L TERMINAL CIRCUIT (SHORT)

Description

INFOID:0000000006938938

The “L” terminal circuit controls the charge warning lamp. The charge warning lamp illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is set to ON or START. When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine running,
the charge warning lamp will go off. If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion is indicated.

Diagnosis Procedure

1.

CHECK “L” TERMINAL CIRCUIT (SHORT)

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect alternator connector.

3.

Turn ignition switch ON.

Does charge warning lamp illuminate?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Refer to

CHG-14, "Work Flow"

.

2.

CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY (SHORT CIRCUIT)

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

INFOID:0000000007229418

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 “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision that 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, never 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.

Liquid Gasket

INFOID:0000000006939257

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

• After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating sur-

face using the seal cutter [SST: KV10111100 (J-37228)] (A) and
remove old liquid gasket sealing.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

• Tap (B) the seal cutter [SST: KV10111100 (J-37228)] to insert it,

and then slide (C) it by tapping on the side as shown in the figure.

• In areas where seal cutter [SST: KV10111100 (J-37228)] is difficult

to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.

CAUTION:

If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

1.

Using a scraper (A), remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liq-
uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
• Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid

gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.

2.

Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

3.

Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (commercial ser-
vice tool).
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

4.

Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-

uid gasket to the groove.

• As for the bolt holes (B), normally apply liquid gasket inside

the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Check to read the text of service manual.

• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-

ing component.

• If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Never retighten after mounting bolts and nuts the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill

engine oil and engine coolant.

CAUTION:

If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000006939262

LEVEL

• Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN”

to “MAX” when the engine is cool.

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.

CAUTION:

Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or
equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or demineral-
ized). Refer to

MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

LEAKAGE

• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the

radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator cap
tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).

WARNING:

Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
radiator.

CAUTION:

Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator dam-
age.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

Draining

INFOID:0000000006939263

WARNING:

• To avoid being scalded, never change engine coolant when the engine is hot.
• Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a

quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn radiator cap all the way.

1.

Remove engine under cover.

2.

Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.

When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer
to

EM-75, "Setting"

.

3.

Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
