General Information

19


General Information

• The General Information section is the key to understanding how to efficiently use the Service Manual.

• Mandatory reading includes: • How to use the manual• How to follow

troubleshooting• How to read wiring

diagrams• Abbreviations• Identification information 20


GI – How to use the manual

• Each service manual shows very specific information.

• Information provided here could prevent damaging the vehicle and prevent personal injury.

• This section explains the units of measurement and torque settings

• Descriptions of the terms used for the printed page

21


22


Understanding the information included in illustrations will help in the repair process.This page highlights the use of numbers in the text to confirm the correct item is identified or the correct tightening sequence is followed.Large illustrations are based on parts catalogue drawings.


23


Large illustrations contain:• Layout of components• Lubrication information• Sealant information• Tightening torques Take careful note of the different icons for torque standards.


GI – Trouble Diagnosis

24

• This page provides information on following the diagnostic steps provided in the service manual.

• Key items shown on this page include the following:

1. Read the work flow in each section

2. Verify your repair resolved the problem before returning the vehicle to the customer.

3. How to check circuit continuity

4. Reference circuit diagrams for quick pinpoint checks

5. Locate the wiring diagram and harness layout in the PG section for identifying harness connectors

6. Identify if the battery voltage is adequate for system operation and diagnosis


25

GI – Trouble Diagnosis

To make diagnosis easier, icons are used to represent actions, tools or vehicle operating conditions.Understanding these icons is essential for safe, effective diagnosis.

Description


27


Harness Connector Symbols:Understanding harness connector drawings is essential for trouble shooting electrical faults.There are four main points to remember:T/S means the connector is drawn from the terminal side.H/S = Harness side.Male terminal drawing has the guide filled in black.Female terminal drawing, the guide is not filled in.


28


Understanding harness connector drawings is essential for trouble shooting electrical faults.Study the example connectors to the right.Below is an explanation of the connector type code.


29


Harness Location:Understanding exactly where harnesses are located in the vehicle speeds up diagnosis and repair.

Each harness has a specific name which relates to the position it is in the vehicle.

Connector prefix code uses the first letter of the harness name. For example: “B59” indicates it is a Body harness connector.


30

• Wiring diagrams are drawn in a landscape format, but displayed in the portrait format.

• Use page rotation for easier viewing by selecting the rotation button on the Adobe Acrobat Tool Bar.

GI – Wiring Diagrams


• Rotating the graphic provides easier viewing of objects such as wiring diagrams.

• Note that it will only print in the original format.

31

GI – Wiring Diagrams


GI – Circuit Inspection

• The GI section includes helpful basic information on testing circuits.

• The first of these is “open circuit” inspection.

• The GI Circuit Inspection section explains that there are two different test methods:– Continuity Check and

Voltage Check

32



• The next test is the ground (earth) circuit inspection. When this is faulty it causes lots of problems.

• Technicians must understand how to inspect and repair this problem.

33



• The third test is the Voltage Drop inspection.

• Circuit resistance can be easily inspected under “live” conditions.

• This is a really effective test and Technicians must understand how to and where to use this test.

34


35

GI – Abbreviations

• The Abbreviations list is like a dictionary and useful for understanding the short codes used in the Service Manual.

• It is a very comprehensive list of standardized terms.

• Technicians should understand where it is located and make use of it.


36

GI – Vehicle IdentificationThe model variation code is used by Technicians for two main purposes:1.For ordering replacement new parts2.When inspecting the CAN circuit with CONSULT-III Plus.This code confirms the specification of the vehicle, from engine type to what market it was manufactured for.It is important to understand that the market code affects so many things, such as basic service and repair information.

Nissan New Zealand generally selects Australian market ( suffix M) but can also take UK (E) or Japanese (D) domestic market models.


37

GI – Vehicle IdentificationThe Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) code also has useful information for ordering replacement parts. The VIN includes information for one specific vehicle, the vehicle serial number.

The identification plate can be found in different places on the vehicle, depending on the model, market specification and the vehicle manufacturing plant.The GI section includes information on where the Identification Plate is mounted.


38

GI- Other important information

The GI section also includes useful information on the following topics:•Precautions

• Technicians must read this section as includes health and safety information related to working on the vehicle

•Lifting the vehicle (hoist or jack)• Technicians must read this section before working on

the vehicle as models vary in construction•Towing information

• This information is useful for emergency towing •Basic Inspection (Electrical incidents)

• Technicians must read this section before attempting to diagnose any intermittent electrical fault


39

GI- Other important information

The Service Manual includes an important summary page of what to do before and after removing the battery terminals. •Technicians should understand where it is located and always make use of it. •This information will vary vehicle model to model and individual market specification.
