Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectABS00B3I
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantABS005ZK
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingABS005ZL

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyABS005ZM

When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be
used where noted in the step.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementABS005ZN
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationABS005ZO

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

6. After installing rear timing chain case, check surface height dif-
ference between following parts on oil pan mounting surface.

If not within standard, repeat above installation procedure.
7. Position crankshaft so No. 1 piston is set at TDC on the com-
pression stroke.

Make sure that dowel pin hole, dowel pin and crankshaft key
are located as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at position as shown in the
figure, for the placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted
camshaft is placed for the same direction of the figure.
CAUTION:
Hole on small dia. side must be used for intake side dowel pin hole. Do not misidentify (ignore
big dia. side).
8. Install timing chains (secondary) and camshaft sprockets.
CAUTION:
Matching marks between timing chain and sprockets slip
easily. Confirm all matching mark positions repeatedly dur-
ing the installation process.
a. Push plunger of secondary chain tensioner and keep it pressed
in with a stopper pin.Standard (Rear timing chain case to cylinder block):
–0.24 to 0.14 mm (–0.0094 to 0.0055 in)

1. Make sure that crankshaft key and dowel pin of each camshaft
are located as shown in the figure. (No. 1 cylinder at compres-
sion TDC)
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at the position as shown in the
figure, for the placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted
camshaft is placed for the same direction of the figure.
2. Install camshaft sprockets.

Install onto correct side by checking with identification mark
on surface.

Install camshaft sprocket (EXH) by selectively using the
groove of dowel pin according to the bank. (Common part
used for both banks.)

Lock the hexagonal part of camshaft in the same procedure
as for removal, and tighten mounting bolts.
3. Install crankshaft sprockets for both banks.

Install each crankshaft sprocket so that its flange side (the
larger diameter side without teeth) faces in the direction
shown in the figure.
NOTE:
The same parts are used but facing directions are different.Camshaft dowel pin

General PrecautionsAAS000EY

Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
