●CONSULT-II is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the
vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various
kinds of diagnostic tests.
●Refer to “CONSULT-II Software Operation Manual” for more information.

*1: Nissan Anti-Theft System
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Replacement EAS000GA
CONSULT-II contains a nickel metal hydride battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WARNING:
Replace the nickel metal hydride battery with Genuine CONSULT-II battery only. Use of another bat-
tery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
5. Disconnect fuel hose quick connector on engine side.
●Using tool of quick connector release (here in after “release”),
perform the following steps to disconnect quick connector.
a. Remove quick connector cap.
b. With the sleeve side of release facing quick connector, install
release onto fuel tube.
c. Insert release into quick connector until sleeve contacts and
goes no further. Hold the release on that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting the release hard will not disconnect quick connec-
tor. Hold release where it contacts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube.
CAUTION:
●Pull quick connector holding A position in illustration.
●Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
●Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
●Avoid fire and sparks.
●Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage
and entry of foreign materials.
6. Disconnect fuel hose quick connector at vehicle piping side, perform as follows.
a. Remove quick connector cap.
b. Hold the sides of the connector, push in tubs and pull out the
tube. (The figure is shown for reference only.)
●If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
●The quick connector can be disconnected when the
tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more
than necessary.
●Do not use any tools to disconnect the quick connec-
tor.
●Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the tube.
●Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte etc. from getting on the resin tube.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check timing chain for cracks or serious wear. If a malfunction is
detected, replace it.
Balancer Unit Mounting Bolt Outer Diameter.
●Measure outer diameters (d1, d2) at the two positions shown in
the figure.
●Measure d2 within the range A.
●If the value difference (d1 – d2) exceeds the limit (a dimension
difference is large), replace it with a new one.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
●The figure shows the relationship between the mating mark on
each timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with
the components installed.
●Because of parallel manufacture, there are two types of mark
(link colors) for timing chain.
1. Make suer that crankshaft key points straight up.

●If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
●If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (Valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
●If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
●If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace the cylinder
head gaskets.
8. Install spark plug, ignition coil and harness connectors.
