IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147721
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on the lower instrument panel
LH. It converts variations in
temperature of passenger compartment
air (drawn in through the integrated fan) into a resistance value. It is
then input into the A/C auto amp.
In-Vehicle Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147722
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to HAC-91, "Wiring Diagram".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: In-vehicle sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-III, DTC B2578 or B2579 is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-III, code 30, 31, 44 or 46 is indicated on A/C auto amp. as a
result of conducting self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Is self-diagnosis DTC B2578 or B2579 (with CONSULT-III) or code 30, 31 44 or 46 (without CONSULT-III)
present?
YES or NO?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN IN-V EHICLE SENSOR AND GROUND

ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005358670
1. BCM M18, M20 (view with instrument lower panel LH removed) 2. IPDM E/R E122, E123, E124 3. Combination switch (lighting and turn
signal switch) M28
4. Combination meter (illumination con- trol switch) M23, M24
Part name Description
BCM The BCM monitors the lighting switch position with the combina-
tion switch reading function. The BCM requests, via CAN com-
munication, that the IPDM E/R activate the tail lamp relay.
IPDM E/R The IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay based on inputs re-
ceived from the BCM via the CAN communication network.
Combination meter (illumination control switch) The illumination control switch is a part of the combination meter.
The combination meter controls illumination intensity by varying
ground to the illumination lamps based on the illumination control
switch position.
Combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) The combination switch provides input to the BCM about the light-
ing switch position.

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.
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. With brakes applied, place A/T shift selector in drive position.
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 INT-4, "
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 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.
The following materials are contained in the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can be
ordered separately as needed.

68370-4B000: 15×25 mm (0.59× 0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in ) wide tape roll. The following
materials not found in the kit can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.
UHMW (TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for inst rument panel applications.
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 TroubleshootingINFOID:0000000005147343
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 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 noise. 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 rattle. If you saturate the ar ea 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 areas 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

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Service NoticeINFOID:0000000005147346
• When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding on the vehicle body to prevent scratches.
• Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to soil or
damage them.
• Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
• When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
• When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust preven-
tion measures.
