FELT CLOTHTAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
68370-4B000: 15 × 25 mm (0.59 × 0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in) wide tape roll
The following materials, not available through NISSAN Parts Department, can also be used to repair squeaks
and rattles.
UHMW(TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used in place of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle TroubleshootingBIS000Z0
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. Cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks to
repair the noise.

Operation Procedure (without VDC)
1. Stop the vehicle at the straight-ahead position under the unladen condition (seat 1 person on the driver's
seat).
2. Touch ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
3. Touch “WORK SUPPORT” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
4. Touch “ST ANG SEN ADJUSTMENT” on “SELECT WORK ITEM” screen.
5. Touch “START”.
CAUTION:
Never touch steering wheel while adjusting steering angle
sensor.
6. When “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” is displayed, touch “END”.
7. Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on “SELECT DIAG MODE”
screen.
8. Make sure that “NO DTC” is displayed.
When “ [B2520] ST ANGLE SEN CALIB” is displayed
If the steering is turned during the adjustment, perform the
adjustment again.
If any condition other than above exists, check the connection
conditions between steering angle sensor, AFS control unit,
CONSULT-II and harnesses, and then perform the adjustment
again. After the adjustment is completed, replace AFS control
unit if [B2520] is not erased from self-diagnostic results.
CAUTION:
If [U1000] CAN COMM CIRCUIT or [B2515] ST ANG SEN SIG is displayed, first refer to LT- 8 4 ,
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" of self-diagnostic results, and then perform the diagnosis.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF, and then turn ON again.
CAUTION:
Never skip this step.
10. Drive the vehicle to the straight-ahead position, and then stop it.
11. Select “ST ANG SEN SIG” on “SELECTION FROM MENU” screen of “DATA MONITOR” of CONSULT-II.
Make sure that “ST ANG SEN SIG” is within 0 ± 2.5°. If it is other than 0 ± 2.5°, perform steps 1 to 10
again.
