Harness Indication

Letter designations next to test meter probe indicate harness
(connector) wire color.

Connector numbers in a single circle M33 indicate harness con-
nectors.
Component Indication
Connector numbers in a double circle F211 indicate component connectors.
Switch Positions
Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the “normal” condition.
A vehicle is in the “normal” condition when:

ignition switch is “OFF”,

doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,

pedals are not depressed, and

parking brake is released.
Detectable Lines and Non-Detectable Lines
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.

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.

For details, refer to the regulations in your area.
NOTE:
If vehicle front body has been repaired and /or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check headlamp
aiming.
HEADLAMP AIMING
NOTE:

Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:
–Confirm headlamp aiming switch is set to "0" (zero) position.
–Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
–Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
–Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
–Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
–Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
–Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Aiming AdjustmentEKS00B9M
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjustment
screw.
NOTE:
Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Turn screw
clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog lamp lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 200 mm (7.9 in) below the height of
the fog lamp centers as shown.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.

2. Measure the inner diameter of oil pump body to brazed portion
(position 6) using suitable tool.
3. Calculate the clearance using the following formula.

(Clearance) = (Inner diameter of oil pump body) - (Outer diameter of inner rotor)
Regulator Valve Clearance
Check regulator valve to oil pump cover clearance using the following formula.

(Clearance) = D1 (Valve hole diameter) - D2 (Outer Diameter of
valve)
CAUTION:

Coat regulator valve with engine oil.

Check that it falls smoothly into the regulator valve hole by
its own weight.
ASSEMBLY
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Install the inner rotor and outer rotor with the punched marks on the
oil pump cover side.

Balancing WheelsELS001H4
REMOVAL
1. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the wheel. CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.
1. Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbal- ance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight withOil grade and viscosity : Refer to

a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the desig-
nated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel.
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.

RotationEES001Q1
NOTE:
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-7, "
PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE" .
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown. Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-38, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after every
wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat
tire.
