PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEA T
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front sea t belt , helps t o redu ce th e r isk or s everi ty of injury to th e driv er an d front passenge r for c ertain
types of collisi on . Thi s s ys te m in cludes seat belt swi tch inp uts an d dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information ne ce ss ary t o se rvi ce th e sy stem saf e ly is i nclu de d in th e SR S and SB se ct i on of th is Ser vic e Manual.
WARNING:
● To avoid rendering the SRS inoperativ e, which cou ld increase the risk of persona l injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● Improper maintenance, in cluding incorrect removal a nd installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For rem ova l of Sp iral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipme nt on any circuit related to the SRS unle ss instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors .
AIS001BT
Precautions for Battery Service AIS002NK
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions AIS001BU
● Disconnect both battery cab les in advance.
● Disconnect air bag system line in advance.
● Never tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
● Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
● When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, which
may get in the way with cloth.
● When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
● Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
● If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
● If an unreus able part is r emoved, replace it with a new one.
● Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
● After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly .
● Remove stains in the following way.
Water- s oluble stai ns:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tigh tly. After wiping the stain , wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the st ain
with the cloth. Nex t, di p t he clot h i n f resh wat er and squ ee ze i t tigh tl y. Then clean off th e de t erg en t co mp let el y.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
● Do not use any or ganic solvent, su ch as thinner or be nzine.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the cus to me r if po ss ib le , to de t ermi n e th e co nd iti on s th at exi st whe n th e no is e occu r s. Use th e D iagnostic Worksheet durin g the interview to docum ent the facts and conditio ns when the noise occu rs and any
customer's comments; refer to IP-8, "
conditions that exist when the noise occur s .
● The customer ma y not be able to provide a detailed description or t he location of th e 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 n oise in th e veh icle , be s ure to di agno se an d repair th e noi se th at the cus tome r
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 s o the cus tomer, service adviser and techni cian are al l speaking the same language w hen
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 sur face=chirping
● Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.
● Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle charac teristic s inclu de the fast repe ated c ontact/vibrat ion or simila r moveme nt/loose parts/missi ng
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
● Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
● Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristi cs include gentle contacting of light m aterials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
● Thump—(Hea vy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics incl ude softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
● Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics incl ude high frequen c y 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 humid ity and temperature, may have a gr eat 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 Works heet regarding the co nditions or locatio n of the noise. This in formation 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 duplicate 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, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.
● Drive the vehicle an d att em pt to dup li ca te th e co nd iti on s th e cu stom er st at e s exi st w he n the no is e oc cu rs.
● 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: J39570, Engi ne Ear and mechanics 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 fastener 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 pu sh/pull the c omponent with excessive fo rce, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only
temporarily.
● 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 IP-6, "
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE
● If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.
● If the cause is insufficien t clearance bet ween components:
– separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, 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 (J43980) is available through your authorized NISSAN Parts
Department.
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 (J43980). Each item can be

CONFIRM THE REP AIR
Confirm that the c ause of a n oise is repai red by test dr iving the ve hicle. Op erate the ve hicle und er the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting AIS004ZE
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 ga rni sh
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defros ter duct and duc t joint
These incide nts can usually b e located by tapping or moving the components to du plicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by applying felt cloth tape or silico n spray (in h ard to reac h areas ). Uret hane pads can be used to insul ate wiring harness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone s pray to isolate a s queak 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 includ e:
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 procedures 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 thes e incidents. You can usuall y insulat e the areas with fel t cloth tape o r insula tor foam bl ocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J43980) to repair the noise.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
TRUNK
Trunk noises are ofte n caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsio n ba rs kn oc king together
4. A loose licen s e pla te or bra ck et
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) causing the noise.
A
B
C
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, r ail, 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.
SEAT S
When isolati ng sea t noise i t's im por t ant to no te th e posi tion th e seat is in a nd the load place d on the sea t when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying an d isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak betwe e n the seat pad cushion and fr ame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the conditions under whi ch the no is e o cc urs . M os t of these incidents ca n be repaired by repositioning the compone nt
or applying ur ethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components und er the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the pass enger 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 is olate since they cann ot be reached fro m the int erior of th e vehic le. 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.
