Pinion/Clutch Check
1. Inspect pinion teeth.
Replace pinion if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of ring gear teeth.)
2. Inspect reduction gear teeth.
Replace reduction gear if teeth are worn or damaged. (Also check condition of armature shaft gear
teeth.)
3. Check to see if pinion locks in one direction and rotates smoothly in the opposite direction.
If it locks or rotates in both directions, or unusual resistance is evident, replace.

Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Charging)NKS003NP
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
Before starting, perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to SC-32, "
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION" .
1. Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.
After selecting “ENGINE” of “SELECT SYSTEM” using CONSULT-II, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR DUTY” to 0% by selecting “ALTERNATOR DUTY” of “ACTIVE TEST”. Continue “ACTIVE TEST”
until the end of inspection. (When the DUTY value is 0 or 100%, the normal power generation is per-
formed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator of the alternator.)
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery current sensor connector. [However, DTC
(P1550 - P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current
sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic results history of the engine using CONSULT-II.]
2. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
3. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
4. Press “ENTER” to begin the charging system test.
5. Start engine.
6. Press “ENTER” until “LOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SEC” is dis-
played.
7. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for about
5 seconds, then return the engine to idle.
Once the increase in engine rpm is detected, press “ENTER” to
continue.
NOTE:
If after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, “RPM NOT DETECTED” will display.
Some engines may have a higher idle initially after starting,
particularly when the engine is cold. The tester may detect
this without any other action being taken. If this occurs, con-
tinue on with the testing process. The final results will not be affected.
8. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the
DIODE/RIPPLE check.
9. When complete, the tester will prompt you to turn on the follow-
ing electrical loads.
Heater fan set to highest speed. Do not run the A/C or wind-
shield defroster.
Headlamp high beam

NOTE:
Do not run the windshield wipers or any other cyclical loads.

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. 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 TroubleshootingNIS0025O
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The 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 from
the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.

Part name Function
RAS control unit
Calculate the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication and the signals from steering
angle sensor and rear wheel steering angle sensor by a computer, and then control the rear
wheel steering angle.
Fail-safe function is activated when the electrical system is malfunctioning. The output signal
to the actuator is turned OFF during this mode. At that time, the RAS warning lamp illumi-
nates and indicates the system is malfunctioning.
It performs the communication control function with other control units via CAN communica-
tion.
This enables system diagnosis with CONSULT-II.
RAS actuatorThe efficiency of the rear wheel steer improves by locating the electric motor actuator into the
lower link of rear suspension.
Steering angle sensor
Measure the steering angle and send it to RAS control unit via CAN communication.
It is shared with the steering angle sensor for VDC.
Rear wheel steering angle sensor
It sends the rear wheel steering angle status to RAS control unit. The accuracy of rear wheel
steer improves by comparing the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication with the
rear wheel steering angle target value calculated from the wheel angle sensor signal, and it
controls them.
There are 2 types of rear wheel steering angle sensors (main/sub). If one of them is malfunc-
tioning, the other operates the fail-safe mode and stops the control.
RAS warning lamp
It turns on when the fail-safe function is operated and indicates that a RAS control malfunc-
tion has occurred.
It turns on when ignition switch turns on and turns off after the engine is started.
It indicates the suspect system by blinking when performing the self-diagnosis (without CON-
SULT-II).
