On-Vehicle Inspection and Service INFOID:0000000004305863
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY 1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool bet ween transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
STRUT INSPECTION Check for oil leakage, damage and replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment Inspection INFOID:0000000004305864
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and r eplace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-6, " Inspection " .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-6, " On-Vehicle Inspection and Service " .
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-19, " Wheelarch Height (Unladen*) " .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed. • This type of alignment is re commended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be ca pable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated. • Your alignment machine should be regularly calib rated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-17, " Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*) " .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignm ent machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable align-
ment gauge.
• If it is out of the specificati on value, inspect and replace any dam-
aged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN INSPECTION Measure toe-in using following procedure. If it is out of the specification, inspect and replace any damaged or
worn rear suspension parts.
WARNING:
• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in fron t of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance (A) from rear side.
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn). If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.

Transmitter Wake Up Operation INFOID:0000000004307325
NOTE:
This procedure must be done after replacement of a low tire pressure warning transmitter or BCM.
New replacement transmitters are provided "asleep" and must first be "woken up" using Transmitter
Activation Tool J-45295 before ID registration can be performed.
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Push the transmitter activation tool against the tire near the front left transmitter. Press the button for
5 seconds. The hazard warning lamps flash per the diagram
below.
2. Repeat this procedure for each tire in the following order: FL, FR, RR, RL.
3. When the BCM finishes assigning each tire ID, the BCM flashes the hazard warning lamps and sends flashing indicator status by CAN according to the following time chart.
4. After completing wake up of all transmitters, make sure low tire pressure warning lamp goes out.

Self-Diagnosis (With CONSULT-III) INFOID:0000000004307329
DESCRIPTION
During driving, the tire pressure monitoring system receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter
installed in each wheel, and turns on the low tire pressure warning lamp when the tire pressure becomes low.
The control unit (BCM) for this system has pressure judgement and self-diagnosis functions.
FUNCTION
When the tire pressure monitoring syst em detects low inflation pressure or an internal malfunction, the low tire
pressure warning lamp in the combination meter comes on. The malfunction location is indicated by the low
tire pressure warning lamp flashing and the buzzer sounding.
