DLN-220
< UNIT DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY >[REAR FINAL DRIVE: R230]
DRIVE PINION
10. Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion
lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive
pinion, using flange wrench (c ommercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.
11. Adjust to the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion bearing preload torque, using preload gauge [SST: ST3127S000
(J-25765-A)].
CAUTION:
 Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
 If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighte n it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
 After adjustment, rotate dri ve pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual no ise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
12. Install differential case assembly. Refer to DLN-206, "
Assem-
bly".
CAUTION:
Never install rear cover at this timing.
13. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash, and companion flange runout. Refer to DLN-210, "
Adjustment" and DLN-220, "Adjustment".
Recheck above items. Readjust the above description, if necessary.
14. Check total preload torque. Refer to DLN-210, "
Adjustment".
15. Install rear cover. Refer to DLN-206, "
Assembly".
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222428
COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT
1. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of the companion flange
(socket diameter).
2. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
3. If the runout value is outside t he runout limit, follow the proce-
dure below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion by 90 ° step, and search for the position
where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, possible cause will be an
assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for
these items and repair if necessary.
c. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the check and repair, replace companion flange.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Drive Gear and Drive Pinion
 Clean up the disassembled parts.
 If the gear teeth never mesh or line-up correctly, det ermine the cause and adjust or replace as necessary.
Pinion bearing preload : Refer to
DLN-222, "
Pre-
load Torque".

When connecting ECM harness connector (A), fasten (B) it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown in the figure.
-ECM (1)
- Loosen (C)
 When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from ECM, never damage pin terminals (bends or break).
Check that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM pin ter-
minal, when connect ing pin connectors.
 Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge) volt-
age to develop in coil and cond enser, thus resulting in dam-
age to ICs.
 Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in) away
from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control system mal-
functions due to receiving externa l noise, degraded operation
of ICs, etc.
 Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
 Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and check that ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-72, "
Reference Value".
 Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
 Never clean mass air flow sensor with any type of detergent.
 Never disassemble electric th rottle control actuator.
 Even a slight leakage in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous incidents.
 Never shock or jar the camshaf t position sensor, crankshaft
position sensor.
 After performing each TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS, perform DTC
Confirmation Procedure or Component Function Check.
The DTC should not be displ ayed in the DTC Confirmation
Procedure if the repair is completed. The Component Func-
tion Check should be a good resu lt if the repair is completed.

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.

< DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS >[VK56VD]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
NOTE:
Check “A/F ALPHA-B1” and “A/F ALPHA-B2” for approxim
ately 1 minute because they may fluctuate. It is
NG if the indication is out of the SP value even a little.
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> GO TO 14.
NO-1 >> Less than the SP value: GO TO 2.
NO-2 >> More than the SP value: GO TO 3.
2.CHECK “B/FUEL SCHDL”
Select “B/FUEL SCHDL” in “SPEC” of “DATA MONITOR” mode, and check that the indication is within the SP
value.
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> More than the SP value: GO TO 16.
3.CHECK “B/FUEL SCHDL”
Select “B/FUEL SCHDL” in “SPEC” of “DATA MONITOR” mode, and check that the indication is within the SP
value.
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO-1 >> More than the SP value: GO TO 6.
NO-2 >> Less than the SP value: GO TO 22.
4.CHECK “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2”
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect PCV hose, and then plug it.
3. Start engine.
4. Select “A/F ALPHA-B1” and “A/F ALPHA-B2” in “ SPEC” of “DATA MONITOR” mode, and check that each
indication is within the SP value.
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> GO TO 6.
5.CHANGE ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Change engine oil. NOTE:
This symptom may occur when a large amount of gasoline is mixed with engine oil because of driving
conditions (such as when engine oil temperature does not rise enough since a journey distance is too
short during winter). The symptom will not be detec ted after changing engine oil or changing driving con-
ditions.
>> INSPECTION END
6.PERFORM POWER BALANCE TEST
1. Perform “POWER BALANCE” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode.
2. Check that each cylinder produces a momentary engine speed drop.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> GO TO 7.
7.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following below.
 Ignition coil and its circuit (Refer to EC-506, "
Component Function Check".)
 Fuel injector and its circuit (Refer to EC-498, "
Component Function Check".)
 Intake air leakage
 Low compression pressure (Refer to EM-16, "
Inspection".)
Is the inspection result normal?
