Precautions For Xenon Headlamp ServiceINFOID:0000000006225830
WARNING:
Comply with the follow ing warnings to prevent any serious accident.
 Disconnect the battery cable (neg ative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-
ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltage
generated parts.
 Never work with wet hands.
 Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assem bling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon
headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect th e power supply to the vehicle-side connector.
(Turning it ON outside the lamp case m ay cause fire or visual impairments.)
 Never touch the bulb glass immediately afte r turning it OFF. It is extremely hot.
CAUTION:
Comply with the follow ing cautions to prevent an y error and malfunction.
 Install the xenon bulb securely. (I nsufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-
tor, the housing, etc. by high-vol tage leakage or corona discharge.)
 Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
 Never touch the xenon bulb glass with ha nds. Never put oil and grease on it.
 Dispose of the used xenon bulb after p acking it in thick vinyl without breaking it.
 Never wipe out dirt and cont amination with organic solven t (thinner, gasoline, etc.).
WorkINFOID:0000000006225831
 After removing and installing the opening/closing parts, be sure to carry out fitting adjustments to check their
operational.
 Check the lubrication level, damage, and wear of each part. If necessary, grease or replace it.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006219727
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air ba g inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedur e without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006217650
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

COMPRESSION PRESSURE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
InspectionINFOID:0000000006289521
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-153, "
Work Procedure".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-III is not used to release fuel pr essure leave the fuel pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R. NOTE:
 For the fuse number, refer to EC-114, "
Wiring Diagram".
 For the fuse arrangement, refer to PG-143, "
Fuse, Connector and Terminal Arrangement".
4. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-25, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-29, "
Exploded View".
6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
7. Install the compression tester with Tool [SST: EG15050500 (J- 45402)] into the spark plug hole.
8. Measure compression pressure using compressi on gauge connected with flexible type adapter (commer-
cial service tool).
9. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.
CAUTION:
 Measure a six-cylinder under the same conditio ns since a measurement depends on measure-
ment conditions (engine water temperature, etc.).
 Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
 If the engine speed is out of the specified range, c heck battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity. Refer to PG-159, "
How to Handle Battery".
 If compression pressure is below the minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, pi ston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After checking, measure compression pressure again.
 If a cylinder has low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, pi ston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal- functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly. Refer to EM-107, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
 If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-
inder head gaskets. Refer to EM-87, "
Removal and Installation".
10. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
11. Start the engine, and check that the engine runs smoothly.

FRONT COMBINATION LAMP
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : Xenon HeadlampINFOID:0000000006213889
OUTLINE
 The lamp light source is by the arch discharge by
applying high voltage into the xenon gas-filled bulb instead
of the halogen bulb filament.
 Sight becomes more natural and brighter because the amount of light are gained adequately and the color of
light is sunshine-like white.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
ILLUMINATION PRINCIPLE
1. Discharging starts in high voltage pulse between bulb elec- trodes.
2. Xenon gas is activated by curr ent between electrodes. Pale light
is emitted.
3. The luminous tube (bulb) temperature elevates. Evaporated halide is activated by discharge. The color of light changes into
white.
NOTE:
 Brightness and the color of light may change slightly immediately after the headlamp turned ON until the xenon bulb becomes sta-
ble. This is not malfunction.
 Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is not
malfunction.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Representative malfunction examples are; "Light does not turn ON", "Light blinks", and "Brightness is inade-
quate." The cause often be the xenon bulb. Such malf unctions, however, are occurred occasionally by HID
control unit malfunction or lamp case malfunction. S pecify the malfunctioning part with diagnosis procedure.
WARNING:
 Never touch the harness, HID control unit, the inside and metal part of lamp when turning the head-
lamp ON or operating the lighting switch.
 Never work with wet hands.
CAUTION:
 Never perform HID control unit circuit diagnosis with a circuit tester or an equivalent.
 Temporarily install the headlamps on the vehicle. Co nnect the battery to the connector (vehicle side)
when checking ON/OFF status.
 Disconnect the battery negative terminal before di sconnecting the lamp socket connector or the har-
ness connector.
 Check for fusing of the fusible link(s), open around connector, short, disconnection if the symptom
is caused by electric error.
NOTE:
 Turn the switch OFF once before turni ng ON, if the ON/OFF is inoperative.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
