SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsADS000N3
CAUTION:

Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand symptoms well. Perform correct and system-
atic operations.

Check for the correct installation status prior removal or disassembly. When mating marks are
required, be sure they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.

Carry out an overhaul in a clean work place, Using a dust proof room is recommended.

Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the
exterior the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and abnormal wear. If a
malfunction is detected, replace it with a new one.

Normally replace lock pins, oil seals, and bearings with new ones every times they are removed.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.

Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surface.

When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any mois-
ture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.

Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent entering of lint.

During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and new differential oil, Vaseline, or
multi-purpose grease, as specified for each vehicle, when necessary.

Checking Fuel LinesABS005YX
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsABS005YY
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:

Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-51, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-700, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).
–Disconnect negative battery terminal.

Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.

After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at
connections.
–Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.

Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come
on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-643, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VQ35DE) or
EC-1320, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VK45DE).

For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-650, "
ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR
RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VQ35DE) or EC-1327, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VK45DE).

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENTPFP:00000
How to Check Terminal AAS000E4
CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed below when replacing connectors or terminals.
The connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI connectors
and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to the latest NISSAN/
INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the connector during
circuit checks.
The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the connector cavity. To correctly probe the con-
nector, follow the procedures below using a “T” pin. For the best contact grasp the “T” pin using an alligator
clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed
from harness side with “T” pin.

If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector,
remove the rear cover before probing the terminal.

Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage
to the seal between wire and connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL

There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each
terminal with the “T” pin through the notch.
Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal
into female terminal.
