APPLICATION ITEM
WORK SUPPORT
*: Adjusts the steering angle sensor neutral position on ABS actuator and electrical unit (control unit) side. Refer to
BRC-64, "Work Pro-
cedure".
DATA MONITOR
*: The swivel angle "0°" (feedback value) of the swivel position sensor signal may differ from the swivel angle "0 °" of the swivel motor
(AFS control unit command value). This causes that the swivel motor initializes the value based on the step number from the sto pper.

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 the repair is reconfirmed.
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 items:
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-cl utch on M/T models, drive position on A/T models).
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 the 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 component(s) in the area that is / are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
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(s) that is / are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component(s) with excessive force, otherwise the noise is eliminated only tempo-
rarily.
 Feeling for a vibration by hand by touching the component(s ) that is / are suspected to be the cause of the
noise.
 Placing a piece of paper between components that are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
 Looking for loose components and contact marks. Refer to EXT-8, "
Inspection Procedure".
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 components, 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 the authorized NISSAN Parts
Department.
CAUTION:
Never 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.
The following materials are contained in the NISSA N Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can be
ordered separately as needed.

TOW TRUCK TOWING
Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000006280880
CAUTION:
 All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
 It is necessary to use proper towi ng equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-
ing operation. To wing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
 Always attach safety chains before towing.
 When towing, check that the transmission, steering syst em and powertrain are in good order. If any
unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
 Never tow automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on the
ground. This may cause serious and exp ensive damage to the transmission.
4WD MODELS
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when towing 4WD models.
CAUTION:
Never tow 4WD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the powertrain.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)INFOID:0000000006280881
FREEING TRAPPED VEHICLE
WARNING:
 Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
 Never allow anyone to stand near the towing line during the pulling operation.
 Never spin your tires at high sp eed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
CAUTION:
 Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hooks or main structural mem-
bers of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
 Never use the vehicle tie downs to free a vehicle st uck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehi-
cle using the vehicle tie downs or recovery hooks.
 Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at an angle.

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to
the CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers
do not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale each three month.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.
2. Press “8787”. “A1” is displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press “0”, then press “Enter”. “0.00” is displayed and change to “A2”.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight ), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb.) on the center
of the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digi ts. (Example 10 lb. = 10.00, 10.5 lb. = 10.50)
7. Press “Enter”— the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.
9. Press “6”— the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00” is displayed.
11. Press “Shift/Reset” to return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accu racy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING]
SYSTEM
 When air outlet is VENT or B/L, the minimum air flow is changed
depending on sunload.
STARTING AIR FLOW CONTROL
 When front blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. graduallyincreases duty ratio of front blower motor control signal to prevent
a sudden increase in discharge air flow.
 It takes approximately 8 seconds for air flow to reach HI from LOW.
LOW COOLANT TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
If the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, to prevent
a cold discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends front blower
motor activation for the maximum 150 seconds depending on target
front air mix door opening angle. After this, front blower motor control
signal is increased gradually, and front blower motor is activated.
HIGH IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
When front evaporator fin temperature is high [intake sensor value is 35°C (95 °F) or more], to prevent a hot
discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends front blower motor activation for approximately 3 seconds so that
front evaporator is cooled by refrigerant.
FAN SPEED CONTROL AT DOOR MOTOR OPERATION
When front mode door motor is activated while air flow is more than the specified value, A/C auto amp.
reduces temporarily fan speed wo that front mode door moves smoothly.
FRONT AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONIN G SYSTEM : Air Inlet ControlINFOID:0000000006275863
The intake door is automatically controlled by the temperature set-
ting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature (front side), intake
temperature, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the com-
pressor.
Intake door automatic control selects FRE, 20% FRE, or REC
depending on a target front air mix door opening angle, based on in-
vehicle temperature (front side) , ambient temperature, and sunload.
