Removal and InstallationEFS001CR
Be careful of the following.
CAUTION:
lBefore servicing, disconnect the battery terminals.
lTo remove the brake tube, use a flare nut wrench to prevent the flare nuts and brake tube from
being damaged. To install, use a brake tube torque wrench.
lDo not remove and install the actuator by holding the harness.
lAfter completing the work, bleed the brake piping of air. Refer toBR-10, "Brake Burnishing Proce-
dure".
lMake sure to connect the ground terminal securely.

THERMOSTAT AND WATER CONTROL VALVE
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
lPlace a string so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows the
thermostat.)
lThe valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and the falls from the thread.
lContinue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.
NOTE:
The full-open lift amount standard temperature for the water
control valve is the reference value.
lAfter checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values
INSTALLATION
lInstall in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the following.
Installation of Thermostat and Water Control Valve
lInstall the thermostat and water control valve with the whole cir-
cumference of each flange part fit securely inside the rubber
ring. (The example in the figure shows the thermostat.)
lInstall the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards. (The
position deviation may be within the range of±10°)
lInstall the water control valve with the up-mark facing up and the
frame center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may
be within the range of±10°)
Heater Pipe Installation
lFirst apply a neutral detergent to the O-ring, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the heater pipe into
the installation holes.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EBS00B0I
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WAR NIN G:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connectors.
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of Engine and A/TEBS00B0J
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator (MI) to warn the driver of
a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
lBe sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MI to light up.
lBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
lCertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer toPG-70, "
HAR-
NESS CONNECTOR".
lBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to the short circuit.
lBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to the malfunction of the fuel injection system, etc.
lBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionEBS00B0K
lAlways use a 12 volt battery as power source.
lDo not attempt to disconnect battery cables while engine is
running.
lBefore connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative
battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
lBefore removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.

lDo not disassemble ECM.
lIf a battery terminal is disconnected, the memory will return
to the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary slightly when the terminal is dis-
connected. However, this is not an indication of a problem.
Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.
lWhen connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown at right.
lWhen 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.
lSecurely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to ICs.
lKeep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control sys-
tem malfunctions due to receiving external noise, degraded
operation of ICs, etc.
lKeep engine control system parts and harness dry.
lBefore replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value” inspection and make sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer toEC-79
.
lHandle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
lDo not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
lDo not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of deter-
gent.
lDo not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
lEven a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous problems.
lDo not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
