REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
ADJUSTING AND SELECTING WASHERS
Side Gear Back Clearance
Assemble the differential parts if they are disassembled. Refer to RFD-28, "Differential Assembly" .
1. Place the differential case straight up so that the side gear to be measured is upward.
2. Using feeler gauges, measure the clearance between the side gear back and differential case at three different points, while
rotating the side gear. Average the three readings to calculate
the clearance. (Measure the clearance of the other side as well.)
If the side gear back clearance is outside of the specification,
use a thicker or thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust.
Refer to RFD-32, "
Side Gear Thrust Washer" .
CAUTION:
Insert feeler gauges with the same thickness on both
sides to prevent side gear from tilting.
Each gear should rotate smoothly without excessive
resistance during differential motion.
Select a side gear thrust washer for right and left individ-
ually.
NOTE:
Side gear back clearance is clearance between side gear and differential case for adjusting side gear
backlash.
Side Bearing Preload Torque
A selection of side bearing adjusting washers is required for successful completion of this procedure.
1. Apply differential gear oil to the side bearings, and install the dif- ferential case assembly with the side bearing outer races into
the gear carrier.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing outer race when replacing side
bearing inner race (replace as a set).
PDIA0460E
Side gear back clearance: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in) or less.
If the side gear back clearance is greater than
specification:
Use a thicker side gear thrust washer.
If the side gear back clearance is less than
specification: Use a thinner side gear thrust washer.

NOTE:
If pulling force of the differential assembly at the drive gear bolt
is within specification, side bearing preload torque will also be
within specification. Refer to RFD-32, "
PRELOAD TORQUE" .
7. If the pulling force is outside the specification, use a thicker or thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-
33, "Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
CAUTION:

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS004X5
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER ”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for WorkEIS004X6
When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the compo-
nent with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.
Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.
Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
After re-installation is completed, be sure to check that each part works normally.
Follow the steps below to clean components.
–Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the
fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
–Oily foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%), and wipe
the fouled area.
Then dip a cloth into fresh water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the detergent off. Then rub
with a soft and dry cloth.
Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol, or gasoline.
For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from transfer control unit, take care not to damage pin ter-
minals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are
not any bends or breaks on transfer control unit pin termi-
nals.
Before replacing transfer control unit, perform transfer con-
trol unit input/output signal inspection and make sure
transfer control unit functions properly. Refer to TF-35,
"Transfer Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Val-
ues" .
Service NoticeEDS002H6
After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer fluid.
Check the fluid level or replace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matchmarks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.
Observe the specified torque when assembling.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer.

Transfer Motor Relay Operation
*: After 2.5 seconds have elapsed.
4WD shift switch, PNP switch, Neutral-4LO switch, vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor are
used in conjunction with the transfer motor.
WAIT DETECTION SWITCH
The wait detection switch operates when there is “circulating” torque produced in the propeller shaft
(L → H) or when there is a phase difference between 2-4 sleeve and clutch drum (H →L). After the release
of the “circulating ” torque, the wait detection switch helps provide the 4WD lock gear (clutch drum) shifts.
A difference may occur between the operation of the 4WD shift switch and actual drive mode. At this
point, the wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode.
The wait detection switch operates as follows.
–4WD lock gear (clutch drum) locked: ON
–4WD lock gear (clutch drum) released: OFF
The wait detection switch senses an actual drive mode and the 4WD shift indicator lamp indicates the
vehicle drive mode.
NEUTRAL-4LO SWITCH
The neutral-4LO switch detects that transfer gear is in neutral or 4LO (or shifting from neutral to 4LO) condi-
tion by L-H shift fork position.
AT P S W I T C H
ATP switch detects if transfer gear is in a neutral condition by L-H shift fork position.
NOTE:
Transfer gear may be in a neutral condition in 4H-4LO.
2-4WD SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE
The 2-4WD shift solenoid valve operates to apply oil pressure to the wet-multiplate clutch, depending on the
drive mode. The driving force is transmitted to the front wheels through the clutch so the vehicle is set in the
