INFOID:0000000012431679
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR 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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section 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 which would result in air bag 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 SR section.
• 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 Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000012431680
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Draining Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000012431681
Drain engine coolant and engine oil when the engine is cooled.
Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000012431682
• Before starting work, check no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000012431683
• When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Alwa ys be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or unin-
structed operations.
• Use care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

< PRECAUTION >[HR16DE]
PRECAUTIONS
• 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.
• Cover openings of engine system with a tape or equival ent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organi zed way for easy troubleshooting and reassembly.
• When loosening nuts and bolts, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactl y as specified. Power tools may be used in the step.
Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000012431684
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000012431685
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
• Tighten nuts and bolts in order exactly as specified in the procedure. If a tightening order or procedure is not
specified, tighten nuts and bolts equally in several differ ent steps. Start with the nuts or bolts in the center
and then tighten diagonally starting with the inside and moving to the outside in a spiral pattern.
• 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 restrictions and blockages.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Before assembling, completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust, and oil the sliding surfaces.
• After refilling engine coolant, bleed the air from the cooling system.
• After repairing, start the engine and increase engine s peed to check for engine coolant leaks, fuel leaks,
engine oil leaks, and exhaust gas leaks.
Parts Requiring Angle TighteningINFOID:0000000012431686
• For the final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:
- Camshaft sprocket (INT) bolt
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (Note an angle wrench is required as bolt flange is provided with notches for angle tightening)
• Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
• The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000012431687
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and remove the liquid gasket using Tool (A).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
• In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap (1) the cutter where the liquid gasket is applied. Use a
plastic hammer to slide (2) the cutter by tapping on the side.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

1. Using suitable tool (A), remove old liquid gasket adhering to the
liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
• Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquidgasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the gasket application surface and the mating surface and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign
materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the suitable tool. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant, or equivalent. Refer to
GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply liquid gasket without gaps to the specified location accord- ing to the specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for liquid gasket application, apply liquid
gasket to the groove.
• As for bolt holes (B), normally apply liquid gasket inside the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Check to read the text of this manual.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat- ing component.
• If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in the procedures contained in this manual concerning liquid gas-
ket application, observe them.

1. Warm up engine to full operating temperature and then turn it off.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to
EC-137, "
Work Procedure".
3. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-48, "
Exploded View".
4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT).
5. Install compression gauge (B) with an adapter (A) into spark plug hole.
• Use an adapter with a diameter (a) smaller than 20 mm (0.79in). Otherwise, it may be caught by cylinder head during
removal.
6. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to »»» for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engi ne rpm. Perform these steps to check each cylin-
der.
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check the battery. Check the engine speed again with a
fully charged battery.
• If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole to recheck the compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn or damaged. Check the piston rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains low despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be malfunc-
tioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat as necessary.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains low even after the addition of engine oil the head gasket may be leaking, or valves in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
• If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ-
ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat , piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After repairing, measure the compression pressure again.
7. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
8. Start the engine, and ensure that the engine runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-120, "
Work Flow".
