Work FlowINFOID:0000000001704248
CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer, if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to IP-8, "
Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain
all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).
• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer is
concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.
• After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.
- Squeak — (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.
- Creak — (Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.
- Rattle — (Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
- Knock — (Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
- Tick — (Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
- Thump — (Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
- Buzz — (Like a bumblebee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
• Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may judge
as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.
• Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

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 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 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 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 elimi-
nated 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 IP-6, "
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.
Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.

PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001711215
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIRBAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001704359
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000001704360
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704361
Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body control module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM receives an input sig-
nal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communica-
tion lines, to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) requesting the headlamps be
turned ON. The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls ground for the headlamp high
and headlamp low relay coils. These relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
• to headlamp high relay RH and LH (located in IPDM E/R),
• to headlamp low relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• to ignition relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• through 15A fuse (No. 52, located in IPDM E/R) and
• through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in IPDM E/R)

HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives an input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. The BCM then sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the IPDM E/R requesting the low
beam headlamps be turned ON. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls ground to the headlamp low relay
coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to headlamp RH terminal 3, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to headlamp LH terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminals 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and high beam switch in the HIGH position, the BCM receives an input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and
also sends a signal to the BCM. This input signal is then communicated to the IPDM E/R and the combination
meter via the CAN communication. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relays (LH
and RH), which when energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to headlamp RH terminal 1, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 55
• to headlamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the combination meter requesting the high
beam indicator lamp be turned ON.
