Any monitored item that does not match the vehicle being diagnosed is deleted from the display automatically.
ACTIVE TEST MODE
Test Item
VHCL SPD CUTNON/
CUT  Indicates the vehicle cruise condition.
NON: Vehicle speed is maintained at the ASCD set
speed.
CUT: Vehicle speed increased to excessively high
compared with the ASCD set speed, and ASCD op-
eration is cut off.
LO SPEED CUT NON/
CUT  Indicates the vehicle cruise condition.
NON: Vehicle speed is maintained at the ASCD set
speed.
CUT: Vehicle speed decreased to excessively low
compared with the ASCD set speed, and ASCD op-
eration is cut off.
AT OD MONITOR ON/OFF  Indicates [ON/OFF] condition of A/T O/D according
to the input signal from the TCM.
AT OD CANCEL ON/OFF  Indicates [ON/OFF] condition of A/T O/D cancel
signal sent from the TCM.
DIST SW ON/OFF  Indicates [ON/OFF] condition from DISTANCE
switch signal.
CRUISE LAMP ON/OFF  Indicates [ON/OFF] condition of CRUISE lamp de-
termined by the ECM according to the input signals.
SET LAMP ON/OFF  Indicates [ON/OFF] condition of SET lamp deter-
mined by the ECM according to the input signals.
A/F ADJ-B1 —  Indicates the correction of factor stored in ECM. The factor is calculated from the difference be-
tween the target air-fuel ratio stored in ECM and the
air-fuel ratio calculated from A/F sensor 1 signal.

On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000001326131
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary , ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage) On the 1st trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to over-
heating, the MIL will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can dam age the TWC on a second trip, the MIL will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MIL will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration) For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only
light when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sen-
sor signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000001326132
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws when driv-
ing.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conduc ted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Restart engine and let it idle for about 15 minutes.

Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION LOWER 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 bet ween 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.
STRUT INSPECTION
 Check strut for oil leakage, damage and replace if there are. Refer to FSU-10.
Wheel Alignment InspectionINFOID:0000000001327538
DESCRIPTION
 Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and l ubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
 Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
 Check road wheels for runout.
 Check wheel bearing axial end play.
 Check ball joint axial end play of compression rod, upper link, and steering knuckle
 Check shock absorber operation.
 Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
 Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.
 Check vehicle posture.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is recomm ended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that t he 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 ca librated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equi pment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-
ule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specificati ons listed in this Service Manual.
 When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
- This may result in an ERROR.
 Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). DO NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
