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND FUEL TEMPERATURE
1. Start engine let it idle speed.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Check “FUEL TEMP” indication is above 60°C (140°F)
4. Check “F/FLOW CORR CYL1“, “F/FLOW CORR CYL2”, “F/FLOW CORR CYL3”, “F/FLOW CORR CYL4”
indication.
Are the reference value 0.3 - 1.9?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 4.
3.CHECK INTERNAL FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the return system connections at the fuel injectors and close off the return pipes so they are
leak-tight. While the engine is idling, check the return flow rate at the fuel injector. After 5 minutes the
return volume must be between 16 - 24 ml per fuel injector.
Is there more than 24 ml or less than 16 ml of return for each fuel injector?
Yes >> Replace malfunctioning fuel injector.
No >> INSPECTION END
4.CHECK COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Check compression pressure. Refer to EM-267, "
Inspection".
>> INSPECTION END

1.PRECONDITIONING
Connect a CONSULT-III
Connect a battery charger
Electric load switch is OFF
Wait for the engine to cool [engine coolant temperature < 60°C (140°F and air temperature < 50°C (122°F)].
NOTE:
While the ECM is being programmed the cooling fan motors are triggered automatically.
>> GO TO 2.
2.SAVE ECM DATA
Turn ignition switch ON.
Perform “SAVE DATA FOR CPU REPLC” in WORK SUPPORT mode with CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001527642
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 SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
Do 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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000001527633
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000001527634
NOTE:
This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
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 NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism 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.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000001606115
Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not
described in each individual section.
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001606116
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 SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
To 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
Do 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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000001606117
NOTE:
This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
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 NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism 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.
