How to Perform Efficient Diagnos is for an Electrical IncidentINFOID:0000000005399852
WORK FLOW
INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doi ng so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the c onditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
• Vehicle vibration
• Heat sensitive
• Freezing
• Water intrusion
• Electrical load
SGI838
STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHAT
Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to “Incident Simulation Tests”.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
• Power Supply Routing
• System Operation Descriptions
• Applicable Service Manual Sections
• Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness Lay-
outs.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

• CONSULT-III is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the vehicle side, it will communicate with the contro l unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various kinds
of diagnostic tests.
• Refer to CONSULT-III Operator's Manual for more information.

LIFTING POINT
LIFTING POINT
Special Service ToolINFOID:0000000005399857
CAUTION:
• Every time the vehicle is lifted up, maintain the complete vehicle curb condition.
• Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the front side (engine,
transmission, suspension etc.), support a jack up point on the rear side garage jack with a mission
jack or equivalent.
• Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle,
suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the front side garage jack with a mission jack or equiv-
alent.
• Be careful not to smash or do not do an ything that would affect piping parts.
Garage Jack and Safety Stand and 2-Pole LiftINFOID:0000000005399858
WARNING:
• Park the vehicle on a level surface when using the jack. Make sure to avoid damaging pipes, tubes,
etc. under the vehicle.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands when you have to get under the vehicle.
• Place wheel chocks at both front an d back of the wheels on the ground.
• When lifting the vehicle, open the lift arms as wid e as possible and ensure that the front and rear of
the vehicle are well balanced.
• When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable, fuel lines and
sill spoiler.

Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000005399860
CAUTION:
• All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
• It is necessary to use proper towi ng equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-
ing operation. To wing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
• Always attach safety chains before towing.
• When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If
any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
NISSAN recommends that the vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transaxle.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)INFOID:0000000005399861
• Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling
systems.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front or r ear of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
WARNING:
• Do not spin the tires at high sp eed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of the vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
• Install removable recovery hook securely using wheel nut wrench.
