OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 16.
16.CHECK TIMING CHAIN INSTALLATION
Check timing chain installation. Refer to EM-47, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 17.
NG >> 1. Repair the timing chain installation.
2. GO TO 4.
17.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
●Check camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and circuit. Refer to EC-561 .
●Check crankshaft position sensor (POS) and circuit. Refer to EC-554 .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 18.
NG >> 1. Repair or replace.
2. GO TO 4.
18.CHECK ECM FUNCTION
1. Substitute another known-good ECM to check ECM function. (ECM may be the cause of a incident, but
this is the rarely the case.)
2. Perform initialization of NATS system and registration of NATS ignition key IDs. Refer to EC-431, "
NATS
(Nissan Anti-theft System)" .
>> GO TO 4. M/T: 8 ± 5° BTDC
A/T: 10 ± 5° BTDC (in “P” or “N” position)

6. CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (POS)
Refer to EC-559, "
Component Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 7.
NG >> Replace crankshaft position sensor (POS).
7. CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (PHASE)
Refer to EC-566, "
Component Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 8.
NG >> Replace camshaft position sensor (PHASE).
8. CHECK CAMSHAFT (INTAKE)
Check the following.
●Accumulation of debris to the signal plate of camshaft rear end
●Chipping signal plate of camshaft rear end
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 9.
NG >> Remove debris and clean the signal plate of camshaft
rear end or replace camshaft.
9. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to EC-485, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT" .

Component InspectionEBS00KLP
INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
1. Disconnect intake valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
2. Check resistance between intake valve timing control solenoid
valve terminals 1 and 2.

2. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel injection pump.
3. Disconnect the harness connector from the fuel injection
pump.
Disconnect the connector by pulling the connector stopper
fully.
When the stopper is fully pulled, the connector will be discon-
nected together. For installation, push the connector half way
first, then press the stopper until it locks, so that the connec-
tor is connected together.
4. Remove the fuel injection pump rear bracket.
JEF352Y
5. Remove the front chain case.
Move the power steering fluid reservoir tank from the bracket.
Loosen and remove the mounting bolts in the reverse order of
the numbers shown in the figure.
As for bolts 6, 10, and 11, remove with rubber washer because
there is not enough space for removing only the bolts.
CAUTION:
To prevent foreign objects from getting in the engine, cover
the opening during the removal of the front chain case.
JEF353Y
6. Adjust the No. 1 cylinder to the top dead center position.
Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, then align the alignment
mark (punched mark) of the camshaft sprocket to the position
shown in the figure.
There is no indicator on the crankshaft pulley.
It is not necessary to mark the secondary timing chain for
removal because it can be matched by the link color for instal-
lation. However, the alignment mark on the fuel injection pump
sprocket is difficult to see; mark it if necessary.
JEF354Y
7. Remove the chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of the chain tensioner, then fix it with a tool
such as a push pin.
JEF355Y
b. Using the hexagon wrench (face to face: 5 mm) (SST), remove
the mounting bolts, then remove the chain tensioner.
A multi-purpose tool may also be used.

8. Remove the timing chain slack guide.
Using the hexagon wrench (face to face: 6 mm, short-type)
(SST), remove the mounting bolts, then remove the timing
chain slack guide.
JEF357Y
9. Remove the timing chain tension guide.
10. Remove the secondary timing chain.
Only the timing chain can be removed without removing the
sprockets.
JEF358Y
11. Fix the fuel injection pump sprocket.
a. Insert the positioning stopper pin (SST) in the 6 mm (0.24 in)
dia. hole of the fuel injection pump sprocket.
b. Using the torx wrench (SST), turn the pump shaft gradually to
adjust the hole position of the fuel injection pump sprocket.
c. Insert the positioning stopper pin through the fuel injection
pump body to fix the sprocket.
JEF359Y
Insert the positioning stopper pin until its flange contacts the
fuel injection pump sprocket.
d. Remove the torx wrench (SST).

7. Using the hexagon wrench (face to face: 6 mm, long-type)
(SST), tighten the sprocket mounting bolt.
When the washer of the fuel injection pump sprocket is
removed, install it with the marking “F” (front) facing the front
of the engine.
8. Pull out the positioning stopper pin (SST).
JEF368Y
9. Install the secondary timing chain.
Align the alignment marks of the sprockets and those of the
chain, then install it.
The figure shows the installation state and names of the sec-
ondary timing chain and other related parts.
10. Install timing chain tension guide.
The upper installation bolt is longer than the lower.

11. Using a hexagon wrench (face to face: 6 mm, short-type)
(SST), install the timing chain slack guide.

12. Install the chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of the chain tensioner, then hold it with a tool
such as a push pin, and install it.
b. Using a hexagon wrench (face to face: 5 mm) (SST), tighten
the mounting bolts.
Installation is possible by a multi-purpose tool also.
c. Pull out the tool such as a push pin which holds the plunger.
Make sure that the alignment marks of the sprockets and
timing chain are aligned.
