On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNES000J6
Make  sure  the  mounting  conditions  (looseness,  back  lash)  of  each  component  and  component  conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY INSPECTION
Measure axial end play by placing and moving up/down with an iron pry bar or something similar between sus-
pension arm and axle.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace if malfunction is detected. 
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000J7
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. 
NOTE:
“Unladen  conditions”  means  that  fuel,  engine  coolant,  and  lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-6, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Ball  joint  axial  end  play  of  suspension  arm.  Refer  to RSU-5,  "
SUSPENSION  ARM  BALL  JOINT  AXIAL
END PLAY INSPECTION" .
5. Shock absorber operation.
6. Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Each of front lower link, rear lower link, radius rod, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock
absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check  with  the  manufacturer  of  your  specific  equipment  for  their  recommended  Service/Calibration

Occupant Classification System (OCS) NHS0008W
The occupant classification system identifies different size occupants, out of position occupants, and detects if
child seat is present in the front passenger seat. The occupant classification system receives inputs from the
occupant classification sensor (located inside the passenger seat cushion assembly) and belt tension sensor
(part of the passenger front seat belt assembly and located at the belt anchor location). Depending on classifi-
cation of passenger, the occupant classification system sends a signal to the diagnosis sensor unit. The diag-
nosis sensor unit uses this signal to determine full, partial, or non deployment of passenger front air bag in the
event  of  a  collision.  Depending  on  the  signal  received,  the  diagnosis sensor unit can disable the passenger
front air bag completely.
NOTE:
In case of customer concern, CONSULT-ll can be used to confirm the passenger air bag status (readiness).

Check each connector connection condition.
Check the following items while driving the vehicle
Check conditions when the malfunction occurred (5W 1H).
Is the engine condition normal?
Basic InspectionNGS000E2
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY
Check battery terminals for looseness on both positive and negative ones and ground connection. Also make
sure that battery voltage does not drop.
Inspection: Power Steering Control Unit Power Supply Circuit and GroundNGS000E3
1. CHECK POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR
Turn  ignition  switch  OFF,  disconnect  power  steering  control  unit  harness  connector,  and  check  terminal  for
deformation, disconnection, looseness, etc.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Connector terminal connection is loose, damaged, open, or shorted. Repair or replace the termi-
nal.
2. CHECK POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT GROUND CIRCUIT
Disconnect  power  steering  control  unit  harness  connector  M8,  and
then  check  continuity  between  power  steering  control  unit  harness
connector M8 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Ground  circuit  open  or  shorted.  Repair  or  replace  any
inoperative parts. Terminal 2 – Ground : Continuity exist.
