An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
Heat Sensitive
The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car
has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
Do not heat components above 60°C (140°F). If incident occurs
while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the compo-
nent.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freezing
somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for
the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked outside
overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of
those electrical components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer
long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when
the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to
make a proper diagnosis.

PRECAUTIONS
2007 Versa
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Liquid GasketEBS00T6X
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating
use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the Tool.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-46, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEAL-
ANTS" .

Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating
component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten bolts or nuts after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling
engine oil and engine coolant.Tool number :WS39930000 ( — )PBIC2160E

CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial counterclockwise to full cold position.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-50, "
Insufficient Cooling" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial clockwise to full hot position.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-58, "
Insufficient Heating" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Press A/C switch.
3. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.

Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-41, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DEFROST A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Turn mode dial to ( ) DEF.
3. Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-41, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go to MTC-24, "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as outlined. If symptom appears, refer to MTC-
24, "SYMPTOM TABLE" and perform applicable trouble diagnosis procedures. Conditions : Engine running at normal operating temperature
