2011 INFINITI QX56 oil level

MA-30
< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >
CHASSIS MAINTENANCE
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
 Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid. CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
6. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
7. Depress and hold the brake pedal depression to dischar ge 100 cc of brake fluid before tightening the air
bleeder to the specified torque. Refer to BR-42, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is conveyed by the motor, the brake pedal is not necessarily depressed.
8. Release the brake pedal.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 8 until all of the air is out of the brake line and tighten the air bleeder to the specified
torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to BR-42, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
10. Check that no drag feel is present for the rear disc brake. Refer to BR-45, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
: Inspection".
11. Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if t he measurement value is not the standard. Refer to BR-7,
"Inspection and Adjustment".
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL ADJUSTMENT AFTER AIR BLEEDING
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Adjust brake fluid level to the reservoir tank MAX line. CAUTION:
Never adjust with the ignition switch ON.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Check that the reservoir tank brake fluid level is 4 − 12 mm (0.16
− 0.47 in) lower than the MAX line.
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is in the accumulator in pressurized condition,
the reservoir tank brake fluid level should be lower than the MAX
line.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE
 Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage and greaseleakage.
 Check connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
Check ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for looseness, wear, damage and grease leakage.
POWER STEERING FLUID AND LINES
POWER STEERING FLUID AND LINES : InspectionINFOID:0000000006220946
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F).
CAUTION:
 Do not overfill.
 Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chaf ing and deterioration.
 Check rack boots for accumulati on of power steering fluid.
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS : InspectionINFOID:0000000006220947
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
 Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
 Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
 Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
 Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
 Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust
cover for cracks or other damage.
