FUEL PRESSURE
4. Connect fuel hose for fuel pressure check (1) to fuel tube
(engine side) with clamp (2) as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Wipe off oil or dirt from hose insertion part using clothmoistened with gasoline.
Apply proper amount of gasoli ne between top of the fuel
tube (3) and No.1 spool (4).
Insert fuel hose for fuel pressure check until it touches the No.1 spool on fuel tube.
Use NISSAN genuine hose clamp (part number: 16439
N4710 or 16439 40U00).
When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.
Install hose clamp to the position within 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in).
Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent parts.
5. Connect fuel tube adapter (C) to fuel feed hose (1) in the same manner as instructed in Step 4.
6. After connecting fuel hose for fuel pressure check, pull the hose with a force of approximately 98 N (10 kg,
22 lb) to confirm fuel tube does not come off.
7. Reinstall the part removed at Step 3. NOTE:
Install the part to allow smooth engine starts.
8. Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
9. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
10. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge. CAUTION:
Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operating. Fuel pressure gauge may indicate
false readings.
During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.
HIGH FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Since the fuel pressure gauge kit cannot be connected, follow the method shown below to check high fuel
pressure.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Start engine.
2. Check “FUEL PRES SEN V” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.

SNOW MODE SWITCH
SNOW MODE SWITCH
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006256403
The snow mode switch signal is sent to the combinat
ion meter from the snow mode switch. The combination
meter then sends the signal to the ECM via the CAN communication line.
The snow mode is used for driving or starting the vehicle on snowy roads or slippery areas. If the snow mode
is activated, the vehicle speed will not accelerate as quickly as normal to avoid vehicle slip. In other words,
ECM controls rapid engine torque change by controlling t he electric throttle control actuator operating speed.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000006256404
1.CHECK SNOW MODE SWITCH FUNCTION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “SNOW MODE SW” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.

YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Go to EC-522, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006256405

PRECAUTIONS
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wi ll remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Drain Engine Coolant and Engine OilINFOID:0000000006289509
Drain engine coolant and engine oil when engine is cooled.
Precaution for Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000006289510
Before starting work, check no fire or sp ark producing items are in the work area.
Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Handling High Pressure Fuel SystemINFOID:0000000006289511
High pressure fuel system components are betw een high pressure fuel pump and fuel injector.
Always release fuel pressure and never start the engine when performing removal and installation.
When removing or installing parts without releasing fuel pressure, fuel may be splashed and, if fuel contacts
skin or eyes, it may cause inflammation.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000006289512
When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or unin-
structed operations.
Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equival ent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organi zed way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, star t with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000006289513
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000006289514
Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.
Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel pins,
check that dowel pins are installed in the original position.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THREE WAY CATALYST
Tighten mounting nuts in numerical order as shown in the figure.CAUTION:
All exhaust manifold nuts are tightened at twice.
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1, Heated Oxygen Sensor 2
CAUTION:
Before installing new sensors, clean exhaust system threads usin g oxygen sensor thread cleaner
(commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial ser-
vice tool).
Sensors are not reusable. Replace them with a ne w one after removal. When replacing them, handle
with care not to impact on them.
When installing the new air fu el ratio sensors 1 (1), set the
heated oxygen sensor wren ch [SST: KV10117100(J-44626)] (A)
in the hexagonal part to tighten the them.
Never over torque sensors. Doing so may cause da mage to the sensors, resulting in “MIL” coming
on.
