FOREWORD
This manual contains maintenance and repair procedures for NISSAN
PICKUP, model D22 series.
In order to assure your safety and the efficient functioning of the vehicle,
this manual should be read thoroughly. It is especially important that the
PRECAUTIONS in the GI section be completely understood before starting
any repair task.
All information in this manual is based on the latest product information
at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes in speci-
®cations and methods at any time without notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of the
technician and the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a man-
ner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician and the
tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service procedures,
tools or parts which are not speci®cally recommended by NISSAN must
®rst completely satisfy himself that neither his safety nor the vehicle's
safety will be jeopardized by the service method selected.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness
and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo 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 dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS.
Precautions for Brake System
lUse brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4*1.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lTo clean master cylinder parts, disc brake caliper parts
or wheel cylinder parts, use clean brake fluid.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tubes.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
WARNING:
lClean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne materials.
*1: Refer to MA section (``Fluids and Lubricants'', ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').

Service Notice
lWhen removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
lHandle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to soil
or damage them.
lApply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
lWhen applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
lWhen replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust
prevention measures.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð Basic InspectionKA
EC-58

ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGIC
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, the engine coolant temperature
will rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.

For more information, refer to ``MAIN 12
CAUSES OF OVERHEATING'', EC-108.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant following the procedure in MA sec-
tion (``Changing Engine Coolant'', ``ENGINE MAINTENANCE''). Also, replace the engine oil.
lFill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute like pour-
ing coolant by kettle. Be sure to use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA section
(``Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio'', ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'').
lAfter refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping
from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by
turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape.
Then turn the cap all the way off.
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is
below the proper range, skip the following step and go to
``DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE'' on next page.
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If cus-
tomer filled the coolant, go to ``DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE''
on next page.

IDLE AND MAXIMUM SPEED ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
lDo not remove sealing wires unless absolutely neces-
sary.
lDisturbing full-load adjusting screw will change fuel flow
characteristics, resulting in an improperly adjusted
engine. Readjustment of fuel injection pump should be
done using a pump tester.
lIf maximum speed adjusting screw is turned in direction
that increases control lever angle, engine damage may
result.
Throttle control wire adjustment
1. Turn idle control knob fully counterclockwise.
2. Make sure that clearance between idle control lever pin and
fuel injection pump control lever is within the specified range.
Clearance:
1-2mm(0.04 - 0.08 in)
3. If not within the specified range, adjust with idle control wire
adjusting nut.
4. After adjusting clearance, tighten lock nut.
Idle adjustment
Refer to ``Checking Idle Speed'', ``ENGINE MAINTENANCE''
in MA section.
Maximum speed adjustment
Maximum speed adjusting screw is retained by sealing wire
and need not be adjusted under normal circumstances.
However, if it becomes necessary to adjust it, the following
procedure should be followed:
1. Start engine and warm it up until coolant temperature indica-
tor points to middle of gauge.
2. Connect tachometer's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
To obtain accurate reading of engine rpm, remove clamps
that secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.
