Checking Exhaust SystemEBS00M3X
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

Exhaust System
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled. The system will be hot just after the
engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.

REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.

Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.

If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.

Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration. Tool number

After connecting the fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
the quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that the connector and resin tube do not contact
any adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

Use only a Genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may come on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-32, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" .

For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery
(ORVR)” parts, refer to EC-39, "
ON BOARD REFUELING

Connect the quick connector as follows:
–Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
–Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection is secure by checking as follows:
–Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
–Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections forleaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)

When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.

Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.

After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.

Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.
