NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po- sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.

∙If the “Low Fuel Pressure: See Owner’s
Manual” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display with the
engine running, complete a full key
cycle (turn the vehicle off and wait
2 minutes) and restart the vehicle. If
the message is still displayed or the
Malfunction Indicator Light is illumi-
nated af ter a full key cycle , it is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for service.
∙ For additional information on the lo-
cation of the fuel filter (stage 2), refer
to the “Engine compartment check
locations” in this section.
WARNING
∙ The fuel system (fuel pump, high pres- sure fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors) con-
tain very high pressure fuel. To avoid
the risk of personal injury or fire;
– Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running.
– Wait at least 10 minutes af ter shut- ting down the engine before loos-
ening any fittings in the high-
pressure fuel system to allow
pressure to decrease to a lower
level. – Wear appropriate eye protection
and protective equipment as high-
pressure fuel spray can penetrate
the skin.
– Never smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights, electri-
cal switches, or welding equip-
ment) in the work area. Never allow
diesel fuel to spill onto a hot ex-
haust manifold which can cause a
fire.
∙ Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the possibility of personal in-
jury, always ventilate the compart-
ment before servicing the batteries.
To reduce the possibility of arcing, re-
move the negative (-) battery cable
first and attach the negative (-) bat-
tery cable last.
∙ When using a steam cleaner, wear safety glasses or a face shield, as well
as protective clothing. Hot steam can
cause serious personal injury.
∙ Wear appropriate eye and face pro- tection when using compressed air.
Flying debris and dirt can cause per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION
Clean all around the filter area before
disassembly. Dirt or contaminants can
damage the fuel system.
REMOVAL
WARNING
∙ Depending on the circumstance, fuelis flammable. When inspecting or per-
forming service or repairs on the fuel
system, to reduce the possibility of
fire and resulting severe personal in-
jury, death, or property damage, never
smoke or allow sparks or flames (such
as pilot lights, electrical switches, or
welding equipment) in the work area.
∙ Do not bleed the fuel system of a hot engine; this can result in fuel spilling
onto a hot exhaust manifold, which
can cause a fire.
1. Push the ignition switch to the OFF po- sition and wait 2 minutes before dis-
connecting the battery.
2. Disconnect the lef t and right side bat- teries.

DRAINING WATER
WARNING
To avoid the risk of personal injury or
fire, drain diesel fuel into an approved
container and safely dispose of in ac-
cordance with local environmental
regulations.
CAUTION
Continuing vehicle operation without
properly draining could cause serious
damage to the engine.1. Shut the engine off.
2. Place a large drain pan under the drain
valve
A.
3. Turn the drain valve counterclockwise
1/4 turn to open.
4. Drain the filter sump until clear fuel is visible. If draining the stage 1 fuel filter
housing, drain until fuel reduces to a
trickle.
5. Turn the drain valve clockwise1/4 turn
to close.
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines,
and fuel rail contain very high-pressure
fuel. To reduce the possibility of per-
sonal injury, never loosen any fittings
while the engine is running. NOTE:
∙ It is not necessary to vent air from the
high-pressure fuel system before
starting the engine.
∙ Upon ignition on the electric lif t pump
will run until the fuel system is primed
or 90 seconds, whichever comes first.
Af ter a filter change or running the fuel tank
dry, complete the following: 1. Key ON vehicle for 90 seconds to prime the fuel system. Af ter 90 seconds, crank
the engine for a maximum of 30 sec-
onds or until the engine fires. If it does
not fire, verif y the following.
– Confirm fuel level is not empty.
– Water in fuel drain valve is closed.
– Stage 1 filter housing shell is fully seated on module and stage 2 cap is
properly seated on module.
– Stage 1 shell O-ring and stage 2 cap O-ring are properly installed and not
damaged.
