SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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 model, 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 mechanic's 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 eliminated only tem-
porarily.
• 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 BL-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 urethane
tape. A NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through your authorized NISSAN Parts Depart-
ment.
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.

Operation Description
• When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote key-
less entry receiver.
• The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
• If the ID number matches, the BCM sends the lock/unlock signal to each door lock actuator.
• When the door lock actuators receive this signal, each operates to lock/unlock its door.
• BCM locks all doors with input of LOCK signal from keyfob.
• When an UNLOCK signal is sent from keyfob once, driver's door will be unlocked.
• Then, if an UNLOCK signal is sent from keyfob again within 5 seconds, all other doors will be unlocked.
Remote control entry operation conditions
Auto Lock Function
Operation Description
• Unless the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder, one of the doors is opened, or the keyfob is operated
within 1 minute after a door lock is unlocked by keyfob operation, all the doors are automatically locked.
The 1 minute timer count is executed by the BCM and after 1 minute, the BCM sends the lock signal to all
doors.
Lock operations are the same as for the remote control entry function.
Remote Control Automatic Back Door Function
Switching from all closed to all open
• When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote key-
less entry receiver.
• The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
• If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
open signal to the back door control unit
• When the back door control unit receives the back door open signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote control
automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the back door
unlock signal is sent to the back door latch using communication.
• When the back door latch receives the back door unlock signal, it operates the release actuator and
releases to back door latch.
• The back door control unit operates the back door motor to open the back door. (At this time, speed control,
input reverse, and overload reverse control are executed.)
• When the back door is opened to the fully open position, the full-open position is detected with the rotation
sensor, the back door motor is stopped.
• The door held by the back door stays at the full open position.
Full open → full closed operation
• When a button of the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote key-
less entry receiver.
• The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
• If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
close request signal to the back door control unit.
• When the back door control unit receives the back door close request signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote
control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the
back door motor begins closing the back door.
• The back door control unit operates the magnetic clutch and the back door motor to close the back door. (At
this time, the back door control unit executes speed control, input reverse, and overload reverse control.)
• When the back door comes to the half-latch state, the back door latch detects the half-latch state through
half-latch switch operation. The back door latch latches the back door.

The automatic back door system must be initialized by fully closing the back door anytime the battery
power is lost to the back door control unit.
The automatic back door system consists of a one piece unit that combines the back door control unit along
with the back door motor, back door clutch and the back door encoder. The back door latch contains a lock
function that can control the two functions of automatic back door latch closure and electrical opener with a
single motor when you close the back door to the halfway-state.
• Back door auto closure
When the back door is closed to the halfway state (half-latch) position, the motor automatically drives to
rotate the latch lever and pull it in from half latched to full latched.
• Power back door
With the back door closed, press the power liftgate switch or press the keyfob button, or pull the back door
handle with the back door unlocked, the back door latch motor opens the locking plate and releases the
latch. The back door motor then raises the door to the full open position.
With the back door fully open, press the power liftgate switch, keyfob button or the back door close switch,
the back door motor closes the door to the half-latch state. The back door latch motor then drives the latch to
the full close position.
At the onset of each power open or power close application, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times and the
warning chime will sound 3 times lasting a total of 2 seconds.
