Inspection After Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check engine oil, engine coolant and other fluids levels, if less then the required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to Cummins (5.0L V8D) Engine: Fluids and Lubricants
Disconnect the ECM to prevent engine from starting.
Remove the oil pressure sensor (1) from the cylinder block on the front left side of the engine. Refer to Removal and Installation .

Tool number

: - (J-54412)
Connect suitable tool (3) and crank the engine until the suitable tool indicates a positive oil pressure.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible engine damage:
- Fill the oil pump with oil.
- Prime the lubricating oil system after engine repair or rebuild service activities.
- Confirm oil pressure within 15 seconds of start up, shut down engine immediately if no oil pressure is produced after 15 seconds.
After positive oil pressure is observed, connect the ECM.
Remove the Tool assembly from the port and install the oil pressure sensor (1). Refer to Removal and Installation .

Prime the fuel system. Refer to Priming .
NOTE: During priming, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
Operate the engine at low idle for 2 to 3 minutes and shut the engine off.
NOTE: Wait 5 to 7 minutes for engine oil to drain back to oil pan.
Check the engine oil level. Refer to Inspection .
Check the engine coolant level. Refer to System Inspection .
Operate the engine at 1000 to 1200 RPM for 8 to 10 minutes.
NOTE:
- Check for proper operation, unusual noises and coolant/fuel/exhaust/charge air/engine oil leaks.
- If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
Allow engine to cool and re-check engine oil and engine coolant.

Using CONSULT, read and clear any fault codes.

NOTE: For any active fault codes. Refer to DTC Index .
