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, che ck 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 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 SE-8, "
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 loos ening 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 av ailable through your authorized Nissan Parts Depart-
ment.
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.

DRAINING
1. Run the vehicle to warm up the transfer unit sufficiently.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the drain plug to drain the transferfluid.
3. Apply sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-40, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
 Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-44,
"Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug and add transfer fluid until fluid level reaches
the specified limit near filler plug mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill the fluid. (Fil l up for approx. 3 minutes.)
2. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check the fluid level again.
3. Set a new gasket onto filler plug and install it on tr ansfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-
40, "Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

FLUID LEAKAGE AND FLUID LEVEL
1. Check fluid level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the
figure.
2. Before installing filler plug, set a new gasket. Install filler plug on transfer and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-40, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly".

AWD SYSTEM
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. Control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
4. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.  Transmission torque to front wheels is determined accordingto command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT
 Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from sen-
sors.
 Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force- AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

Drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute before performing the self-diagnosis.
Display Item List
CAUTION:
 If “CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communication
line.
 Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driving for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more after turn- ing ignition switch “OFF” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunction of “ABS SYSTEM [C1203]”. AWD warning
lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results
Before erasing DTC memory, start the engine and drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute.
Checkthat ABS warning lamp turns OFF.
NOTE:
Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driv ing for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19
MPH) or more after turning ignition switch “OFF ” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunc-
tion of “ABS SYSTE M [C1203]”. AWD warning lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition
switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.
