Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
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, half-clutch on M/T models, drive position on A/T models).
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 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 fastener 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 eliminated 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 EI-7, "
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.
NOTE:
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: 100×135 mm (3.94×5.31 in)/76884-71L01: 60×85 mm (2.36×3.35 in)/76884-
71L02: 15×25 mm (0.59×0.98 in)
INSULATOR (Foam blocks)
Insulates components from contact. Can be used to fill space behind a panel.
73982-9E000: 45 mm (1.77 in) thick, 50×50 mm (1.97×1.97 in)/73982-
50Y00: 10 mm (0.39 in) thick, 50×50 mm (1.97×1.97 in)

Removal and InstallationNBS005RL
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.
REMOVAL

Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.

Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:
–Using heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), removal heated
oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Check for deformation of the grommets (18 and 20 of Components).

Insert the collar (17 of Components) vertically.

Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.

Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified
torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a con-
crete floor. Use a new one.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the
anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.

When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.

Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.

With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
