DTC P1554 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
DTC P1554 BATTERY CURRENT SENSORPFP:294G0
Component DescriptionNBS005M0
The power generation voltage variable control enables fuel con-
sumption to be decreased by reducing the engine load which is
caused by the power generation of the generator. The battery cur-
rent sensor (1) is installed to the battery cable at the negative termi-
nal. The sensor measures the charging/discharging current of the
battery. Based on the sensor signal, ECM judges whether or not the
power generation voltage variable control is performed. When per-
forming the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calcu-
lates the target power generation voltage based on the sensor
signal. And ECM sends the calculated value as the power genera-
tion command value to IPDM E/R. For the details of the power gen-
eration voltage variable control, refer to SC section.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal. The con-
nection causes the malfunction of the power generation voltage variable control, and then the battery
discharge may occur.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeNBS005M1
Specification data are reference values.
*: Before measuring the terminal voltage, confirm that the battery is fully charged. Refer to SC-5, "SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK" .
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS005M2
The MIL will not light up for this diagnosis.
NOTE:
If DTC P1554 is displayed with DTC P0643, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643. Refer to
EC-1193, "
DTC P0643 SENSOR POWER SUPPLY" .

FUEL PUMPPFP:17042
DescriptionNBS005Q1
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
startability. 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 ECM stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging,
thereby improving safety. The ECM does not directly drive 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.

22. Install joint sub-assembly to shaft using plastic hammer.
CAUTION:
Confirm that joint sub-assembly is correctly engaged while
rotating drive shaft.
23. Apply the balance of the specified amount of grease (NISSAN
genuine grease or equivalent) into the boot inside from large
diameter side of boot.
24. 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.
25. 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 screwdriver into inside of the boot from
the large diameter side of the boot and discharging the inside
air.
CAUTION:

If the boot mounting length is outside the standard, it may cause breakage in the boot.

Be careful not to touch the inside of the boot with a tip of a flat-bladed screwdriver.
26. Secure the large and small ends of the boot with new boot
bands using the boot band crimping tool [SST: KV40107300
( – )] as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Secure boot band so that dimension “M” meets the specification
as shown.
27. Secure joint sub-assembly and shaft, and then make sure that
they are in the correct position when rotating boot. Install them
with new boot band when boot installation positions become
incorrect.
28. Insert drive shaft to wheel hub and bearing assembly, and then
temporarily tighten hub lock nut.
29. Install transverse link to steering knuckle. Refer to FAX-5,
"COMPONENT" .
30. Install steering outer socket to steering knuckle. Refer to FA X - 5 , "
COMPONENT" .
31. Install disc rotor. Refer to FAX-5, "
Removal and Installation" .
32. Install torque member fixing bolts to steering knuckle. Refer to BR-22, "
FRONT DISC BRAKE" .
33. Install brake hose bracket to steering knuckle. Refer to BR-11, "
BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE" . Grease amount : 77 – 97 g (2.71 – 3.42 oz)

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking A/T FluidNLS00080
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 fluid 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).

NOTE:
A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checking data with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Refer to AT- 9 2 , "
CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE" .
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check 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, 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 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 A/T fluid 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-14,
"RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE engine), CO-43, "RADIATOR"
(for VK45DE engine) and AT- 1 4 , "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.

Changing A/T FluidNLS00081
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill
same volume with drained ATF.

To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old
ATF from the radiator cooler hose return side.

When the color of the ATF coming out is about the 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 ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, 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 AT- 1 3 , "
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.
Checking Transfer FluidNLS00082
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
