The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of
the technician and the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a
manner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician
and the tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service
procedures, tools or parts which are not specifically recommended
by NISSAN must first be completely satisfied that neither personal
safety nor the vehicle’s safety will be jeopardized by the service
method selected.

Description INFOID:0000000004205728
This volume explains “Removal, Disassembly, Installation, Inspection and Adjustment” and “Trouble Diag-
noses”.
Terms INFOID:0000000004205729
• The captions WARNING and CAUTION warn you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal injury
and/or damage to some part of the vehicle.
WARNING indicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed.
CAUTION indicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed.
BOLD TYPED STATEMENTS except WARNING and CAUTION give you helpful information.
Standard value: Tolerance at inspection and adjustment.
Limit value: The maximum or minimum limit value that should not be exceeded at inspection and adjust-
ment.
Units INFOID:0000000004205730
• The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit), and
alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system.
Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about the
standard tightening torque.

Standard
Contents INFOID:0000000004205731
• ALPHABETICAL INDEX is provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and page
you are searching for.
• A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g. ) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find the
first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab.
• THE CONTENTS are listed on the first page of each section.
• THE TITLE is indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system.
• THE PAGE NUMBER of each section consists of two or three letters which designate the particular section
and a number (e.g. “BR-5”).
• THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks of
work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations.
Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle
or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.

Relation between Illustrations and Descriptions INFOID:0000000004205732
The following sample explains the relationship between the part description in an illustration, the part name in
the text and the service procedures.
Components INFOID:0000000004205733
• THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS are exploded views (see the following) and contain tightening torques, lubri-
cation points, section number of the PARTS CATALOG (e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to
perform repairs.
The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the appro-
priate PARTS CATALOG.
Components shown in an illustration may be identified by a circled number. When this style of illustration is
used, the text description of the components will follow the illustration.

Terms INFOID:0000000004205729 • The captions WARNING and CAUTION warn you of steps that must be followed to prevent personal injury and/or damage to some part of the vehicle. WARNING indicates the possibility of personal injury if instructions are not followed. CAUTION indicates the possibility of component damage if instructions are not followed. BOLD TYPED STATEMENTS except WARNING and CAUTION give you helpful information. Standard value: Tolerance at inspection and adjustment. Limit value: The maximum or minimum limit value that should not be exceeded at inspection and adjust- ment. Units INFOID:0000000004205730 • The UNITS given in this manual are primarily expressed as the SI UNIT (International System of Unit), and alternatively expressed in the metric system and in the yard/pound system. Also with regard to tightening torque of bolts and nuts, there are descriptions both about range and about the standard tightening torque. “Example” Range Standard Contents INFOID:0000000004205731 • ALPHABETICAL INDEX is provided at the end of this manual so that you can rapidly find the item and page you are searching for. • A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g. ) is provided on the first page. You can quickly find the first page of each section by matching it to the section's black tab. • THE CONTENTS are listed on the first page of each section. • THE TITLE is indicated on the upper portion of each page and shows the part or system. • THE PAGE NUMBER of each section consists of two or three letters which designate the particular section and a number (e.g. “BR-5”). • THE SMALL ILLUSTRATIONS show the important steps such as inspection, use of special tools, knacks of work and hidden or tricky steps which are not shown in the previous large illustrations. Assembly, inspection and adjustment procedures for the complicated units such as the automatic transaxle or transmission, etc. are presented in a step-by-step format where necessary.

GI-4 < HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL > HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Relation between Illustrations and Descriptions INFOID:0000000004205732 The following sample explains the relationship between the part description in an illustration, the part name in the text and the service procedures. Components INFOID:0000000004205733 • THE LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS are exploded views (see the following) and contain tightening torques, lubri- cation points, section number of the PARTS CATALOG (e.g. SEC. 440) and other information necessary to perform repairs. The illustrations should be used in reference to service matters only. When ordering parts, refer to the appro- priate PARTS CATALOG. Components shown in an illustration may be identified by a circled number. When this style of illustration is used, the text description of the components will follow the illustration.

GI-6 < HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL > HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES Description INFOID:0000000004205734 NOTICE: Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following instructions before diagnosing. • Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the “Work Flow” in each section. • After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated. • Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Location for the Systems described in each section for identification/location of components and harness connectors. • When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF. • Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check. If you need to check circuit continuity between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-har- ness is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section and Harness Layout in PG section for identi- fication of harness connectors. • Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage. • After accomplishing the Diagnosis Procedures and Electrical Components Inspection, make sure that all harness connectors are reconnected as they were. How to Follow Test Groups in Trouble Diagnosis INFOID:0000000004205735 1. Test group number and test group title • Test group number and test group title are shown in the upper portion of each test group. 2. Work and diagnosis procedure • Start to diagnose a problem using procedures indicated in enclosed test groups. 3. Questions and results • Questions and required results are indicated in test group. 4. Action • Next action for each test group is indicated based on result of each question.
