Checking EVAP Vapor Lines

NHMA0015

Visually inspect EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment and
for cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deteriora-
tion.

Inspect fuel tank filler cap vacuum relief valve for clogging,
sticking, etc.

Refer to EC-37, “Evaporative Emission System”.

for

improper

attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.

Checking A/T Fluid

NHMA0020

Warm up engine.

Check for fluid leakage.

Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on A/T fluid
level gauge.

Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.

Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.

Check fluid level with engine idling.

Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free
paper.

Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into charging pipe as far as it
will go.

Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is
at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.

Do not overfill.
4.

Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.

Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122
to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T fluid level gauge.

CAUTION:

Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.

SMA853B

Check fluid condition.

If fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.

If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to LC-20, “Radia-
tor”.

Changing A/T Fluid

NHMA0021

Warm up A/T fluid.

Stop engine.

Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.

Fluid grade:

Genuine Nissan Matic D ATF (Continental U.S. and
Alaska) or Canada NISSAN Automatic Transmission

Drain plug:

: 29 - 39 N·m (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)

Run engine at idle speed for five minutes.

Check fluid level and condition. Refer to “Checking A/T Fluid”.
If fluid is still dirty, repeat step 2. through 5.

Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)

NHMA0022

REMOVAL

NHMA0022S01

Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal pro-
cedures.
2.

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape
from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean
traces of releasing agent from the road wheel.

WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

NHMA0022S02

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode
settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select and adjust a
drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.

Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a
guide. Start the tire balance machine.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the
wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbalance value by 5/3
to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the
outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated
value above and install it to the designated outer position of,
or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing
the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the road wheel.

Indicated unbalance value

5/3 = balance weight to be

installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz)

5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) bal-

ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calcu-
lated balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)

SMA055D

Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure at left.

When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in
the figure at left so that the balance weight center is aligned
with the wheel balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Always use genuine Nissan adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

SMA056D

If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz),
install two balance weight sheets in line with each other (as
shown in the figure at left).

CAUTION:

Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3.

Start wheel balancer again.

Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in
the wheel balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Do not install more than two balance weights.
5.

Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
unbalance values are 10 g (0.35 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 10 g (0.35 oz),
repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):
