Auto Active TestNKS003GG
DESCRIPTION
In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:

Rear window defogger

Front wipers

Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps

Front fog lamps

Headlamps (Hi, Lo)

A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)

Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side), and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent glass damage by wiper operation).
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-40, "
Check Door Switch" when the auto active test cannot be performed.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelNGS000BT

Stop engine before performing a fluid level check.

Ensure that fluid level is between the MAX range and MIN level.

Because fluid level differs within the HOT range and the COLD
range, check it carefully.
CAUTION:

Do not overfill the Max level.

Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Checking Fluid LeakageNGS000BU
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80 ° C (122 to
176 °F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con- nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a from steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNGS000BV
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.

Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank.

Generation of clicking noise in oil pump.

Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
NOTE:
When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from
oil pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times. CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the low-level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left, and keep for about three seconds. Then check whether a fluid leakage has occurred.
3. Repeat the 2nd procedure several times at about three seconds intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility
that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check generation of air bubbles and cloud in fluid. HOT : Fluid temperatures from 50 to 80
°C (122 to
176 °F)
COLD : Fluid temperatures from 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F)

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNGS000BW
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose
or not. Refer to PS-17, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINK-
AGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point
where tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer socket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Remove driver air bag module from steering wheel. Refer to SRS-38, "
DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .
3. Start engine at idle, make steering fluid reach to normal operat- ing temperature [50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)], then check steering
wheel turning torque with pre-load gauge (SST).
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER
STEERING OIL PUMP" .
End play of the axle direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)
SGIA0546E
Steering wheel play on the outer circumference : 0
− 35 mm (0 − 1.38 in)
Turning torque : 7.45 N·m (0.76 kg-m, 66 in-lb) or less

7. Remove oil pipings (high pressure side and low pressure side) from steering gear assembly, then drain fluid from pipings.
8. Remove mounting bolt of steering hydraulic piping bracket from steering gear assembly.
9. Remove mounting bolt (lower side) of lower joint.
10. Remove mounting bolts of steering gear assembly with power tool, and then remove steering gear assembly from vehicle.
INSTALLATION

Refer to PS-17, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

CAUTION:

Secure steering gear assembly with a vise, using copper
plates or something similar to prevent it from being dam-
aged. Do not grip cylinder with a vise.

Before performing disassembly, clean steering gear assem-
bly with kerosene. Be careful not to bring any kerosene into
contact with the discharge and return port connectors.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove cylinder tubes from gear housing assembly.
2. Remove rear cover cap from gear housing assembly.
3. Measure adjusting screw height from gear housing assembly, then loosen adjusting screw.
CAUTION:

Do not turn adjusting screw more than twice.

Replace steering gear assembly when adjusting screw is
removed or more than twice.
4. Use a rear cover wrench (SST) to remove rear cover from sub- gear assembly.
5. Remove O-ring with a flat-bladed screwdriver, and pull out rear cover.
6. Remove sub-gear assembly from gear housing assembly. CAUTION:
In order to protect oil seal from any damage, pull sub-gear
assembly out straightly.
7. Loosen lock nut of outer socket, and remove outer socket.
