8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
10. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm (0.52 -
0.66 in) between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal
portion as shown in the figure.
11. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and check whether spark is
generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal por-
tion.
CAUTION:
• Do not approach to the spar k plug and the ignition coil
within 50 cm (19.7 in). Be car eful not to get an electrical
shock while checking, becau se the electrical discharge
voltage becomes 20 kV or more.
• It might cause to damage the igni tion coil if the gap of more than 17 mm (0.66 in) is taken.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm (0.52 in), the sp ark might be generated even if the coil is mal-
functioning.

COMPONENT PARTS
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor
INFOID:0000000009462508
The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the c ondenser of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an
electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The voltage signal is sent
to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.
Stop Lamp Switch & Brake Pedal Position SwitchINFOID:0000000009462509
Stop lamp switch and brake pedal position switch are installed to brake pedal bracket.
ECM detects the state of the brake pedal by those two types of input (ON/OFF signal).
VIAS Control Solenoid Valve 1 and 2INFOID:0000000009462510
The VIAS control solenoid valve cuts the intake manifold vacuum signal for power valve control. It responds to
ON/OFF signals from the ECM. When the solenoid is OFF, the vacuum signal from the intake manifold is cut.
When the ECM sends an ON signal the coil pulls the plunger downward and sends the vacuum signal to the
power valve actuator.

CAUTION:
Apply new engine oil to parts marked in illustration before installation.
NOTE:
The following procedures explain how to disassem ble the engine with the engine stand fastened to the bell
housing. Some steps may be different if using a different type of engine stand.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the engine and transaxle as an assembly from the vehicle, and separate the transaxle from the
engine. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.
2. Remove the drive plate. Hold the crankshaft using Tool (A) and use a suitable tool to remove the bolts.
3. Remove pilot converter using Tool.
4. Remove the rear oil seal. Refer to EM-72, "Removal and Installation of Rear Oil Seal"
.
5. Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand (A). CAUTION:
• Use an engine stand that has a load capacity large
enough for supporting the engine weight [approximately
135 kg (298 lb) or more].
• Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support mating surface of transaxle with drive plate
removed.
• Remove the following parts if the engine stand load capacity is not adequate, to reduce the potential risk of overturning stand:
- Intake manifold. Refer to EM-30, "Removal and Installation"
.
- Exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-33, "Removal and Installation"
.
- Rocker cover. Refer to EM-45, "Removal and Installation"
.
6. Drain any remaining engine oil and coolant from the engine.
7. Remove the exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly. Refer to EM-33, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
8. Remove the intake manifold and fuel tube assembly. Refer to EM-30, "Removal and Installation"

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951582
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
General precautions fo r service operationsINFOID:0000000009463538
• Do not work with wet hands.
• The xenon headlamp system includes a high voltage generating
part. Be sure to disconnect batte ry negative cable (negative termi-
nal) or power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the
xenon headlamp (including lamp bulb).
• Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connecting the connector.
• When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated, do
not touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.
• When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehicle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.
• Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not touch the headl amp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because
it is very hot.
• Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket co rrectly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona dis-
charge may occur that can melt the bulb, connector or housing. Do not illuminate the xenon headlamp bulb
out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.
• When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.
• Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long period of time can deteriorate the perfor- mance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Al ways prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when replac-
ing the bulb.
• When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjus tment screw only in the tightening direction. If it
is necessary to loosen the screw, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in the tightening direction.
• Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.
