FUEL PUMP
FUEL PUMP
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001326444
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON to improve engine
start ability. If the ECM receives a engine speed signal
from the camshaft position sensor (PHASE), it knows
that the engine is rotating, and causes the pump to operate. If the engine speed signal is not received when
the ignition switch is ON, the engine stalls. The EC M stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging,
thereby improving safety. The ECM does not directly driv e the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump
relay, which in turn controls the fuel pump.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A turbine type design fuel pump is used in the fuel tank.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
14. Apply the specified amount of grease (NISSAN genuine grease
or equivalent) inside joint sub-assembly serration hole until
grease begins to ooze from ball groove and serration hole. After
applying grease, use a shop cloth to wipe off old grease that has
oozed out.
15. Wrap serration on shaft with tape to protect the boot from dam- age. Install new boot and boot bands to shaft.
16. Remove the tape wrapped around the serration on shaft.
17. Position circular clip on groove at the shaft edge. Align both counter axles of the shaft edge and joint sub-assembly. Then,
assemble shaft with circular clip onto joint sub-assembly.
NOTE:
Drive joint inserter (suitable tool) is recommended when install-
ing circular clip.
18. Install joint sub-assembly to shaft using plastic hammer. CAUTION:
Confirm that joint sub-assembly is correctly engaged while
rotating drive shaft.
19. Apply the balance of the spec ified amount of grease (NISSAN
genuine grease or equivalent) into the boot inside from large
diameter side of boot.
20. Install the boot securely into grooves (indicated by *marks) shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
If grease adheres to the boot mounting surface (with *mark)
on the shaft and joint sub- assembly, boot may come off.
Remove all grease from the surface.
21. To prevent from the deformation of the boot, adjust the boot installation length to the specified value shown below (L) by
inserting the flat-bladed screwdriv er into inside of the boot from
the large diameter side of the boot and discharging the inside
air.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Checking Exhaust SystemINFOID:0000000001328918
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 FluidINFOID:0000000001328919
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 flui d 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 A/T fluid
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).

A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temper ature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checki ng data with CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65 °C (149 °F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
 When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
 To check A/T fluid level, inser t the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the en d of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.  If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
 If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-13
(for
VQ35DE) or CO-40
(for VK45DE) and AT-13, "A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refillsame 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% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
 Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.
 Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J AT F 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-26, "
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.
