Control NISSAN PRIMERA 1999 Electronic Repair Manual

Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual
for NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
lWhen servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialisa-
tion and additional registration of other NATS ignition key
IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identifi-
cation. Therefore, be sure to obtain all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of four key IDs can be registered into NATS.
Precautions for Super Lock System
Locking the driver's door or front passenger's door with the key
or remote control will lock all doors and activate the Super Lock
System.
The Super Lock System is designed to prevent theft as it can
only be released when a front door is unlocked using a key or
remote control.
This means, none of the door locks can be operated from the
inside using the door lock knob when the Super Lock System is
activated.
General Precautions
lDo not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
flammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with
hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
lBefore jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other
tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with
safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting before
working on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
lWhen removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance
and drop them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent
parts, especially the brake tubes and master cylinder.

Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection
System or Engine Control Module
lBefore connecting or disconnecting any harness connector
for the multiport fuel injection system or ECM (Engine Con-
trol Module):
Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
lBefore disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
lBe careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Three Way Catalyst
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the
catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this,
follow the instructions below:
lUse unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the three way catalyst.
lWhen checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
lDo not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise
the engine may misfire causing damage to the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.
Precautions for Turbocharger
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean
supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all
required maintenance instructions and operating procedures.
lAlways use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
lAvoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after
starting.
lIf engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended
period of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting it
off.
Precautions for Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
lAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.

DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINES
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
lA line with regular weight (wider line) represents a ªdetect-
able line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)º. A ªdetectable
line for DTCº is a circuit in which ECM (Engine Control Mod-
ule) can detect its malfunctions with the on-board diagnostic
system.
lA line with less weight (thinner line) represents a ªnon-detect-
able line for DTCº. A ªnon-detectable line for DTCº is a cir-
cuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the
on-board diagnostic system.

Voltage check method
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid dis-
connected) powered through the fuse.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the B
+side of the fuse ter-
minal (one lead on the B
+terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).
3. With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
4. With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check
for voltage.
voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
5. With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage.
voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid
(point C).
no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
GROUND INSPECTION
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground
connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can
become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can
drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit.
Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
1. Remove the ground bolt screw or clip.
2. Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
3. Clean as required to assure good contact.
4. Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
5. Inspect for ªadd-onº accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
6. If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of
the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in
one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.

VOLTAGE DROP TESTS
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage
drop in a circuit is caused by a resistancewhen the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with ohmmeter, contact by a single strand of
wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates, this single
strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high resistance to the current.
This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.
Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
Undersized wiring (single strand example)
Corrosion on switch contacts
Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.
Measuring voltage drop Ð Accumulated method
1. Connect the voltmeter across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the voltmeter should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
2. Operate the circuit.
3. The voltmeter will indicate how many volts are being used to ªpushº current through that part of the cir-
cuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
Measuring voltage drop Ð Step by step
The step by step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such as those
in ªComputer Controlled Systemsº).
Circuits in the ªComputer Controlled Systemº operate on very low amperage.
The (Computer Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in
the system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation, improper
wire gauge or corrosion.
The step by step voltage drop test can identify a component or wire with too much resistance.

* : If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltage. ECM does not detect the
switch is ON even if the switch does turn ON. Therefore, the ECM does not supply power to light up the lamp.
* : If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 2 does not detect approx. 0V. ECM does not detect the switch
is ON even if the switch does turn ON. Therefore, the ECM does not control ground to light up the lamp.
