CHARGING SYSTEM
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005929019
The generator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicl e's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to generator terminal 3 through
• 10A fuse (No. 29, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Power is supplied through terminal 1 to charge the batte ry and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output
voltage is monitored at terminal 3 by the IC regulator. The charging circuit is protected by the 120A fusible link
[letter a , located in the fusible link box (battery)].
Ground is supplied
• to generator terminal 5
• through body ground F5, and
• through the generator case to the cylinder block
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No. 3, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 28 for the charge warning lamp.
The IC regulator controls ground to terminal 38 of the combination meter through terminal 2 of the generator.
When the ignition is turned on and power becomes availabl e at terminal 2, this "wakes up" the regulator. The
regulator monitors charge output and grounds terminal 2 or leaves it open depending on charge output. With
power and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will il luminate. When the generator is providing sufficient
voltage, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
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, shift selector in the drive position for
CVT and 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 v ehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, chec k ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom.
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follo w 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 SE-7, "
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 av ailable 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.

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:0000000005929602
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. Shift selector 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 while 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

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
• to front wiper high relay (located in IPDM E/R), and
• to CPU (located in IPDM E/R),
• through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 38,
• through 15A fuse [No. 4, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 14.
Ground is supplied
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59, and
• to front wiper motor terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24
• to BCM terminal 67, and
• to combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 12
• through grounds M57 and M61.
LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the front combination switch (wiper switch) is in LO position, the BCM detects the low speed wiper ON
signal by means of the BCM combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
The BCM sends a front wiper request signal (LO) through the CAN communication line
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When the IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (LO) , it turns ON front wiper relay, located in IPDM E/
R, power is supplied
• through IPDM E/R terminal 33 and front wiper high relay and front wiper relay
• to front wiper motor terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to front wiper motor terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground is supplied, front wiper motor operates at low speed.
HIGH SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the front combination switch (wiper switch) is in HI position, the BCM detects a high speed wiper ON
signal by means of the BCM combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
The BCM sends a front wiper request signal (HI) through the CAN communication line
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When the IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (HI), it turns ON front wiper relay and front wiper high
relay, located in IPDM E/R, power is supplied
• through IPDM E/R terminal 32
• to front wiper motor terminal 5.
Ground is supplied
• to front wiper motor terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground is supplied, front wiper motor operates at high speed.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Wiper intermittent operation delay interval is determined from the intermittent wiper dial position inputs. During
each intermittent operation delay interval, the BCM s ends a front wiper request signal to the IPDM E/R to
operate the wipers.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START positi on, and the front combination switch (wiper switch) is
turned to the intermittent position, the BCM detects a fr ont wiper (intermittent) ON signal by means of the BCM
combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
BCM then sends front wiper (intermittent) request signal through the CAN communication lines
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When BCM determines that combination switch (wiper swit ch) status is front wiper intermittent ON, it performs
the following operations.
• BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent wiper dial position
• BCM calculates operation interval from wiper dial position.
• BCM sends a front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R at calculated operation interval.
When IPDM E/R receives the front wiper request signal (INT), it supplies ground to energize the front wiper
relay. It then sends auto-stop signal to the BCM and conducts intermittent front wiper motor operation.
