INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure that accelerator pedal moves smoothly within the whole operation range. Make sure that accelerator pedal returns securely to its original position. For electrical inspection of accelerator pedal assembly, refer to EC-697, DTC P2138 APP SENSOR. CAUTION: Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning when removing the accelerator pedal position sensor harness connector. Refer to EC-73, BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE.

WARNING: When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following: Put a CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE sign in the workshop. Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area. Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish the workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher. CAUTION: Before removing fuel line parts, perform the following procedures: a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in safe area. b) Release fuel pressure from the fuel line. Refer to MA-17, Changing Fuel Filter. c) Disconnect battery ground cable. Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones. Do not kink or twist hoses and tubes when they are installed. Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses. After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure that quick connectors are secure. Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any adjacent parts. For inspection of ORVR system parts, refer to EC-44, ON Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR). After installation, make sure there is no fuel leaks at connections in the following steps. a) Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at connections. b) Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may come on. For servicing Evaporative Emission System parts, refer to EC-38, Evaporative Emission System.

CAUTION: The quick connector can be removed when the tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary. Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector. 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. Do not bend or twist resin tube during connection and disconnection. Only when the quick connector is replaced, remove the remaining retainer on the fuel level sensor unit. (Feed tube) When the fuel level sensor unit is replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one [Yellow colored retainer]. (Feed tube)

CAUTION: Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape. Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot just after engine stops. Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge. Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling. If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on heat insulator, remove them. Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid gas leakage. Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehicle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque. With engine running, check all tube connections for exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises. Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise or vibration. Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one. Before installing new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 of J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant. Do not overtorque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the MIL coming on.
