HARNESS CONNECTOR (SLIDE-LOCKING TYPE)

A new style slide-locking type connector is used on certain systems and components, especially those
related to OBD.

The slide-locking type connectors help prevent incomplete locking and accidental looseness or discon-
nection.

The slide-locking type connectors are disconnected by pushing or pulling the slider. Refer to the illustra-
tion below.
CAUTION:

Do not pull the harness or wires when disconnecting the connector.

Be careful not to damage the connector support bracket when disconnecting the connector.

NOTE:
If a vibration is present at high speed, inspect the propeller shaft run out first.
1. Measure the run out of the propeller shaft tube at several points
by rotating the final drive companion flange with your hands.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EGS000U4
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 severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Steering SystemEGS000U5

Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becom-
ing contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.

Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere
with their operation.

Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent.

Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent to hydraulic parts.
Petroleum jelly may be applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.

Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during installation.
Perform functional tests whenever designated.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelEGS000U9
Check power steering fluid level with engine off, referring to the scale
on reservoir tank.
Use HOT range for fluid temperatures of 50° – 80 °C (122 ° – 176° F).
Use COLD range for fluid temperatures of 0 ° – 30° C (32 ° – 86 °F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Checking Fluid LeakageEGS000UA
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 ° – 80 °C (122 ° –
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-21, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a leak from the steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemEGS000UB
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.

Air bubbles in reservoir tank.

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 MIN level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully right and then fully left, hold for about three seconds. Then check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 several times at about three second intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibil-
ity that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check for air bubbles or cloudy fluid.
5. If air bubbles or cloudiness still exists, stop engine, perform steps 2 and 3 again until air bubbles or cloud- iness does not exist.
6. Stop engine, check fluid level.

STEERING COLUMN
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
CAUTION:

When installing the steering column, finger-tighten all of the lower bracket and joint retaining
bolts; then tighten them to specification. Do not apply undue stress to the steering column.

The lower nut on the upper joint may not be reused.
NOTE:
Align slit of the coupling joint with projection on dust cover. Insert the
joint until surface "A" contacts surface "B".

After installation, turn steering wheel to make sure it moves
smoothly. Make sure the number of turns are the same from the
straight-forward position to left and right locks. Make sure that
the steering wheel is in a neutral position when driving straight
ahead.

When installing steering column to steering member, install
mounting nut from front side of vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing steering column to vehicle, check tilt device operation range is within specification.

Check if steering wheel operation can turn to the end of the left
and right stops smoothly.
