PRECAUTIONS |
PFP:00001 |
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal 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, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SRS section.
●Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.
Precautions |
AIS005SP |
●Disconnect both battery cables 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 unreusable part is removed, 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-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. 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 stain with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely. Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
●Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
PFP:00000
AIS0061A
SBT842
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diagnostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any customer's comments; refer toIP-8, "Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
●The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the 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 noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer 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 so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when 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 surface=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 characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing 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 characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver action or road conditions.
●Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
●Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency 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 humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
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 location 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 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 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.
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.

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 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 push/pull the component with excessive force, 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" .

●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 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 Department.
CAUTION:
Do not 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.

Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting |
AIS0061B |
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
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 noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by applying felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring harness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will not be able to recheck the repair.
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 procedures also apply to the center console.
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 areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.
