When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM pin
terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge) volt-
age to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in dam-
age to ICs.
Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in) away
from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control system mal-
functions due to receiving external noise, degraded operation
of ICs, etc.
Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-990, "
Reference Value".
Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of detergent.
Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause serious
incidents.
Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform DTC
CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE or Component Function
Check. The DTC should not be displayed in the DTC Confirmation
Procedure if the repair is completed. The Component Function
Check should be a good result if the repair is completed.

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
With CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
With CONSULT-III
1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
 Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
 The fuel hose connection method used when taking fuel pressure check must not be used for other
purposes.
 Be careful not to scratch or put debris around connection area when servicing, so that the quick
connector maintains sealability with O-rings inside.
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical systems operating (i.e. lights, rear defogger, A/C,
etc.) Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings due to varying engine load and changes in
manifold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pres-
sure cannot be completely released because C11 models do not have fuel return system.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Prepare fuel hose for fuel pressure check B and fuel tube
adapter (KV10118400) D, then connect fuel pressure gauge A.
 : To quick connector
 : To fuel tube (engine side)
 C: Clamp
 Use suitable fuel hose for fuel pressure check (genuine NIS-
SAN fuel hose without quick connector).
 To avoid unnecessary force or tension to hose, use moder-
ately long fuel hose for fuel pressure check.
 Do not use the fuel hose for checking fuel pressure with dam-
age or cracks on it.
 Use Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
3. Remove fuel hose.
 Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.

4. Connect fuel hose for fuel pressure check (1) to fuel tube
(engine side) with clamp (2) as shown in the figure.
 No.2 spool (5)
 Wipe off oil or dirt from hose insertion part using cloth moist-
ened with gasoline.
 Apply proper amount of gasoline between top of the fuel tube
(3) and No.1 spool (4).
 Insert fuel hose for fuel pressure check until it touches the
No.1 spool on fuel tube.
 Use NISSAN genuine hose clamp (part number: 16439 N4710
or 16439 40U00).
 When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
 Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.
 Install hose clamp to the position within 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in).
 Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent parts.
5. Connect fuel tube adapter to quick connector.
 A: Fuel pressure gauge
 B: Fuel hose for fuel pressure check
6. After connecting fuel hose for fuel pressure check, pull the hose
with a force of approximately 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) to confirm fuel
tube does not come off.
7. Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
8. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
9. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operating.
Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings.
 During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.
10. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
11. Check the following.
 Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging
 Fuel filter for clogging
 Fuel pump
 Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.Tightening torque: 1 - 1.5 N·m (0.1 - 0.15 kg-m, 9 - 13 in-lb)
At idling:
Approximately 350 kPa (3.5 bar, 3.57 kg/cm

There are present DTCs and stored DTCs (which appeared in a certain context and have since disappeared
or which are still present but have not had trouble diagnosis performed on them in the current context).
The “present” or “stored” status of DTCs must be considered when activating the diagnostic tool after power is
supplied to the ECM (without activating the system components).
Deal with present DTCs according to the procedure specified in the corresponding DTC trouble diagnosis.
For stored DTCs, note the DTCs displayed and follow the instructions in the Notes section.
If the DTC is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the malfunction is present. Deal
with the DTC.
If the DTC is not confirmed, check: Electrical lines which correspond to the malfunction
 Connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.)
 Resistance of the malfunction component
 Condition of the wires (melted or cut insulation, wear)
Conformity Check
The conformity check is designed to check the states and data monitor items which do not display any DTCs
on the diagnostic tool when inconsistent. This phase therefore allows:
 Diagnoses malfunctions that do not have a DTC display, and which may correspond to a customer com-
plaint.
 Checks that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a DTC reappearing after repairs.
This section gives the trouble diagnosis procedures for states and parameters and the conditions for checking
them.
If a state is not operating normally or a data monitor value is outside permitted tolerance values, you should
consult the corresponding trouble diagnosis page.
Customer Complaints - Trouble Diagnosis
If the test with the CONSULT-III is OK, but the customer complaint still present, the malfunction should be
treated by customer complaints.
SAFETY ADVICE
 The safety instructions must be followed at all times when working on components, to avoid damage or
injury:
- make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load,
- use the appropriate tools,
- do not touch the xenon bulbs.
Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000001162513
DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction of
engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can make trou-
bleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a incident. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a cus-
tomer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the one on the next page in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
Some conditions may cause the MI to come on steady or blink and
DTC to be detected. Examples:
 Vehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.
 Fuel filler cap was left off or incorrectly screwed on, allowing fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere.A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is pro-
vided on the previous page in the form of a flow
chart.
