Sentra (Exc. M.P.G.) & 310

  1. Visually check fuel shut-off system for proper installation of components and for proper routing of vacuum hoses and wires. Connect circuit tester to the function check connector.
  2. Disconnect fuel shut-off relay. Turn ignition switch "ON". Voltage should be present across Green/Red (Brown on 310) and Black wires with clutch pedal depressed or transmission in neutral. Reconnect fuel shut-off relay.
  3. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Disconnect anti-dieseling solenoid valve connector or vacuum switch connector. Engine should run rough or stall. If not, replace anti-dieseling solenoid valve.
  4. Raise front of vehicle high enough so that front wheels are allowed to turn freely. Support with safety stands and block rear wheels.
  5. Connect voltmeter across Brown and Black terminals at function test connector. With engine running, place transmission in top position. Raise vehicle speed to 50 MPH, then quickly release accelerator.
  6. If voltmeter reads 0 volts at speeds above 40 MPH (45 MPH on 310) and 12 volts below 40 MPH (45 on 310), fuel shut-off system is operating properly and test is complete. If readings are not correct, continue with individual component testing.
