Filament Check
1. Attach probe circuit tester (in volt range) to middle portion of
each ®lament.
+When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of
the negative probe. Then press the foil against the wire
with your ®nger.
2. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along
®lament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
+If a ®lament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or 12
volts.

Filament Repair
REPAIR EQUIPMENT
1. Conductive silver composition (Dupont No. 4817 or equivalent)
2. Ruler 30 cm (11.8 in) long
3. Drawing pen
4. Heat gun
5. Alcohol
6. Cloth
REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
cloth dampened in alcohol.
2. Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
drawing pen.
Shake silver composition container before use.
3. Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive sil-
ver composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap
existing heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of
the break.
4. After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for con-
tinuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
composition is deposited.
Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.
5. Apply a constant stream of hot air directly to the repaired area
for approximately 20 minutes with a heat gun. A minimum dis-
tance of 3 cm (1.2 in) should be kept between repaired area
and hot air outlet. If a heat gun is not available, let the repaired
area dry for 24 hours.

and FM modes with accesso-
ries on (switch pops and motor
noise).1. Poor radio ground
2. Antenna
3. Accessory ground
4. Faulty accessory1. Check radio ground.
2. Check antenna.
3. Check accessory ground.
4. Replace accessory.
NOTE:
If the radio has anti-theft function, check the anti-theft function of the radio before circuit inspection.
(Radios which have anti-theft function are equipped with a code indicator. For details, refer to EL-173.)
Speaker inspection
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+The resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

Item Service procedure Description
Replacement of IMMU by old
partRadio needs to be reset to NEW state by autho-
rized representative of radio manufacturer.If a radio code has already been stored in
memory of the IMMU, the radio cannot be linked
to it. After switching on the radio, it will display
``SECURE'' after 1 minute.
No communication from
IMMU to radio1. If NATS is malfunctioning, check NATS sys-
tem.
2. After NATS is repaired, reset radio to NEW
state by authorized representative of radio
manufacture.After switching on the radio, the radio will display
``SECURE'' after 1 minute. Further use of radios
impossible until communication is established
again, or after radio is reset by authorized repre-
sentative of (radio) manufacturer.
NOTE: Authorized radio manufacturer representatives in Europe are listed in the technical bulletin
TB-EL 96-001 issued by Nissan Europe N.V.

3. Remove the changer for repair.
Testing magazines and discs
1. Con®rm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.
