DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE
If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair.
If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped by doing one or all of the following:
1. Close a door.
2. Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3. Rev the engine.
4. Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle “twist”.
5. At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, drive position on A/T model).
6. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.

Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.

If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom.
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear: J-39565 and mechanics stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:

Removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.
Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fasteners
can be broken or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.

Tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be elimi-
nated only temporarily.

Feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing
the noise.

Placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect are causing the noise.

Looking for loose components and contact marks.
Refer to IP-6, "
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE

If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.

If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:
–Separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, if possible.
–Insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or ure-
thane tape. A NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through your authorized NISSAN
Parts Department.
CAUTION:
Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
The following materials are contained in the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can be
ordered separately as needed.
URETHANE PADS [1.5 mm (0.059 in) thick]
Insulates connectors, harness, etc.
76268-9E005: 100 x 135 mm (3.94 x 5.31 in)/76884-71L01: 60 x 85 mm (2.36 x 3.35 in)/76884-71L02: 15 x 25
mm (0.59 x 0.98 in)
INSULATOR (Foam blocks)
Insulates components from contact. Can be used to fill space behind a panel.

1. When there are no indications of “AUTO DRIVE POS.”, “BCM” or “IPDM E/R” on “SELECT SYSTEM” dis-
play of CONSULT-II, print the “SELECT SYSTEM”.
2. Print all the data of “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” for “ENGINE”, “A/T”, “AUTO DRIVE POS.”, “BCM”, “ABS”
and “IPDM E/R” displayed on CONSULT-II.
3. Print all the data of “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” for “ENGINE”, “A/T”, “AUTO DRIVE POS.”, “BCM”,
“ABS” and “IPDM E/R” displayed on CONSULT-II.
4. Attach the printed sheet of “SELECT SYSTEM”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and “CAN DIAG SUPPORT
MNTR” onto the check sheet. Refer to LAN-23, "
CHECK SHEET" .
5. Based on the indications of “SELECT SYSTEM” and the results of “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR”, put
marks “v” onto the items with “No indication”, “NG” or “UNKWN” in the check sheet table. Refer to LAN-23,
"CHECK SHEET" .
NOTE:

If “NG” is displayed on “INITIAL DIAG (Initial diagnosis)” as “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” for the diag-
nosed control unit, replace the control unit.

The “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” items, which are not in check sheet table, are not related to diag-
nostic procedure on service manual.
So it is not necessary to check the status of the “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” items not in check
sheet table.
6. Check CAN communication line of the navigation system. Refer to AV-131, "
CAN Communication Line
Check" .
7. Attach the CAN DIAG SUPPORT MONITOR check sheet onto the check sheet. Refer to LAN-23,
"CHECK SHEET" .
