WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
“A” (between three line notches) as shown.
NOTE:

Check the drive belt auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the drive belt auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to EM-13,

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
2006 QX56

Loosen the bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especially
avoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).

Place the drive plate with the signal plate surface fac-
ing other than downward.

Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.

If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
–Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-31, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-17, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-28, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-35, "Removal and Installation" .
–Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
31. Remove the alternator. Refer to SC-25, "
REMOVAL" .
32. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at the connection points.

Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.

Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Replacement EAS001FR
CONSULT-II contains a nickel metal hydride battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WARNING:
Replace the nickel metal hydride battery with Genuine CONSULT-II battery only. Use of another bat-
tery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard used battery conforming to the local regulations.
Checking EquipmentEAS001TP
When ordering the below equipment, contact your NISSAN distributor.
CAUTION:

Previous CONSULT-II “I” and “Y” DLC-I and DLC-II cables should NOT be used anymore because
their DDL connector pins can be damaged during cable swapping.

If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self- diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.

If CONSULT-II CONVERTER is not connected with CONSULT-II, the vehicle enters “FAIL SAFE
MODE” which will “LIGHT UP the HEAD LIGHT” and /or “COOLING FAN ROTATING” when CON-
SULT-II is started.
NOTE:

The CONSULT-II must be used in conjunction with a program card.
CONSULT-II does not require loading (Initialization) procedure.

Be sure the CONSULT-II is turned OFF before installing or removing a program card.
CONSULT-II Start ProcedureEAS001TQ
NOTE:
Turning ignition switch off when performing CAN diagnosis could cause CAN memory to be erased.
1. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector.

TOW TRUCK TOWING
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
4WD MODELS
INFINITI does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:

Never tow 4WD models with any of the wheels on the
ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage
to the transfer case and transmission.
To w i n g P o i n t
CAUTION:
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid
damaging the vehicle body, use proper towing equipment when
towing.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a stuck vehicle)EAS001FZ

Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle or the
towing hooks (if so equipped). Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.

Use the towing hook (if so equipped) only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never
tow the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.

The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Never pull the hook
at an angle.

Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle.

Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake,
or cooling systems.

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or
recovery.
WARNING:

Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.

Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
