General PrecautionsEAS00148

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 flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to
properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous mate-
rials.
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.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.

Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a “detectable
line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)”. A “detectable line for
DTC” is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with
the on board diagnostic system.

A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a “non-detect-
able line for DTC”. A “non-detectable line for DTC” is a circuit in
which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board
diagnostic system.
Multiple Switch
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown below.

The switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.

Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown.
b. When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved
area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown so that the balance
weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication posi-
tion (angle).
CAUTION:

Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with
new ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.
c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below.

Service NoticeEDS0017L
1. Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the all-mode 4WD transfer. It is
important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
2. Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
3. Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the all-mode 4WD transfer.
4. Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
5. All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
6. Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the all-mode 4WD transfer is disassembled.
7. It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
8. The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
9. Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
10. Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, and to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
11. Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
12. After overhaul, refill the transfer with new ATF.
13. When the all-mode 4WD transfer drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old all-mode
4WD transfer fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF cooling system. Always follow the proper pro-
cedure. Refer to MA-24, "
Changing Transfer Fluid" .
