< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area c an often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it is important to note t he position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat
when the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of
the noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. Rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the \
vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Service Notice or Precautions for TransferINFOID:0000000006222211
CAUTION:
 Use Genuine NISSAN Transfer Fluid. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse transfer fluid, once it has been drained.
 Check the fluid level or repl ace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
 During removal or installati on, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
 Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tir es of the proper size and the same brand and pat-
tern. Fitting improper size and unusually worn tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism
and can cause longitudinal vibration.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the
internal parts from becoming contamin ated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 All parts should be carefully cl eaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspec-
tion or reassembly.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are
required, be certain they do not interfere wit h the function of the parts when applied.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace
them with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nu ts gradually in several steps workin g diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, use it.
 Observe the specified torque when assembling.
 Clean and flush the parts su fficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 Clean inner parts with lint-free cloth or towels . Do not use cotton work gloves and rags to prevent
adhering fibers.

NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect bot h battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the bat tery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wi ll remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Servicing Front Final DriveINFOID:0000000006222373
 Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the f unction of the parts they are applied to.
 Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
 Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
 Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
 Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
 In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
 During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
 Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.
