Changing Engine OilBLS0005P
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer
to LU-19, "
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap and then remove drain plug.
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-145, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-14, "

Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (lmp qt)
CAUTION:

When filling engine oil, do not pull out oil level gauge.

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.

Always use oil level gauge to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
NOTE:
The same quantity both VQ23DE and VQ35DE
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level.
Changing Oil FilterBLS0005Q
REMOVAL
1. Remove splash guard (RH).
2. Using oil filter wrench [SST], remove oil filter.
CAUTION:

Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use Genuine Nissan
Oil Filter or equivalent.

Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil
may be hot.

When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.

Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belts.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to engine
and vehicle.
NOTE:
Figure is shown as an example VQ35DE.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to oil filter installation surface.

2. Apply engine oil to the oil seal contact surface of new oil filter.
3. Screw oil filter manually until it touches the installation surface,
then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to MA-30, "Changing Engine Oil" .
2. Start engine, and check there is no leaks of engine oil.
3. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to MA-30, "

or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Recommended fluid is DEXRONTM III type ATF or equiva-
lent.
Refer to MA-14, "

CANTS" .


Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.

Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsBLS00064
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.

Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

Checking Seat Belt, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and AdjustersBLS0008X
CAUTION:

After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improp-
erly operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal col-
lision where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.

If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.

If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.

Never oil tongue and buckle.

Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to SB-6, "
Inspection" in SB section.

Check anchors for loose mounting

Check belts for damage

Check retractor for smooth operation

Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionBKS0024N

IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine room. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R control circuit.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, hood switch signal reception, etc.

It controls operation of each electrical part via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
FAIL-SAFE CONTROL

When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Control system Transmit control unit Control part
Lamp control BCM

Headlamp (HI, LO)

Parking, license plate and tail lamps

Front fog lamp
Wiper control BCM Front wiper
Rear window defogger control BCM Rear window defogger
A/C compressor control ECM A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Cooling fan control ECM Cooling fan
Horn control BCM Horn
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp

With the ignition switch ON, low beam headlamp is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, low beam headlamp is OFF.
Parking, license plate and tail lamps

With the ignition switch ON, parking, license plate and tail lamps are ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, parking, license plate and tail lamps are OFF.
Cooling fan

With the ignition switch ON, cooling fan HI operates.

With the ignition switch OFF, cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned OFF, front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status it was
in just before fail−safe control was initiated.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger is OFF.
A/C compressor A/C compressor is OFF.
Front fog lamp Front fog lamp is OFF.

Auto Active TestBKS002EW
DESCRIPTION

In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to
the following systems:
–Rear window defogger
–Front wiper
–Parking, license plate and tail lamps
–Front fog lamp
–Headlamp (HI, LO)
–A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
–Cooling fan
–Oil pressure warning lamp
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side), and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent
glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press driver's door switch 10 times (close the other
doors). Then turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once. Oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Be sure to inspect door switch when the auto active test cannot be performed.
