Checking Exhaust SystemALS000FG
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking A/T FluidALS00100
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem- peratures of 30 to 50 °C (86 to 122 °F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in P position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go. CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T
fluid charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
6. Make the A/T fluid temperature approximately 65 °C (149 °F).

Changing A/T FluidALS00101
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.

To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling, at the same time drain the old ATF
from the radiator cooler hose return side.

When the color of the ATF coming out is almost same as the
color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% of the stipu-
lated amount.
CAUTION:

Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.

Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and A/
T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.

When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.

Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-29, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat step
2. through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.

Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesALS000FV
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS"


Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.

Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsALS000FW
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.

Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.

Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.

Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.

Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.

Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks or other damage.

NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press drivers door switch 10 times (close other doors). Then turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed. NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Be sure to inspect BL-42, "
Check Door Switch" when the auto active test cannot be performed.
INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE

When auto active test mode is actuated, the following eight steps are repeated three times.
