Precaution for Rear Suspension INFOID:0000000004305875
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Work Flow INFOID:0000000004306504
CUSTOMER INTERVIEW Interview the customer if possible, to determine the c onditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interv iew to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to SE-9, " 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 descr iption 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 mo vement/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 contac t/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
• Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/someti mes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
• Tick—(Like a clock second hand) Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of li ght materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
• Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise) Thump characteristics include softer k nock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
• Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
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.
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 lo cation of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair. SBT842

SILICONE GREASE
Used instead of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting INFOID:0000000004306505
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noi se. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or ra ttle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation pr ocedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them wh ile driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the ar eas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.
TRUNK Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket

Service Notice or Precaution for EPS System INFOID:0000000004307286
CAUTION:
Check or confirm the following item wh en performing the trouble diagnosis.
• Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if any
malfunction, such as EPS warn ing lamp turns ON, occurs.
• Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.
• Check if the connection of steer ing column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is
not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc).
• Check if the wheel alignmen t is adjusted properly.
• Check if there is any damage or modification to su spension or body resulting in increased weight or
altered ground clearance.
• Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.
• Check if the battery voltage is proper
• Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.
• Before connecting or disconnect ing the EPS control unit har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect
battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is applied to
EPS control unit even if igniti on switch is turned “OFF”.
• When connecting or disconnect ing pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin terminals
(bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are no
bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.
• Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit input/output signal inspectio n and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-9, " EPS

• If any malfunction occurs in the system, and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp on com-
bination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
• When EPS warning lamp is ON, enters a manual steer ing state. (Control turning force steering wheel
becomes heavy.)
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis INFOID:0000000004307291
BASIC CONCEPT
• To perform trouble diagnosis, it is a must to have an understanding about vehicle systems (control and mechanism) thoroughly.
• It is also important to clarify customer complaints before starting
the inspection.
First of all, reproduce the symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it
will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with cus-
tomer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
• It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on inter-
view with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspection
on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by
poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake suspected
harness or connector by hand. When repairing without any symp-
tom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions has actually been
eliminated.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Be sure to check the procedures of the trouble diagnosis in advance. Refer to "How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis" .
• Always erase memory after completing trouble diagnosis. Refer to STC-11, " CONSULT-III Function (EPS) " .
• Checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check connector terminals for disconnection,
looseness, bend, or collapse. Repair or replace app licable part if any non-standard condition is detected.
• Be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal if a circuit tester is used for the check.
• Always confirm the general precautions. Refer to GI-3, " General Precaution " .
INTERVIEW
• Complaints vary depending on the person. It is important to clarify the customer's actual remarks.
• Ask the customer about what sy mptoms occur under what condi-
tions. Use the information to reproduce the symptom of confirm by
vehicle. SEF233G

A sensor-transmitter integrated with a valve is installed in each
wheel, and transmits a detected air pressure signal in the form of a
radio wave. The radio signal is received by the remote keyless entry
receiver.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY RECEIVER The remote keyless entry receiver is shown with the glove box
removed. The remote keyless entry receiver receives the air pres-
sure signal transmitted by the transmitter in each wheel.
COMBINATION METER The combination meter receives tire pressure status from the BCM
using CAN communication. When a low tire pressure condition is
sensed by the BCM, the combination meter low tire pressure warn-
ing lamp is activated.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CHECK CONNECTOR The tire pressure warning check connector can be grounded in order to initiate self-diagnosis without a CON-
SULT-III. Refer to WT-17, " Self-Diagnosis (Without CONSULT-III) " . The tire pressure warning check connector
is located behind the lower portion of the instrument panel LH. Refer to PG-38, " Harness Layout " . WEIA0186E
