PRECAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

Description INFOID:0000000003771195

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not described in each individual section.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. 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 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 performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SR section.

• Do 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 and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.

INFOID:0000000005867503

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 Ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000005892330

NOTE:

• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM).

• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the ″LOCK″ position.

• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.

For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder. For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and steering wheel rotation will become impossible. If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:

Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

Revision: December 2009 2009 QX56

GI-24

Page 33

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >

2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the

steering lock will be released.

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)

6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Procedures without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000003771198

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

PIIB3706J

General Precautions INFOID:00 00000003771199

• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without

proper exhaust ventilation. Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials. Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

SGI285

• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire

blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehicle. These operations should be done on a level surface.

• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-

saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially the brake tubes and master cylinder.

SGI231

Revision: December 2009 2009 QX56

GI-25

Page 34

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >

• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of radio and each control unit is erased.

• To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts. Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

• Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.

• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.

• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.

• Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.

• Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

• Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

• Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM). Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

• After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

• Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

• Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.

• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.

SEF289H

SGI233

< PRECAUTION >

system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and TM sections.

Three Way Catalyst INFOID:000 0000003771200

If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this, follow the instructions.

• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.

• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the catalyst.

Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.

Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended) INFOID:0000000005892332

NISSAN/INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance.

CAUTION:

Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

CAUTION:

Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can cause damage to the fuel system components and is not covered by the INFINTI vehicle limited warranty.

Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control System INFOID:000 0000003771202

• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the multiport fuel injection system or ECM: Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position. Disconnect negative battery terminal. Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow sensor.

SGI787

Engine Oils INFOID:0000000003771204

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets.

• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.

• Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.

• First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.

• Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.

• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

• Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS

• Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the connector during circuit checks.

• The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures below using a “T” pin. For the best contact grasp the “T” pin using an alligator clip.

Description

WAIA0004E WAIA0005E

Probing from Harness Side

Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with “T” pin.

• If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing the terminal.

• Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and connector may result.

Probing from Terminal Side

FEMALE TERMINAL

• There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the “T” pin through the notch. Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

Waterproof Connector Inspection

If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems. Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.

RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION

• Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal

between the male and female connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.

• The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected.

Whenever connectors are reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION

• The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a

waterproof connector. Be sure that the seal is installed properly.

lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.

The section is broken into the six following topics:

• Vehicle vibration

• Heat sensitive

• Freezing

• Water intrusion

• Electrical load

• Cold or hot start up Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of the problem.

VEHICLE VIBRATION

The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustration.

Connector & Harness

Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.

Hint

Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.

Sensor & Relay

Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.

SGI839

Engine Compartment

There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of the things to check for are:

• Connectors not fully seated.

• Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.

• Wires laying across brackets or moving components.

• Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

• Wires routed too close to hot components. To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections. (Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded. Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.

Behind the Instrument Panel

An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.

Under Seating Areas

Revision: December 2009 2009 QX56

GI-39

Page 48

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT

< BASIC INSPECTION >

An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or pinching.

HEAT SENSITIVE

• The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car

has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.

• To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the

component with a heat gun or equivalent.

CAUTION:

Do not heat components above 60°C (140°).

• If incident occurs while heating the unit, either replace or properly

insulate the component.

SGI842

FREEZING

• The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car

warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.

• There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for

the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical components which could be affected.

• The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer

long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or replace the component.

SGI843

WATER INTRUSION

The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car or running it through a car wash.

CAUTION:

Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

ELECTRICAL LOAD

The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.

SGI844

SGI845

COLD OR HOT START UP

On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.

Circuit Inspection INFOID:0000000003771216

DESCRIPTION

• In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method. Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and follow the correct test procedure.

• You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.

OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit.

There are two types of shorts.

SHORT

• SHORT CIRCUIT

• SHORT TO GROUND When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the circuit.

When a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the normal resistance to change.

NOTE:

Refer to GI-35, "

How to Check Terminal" to probe or check terminal.

TESTING FOR “OPENS” IN THE CIRCUIT

Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.

SGI846-A

Continuity Check Method

The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol). Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level. To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.

• Disconnect the battery negative cable.

• Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this example)

• Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.

• Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)

• Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)

• Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)

Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.

Voltage Check Method

To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence of voltage. This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.

• Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.

• Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.

• With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than SW1.

• Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.

TESTING FOR “SHORTS” IN THE CIRCUIT

To simplify the discussion of shorts in the system, please refer to the following schematic.

SGI847-A

Resistance Check Method

• Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.

• Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through the fuse.

• Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a known good ground.

• With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.

• Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.

• Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Voltage Check Method

• Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through the fuse.

• Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).

• With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.

• With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.

• With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.

GROUND INSPECTION

• Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.

• Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.

Revision: December 2009 2009 QX56

GI-42

Page 51

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT

< BASIC INSPECTION >

• When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:

- Remove the ground bolt or screw.

- Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.

- Clean as required to assure good contact.

- Reinstall bolt or screw securely.

- Inspect for “add-on” accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.

- If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.

• For detailed ground distribution information, refer to “Ground Distribution” in PG section.

SGI853

VOLTAGE DROP TESTS

• Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.

• Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates, this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

• Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:

- Undersized wiring (single strand example)

- Corrosion on switch contacts

- Loose wire connections or splices.

• If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

Measuring Voltage Drop — Accumulated Method

• Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.

• Operate the circuit.

• The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to “push” current through that part of the circuit.

Revision: December 2009 2009 QX56

GI-43

Page 52

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT

< BASIC INSPECTION >

Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.

SGI974

Measuring Voltage Drop — Steb-by-Step

• The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such as those in “Computer Controlled Systems”).

• Circuits in the “Computer Controlled System” operate on very low amperage.

• The (Computer Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation, improper wire gauge or corrosion.

• The step by step voltage drop test can identify a component or wire with too much resistance.
