PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AIS005RZ
A
The Supplemental Rest raint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used al ong
with a front seat belt, helps to redu ce th e risk or se verit y of i njury to the driv er and front passenge r for ce rtain
types of col lision. Information necessary to service the system safely is includ ed in the SRS a nd SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
● To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, whi ch could incr ease the risk of pe rsonal 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, inc luding incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury ca use d by unintentional ac tiv atio n o f the s ys t em . F or re mo va l of Spiral Cable and Ai r
Bag Module, see the SRS sec tion.
● Do not use electrical test equ ipment o n any circu it related to the SRS unless in structed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions AIS005S0
● When removing or disassembling any part, be carefu l not to damage or deform it. Prot ect parts, which
may get in the way with cloth.
● When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping tools 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. Aft er wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry clot h.
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 thinne r or benzine.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diagnostic Worksheet during the interview to docume nt the facts and conditions w hen the noise occurs and an y
customer's comments; refer to EI-9, "
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 ident if yi ng th e t y pe of no is e, i so lat e th e no is e in t er ms o f i t s c ha r ac te ris t ic s. T he n oi se c ha ract e ris ti cs
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 charact eristics include the lig ht contact/fast movement/ brought on by road condi tions/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 charact eristics inclu de the f ast repe ated co ntact/vibra tion or similar mov ement/l oose parts/mi ssing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
● Knock —(Like a knoc k 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 co nditions.
● Thump—(Hea vy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/d ead sound often brought on by activity.
● Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high freque ncy rattle/firm contact.
● Often the de gree of acceptable nois e level will vary d epending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the custome r.
● Weather conditions, especially humidit y and temperature, may have a great 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 Worksheet regarding the con ditions or location of the noise. This inform ation 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 doin g one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the no ise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine.
4) Use a floor jack to recreat e vehicle “twist”.
5) At idl e, apply engine load (electrical load, half- c lutch on M/T models, drive position on A/T models).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hamme r.
● Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.
● If it is difficult to duplicate the nois e, drive th e vehic le slowly on an und ulating or ro ugh road t o 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 pr ocedure to repair the nois e.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the nois e to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a lis tening 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 remo ving clip s an d fa stener s, o ther wise c lip s a nd fa stener can be br oken
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 pus h/pull the com ponent with ex cessive force, otherwise the noise will b e eliminated on ly
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 cont act marks.
Refer to EI-7, "
Generic Sque ak and Rattle Troubles hooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE
● If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component secur ely.
● 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 ure-
thane tape. A Niss an Squeak a nd Rattl e Kit (J-439 80) is avai lable thro ugh your authorized Nissan Pa rts
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.

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 Troubleshooting AIS00618
Refer to Table of Contents for specific comp on en t rem ov al and in stalla tion 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 hous ing
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 co mponents while drivi ng to s top the noise. Most of th es e in c ide nts c an be re paired 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 s pray to isolate a sq ueak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you w ill
not be able to recheck the repair.

CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and clust er lid C
3. Wiring harnes se s be hin d 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 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.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trun k by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. T runk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. T runk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose l icense plate or b racket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or compo nent(s) causing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can 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 windshiel d 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 isolatin g seat no ise it 's imp ort ant to not e the p ositi on th e seat is in and t he loa d plac ed on t he sea t when
the noise is present. These conditions shou ld 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. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the conditions under wh ic h th e n ois e oc cu rs. Most of these inci dents can be repaired by rep os iti on ing the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noi se may be caus ed by componen ts under the hood or o n the engine wall . The noise is th en
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Compon ents that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator moun tin g pi ns
5. Hood bumpers out of adjus tm e nt
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficu lt to isol ate sin ce the y cann ot be rea ched from the inter ior of the ve hi cle. The best
method is to sec ure, mov e or insul ate one com ponen t at a time and test drive the vehicle . Also , engine RPM
or load can be cha nged to isol ate the noise. Repairs can usu ally be made by moving, adj usting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.
