crankshaft position sensor (POS) and camshaft position sen-
sor (PHASE). • Accuracy becomes poor if engine speed
drops below the idle rpm.
• If the signal is interrupted while the engine is
running, an abnormal value may be indicat-
ed.
MAS A/F SE-B1
[V] • The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor is displayed. • When the engine is stopped, a certain value
is indicated.
• When engine is running, specification range is indicated in "SPEC".
B/FUEL SCHDL
[ms] • “Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel injection pulse width
programmed into ECM, prior to any learned on board correc-
tion. • When engine is running, specification range
is indicated in "SPEC".
A/F ALPHA-B1
[%] • The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback correction fac-
tor per cycle is indicated. • When the engine is stopped, a certain value
is indicated.

COOLAN TEMP/S
[ ° C] or [ °F] • The engine coolant temperature (determined by the signal
voltage of the engine coolant temperature sensor) is dis-
played. • When the engine coolant temperature sen-
sor is open or short-circuited, ECM enters
fail-safe mode. The engine coolant temper-
ature determined by the ECM is displayed.

played. • ACCEL SEN 2 signal is converted by ECM
internally. Thus, it differs from ECM terminal
voltage signal.
ACCEL SEN 2
[V]
TP SEN 1-B1
[V]
• The throttle position sensor signal voltage is displayed. • TP SEN 2-B1 signal is converted by ECM in-
ternally. Thus, it differs from ECM terminal
voltage signal.

is displayed.
FUEL LEVEL SE
[V] • The signal voltage of the fuel level sensor is displayed.
START SIGNAL
[ON/OFF] • Indicates start signal status [ON/OFF] computed by the ECM
according to the signals of engine speed and battery voltage. • After starting the engine, [OFF] is displayed
regardless of the starter signal.

OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace.
3.PERFORM POWER BALANCE TEST
With CONSULT-III
1. Perform “POWER BALANCE” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode.
2. Is there any cylinder which does not produce a momentary engine speed drop?
Without CONSULT-III
When disconnecting each fuel inje ctor (1) harness connector one at
a time, is there any cylinder which does not produce a momentary
engine speed drop?

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000005397061
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF 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 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.
STRUT INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage and replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment InspectionINFOID:0000000005397062
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-6, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-19, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)" .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is re commended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be ca pable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated. • Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-17, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignm ent machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators may not be correct.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000005394795
Two different maintenance schedules are provi ded, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.

Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or r eplace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.
• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
