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 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 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, drive position on A/T model).
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.
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: 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 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 BL-8, "
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 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 (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.
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.

When the back door latch receives the back door unlock signal, it operates the release actuator and
releases to back door latch.

The back door control unit operates the back door motor to open the back door. (At this time, speed con-
trol, input reverse, and overload reverse control are executed.)

When the back door is opened to the fully open position, the full-open position is detected with the rotation
sensor, the back door motor is stopped.

The door held by the back door stays at the full open position.
Full open → full closed operation

When a button of the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
close request signal to the back door control unit.

When the back door control unit receives the back door close request signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote
control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the
back door motor begins closing the back door.

The back door control unit operates the magnetic clutch and the back door motor to close the back door.
(At this time, the back door control unit executes speed control, input reverse, and overload reverse con-
trol.)

When the back door comes to the half-latch state, the back door latch detects the half-latch state through
half-latch switch operation. The back door latch latches the back door.
For the automatic back door system operation enable conditions, refer to BL-101, "
AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR
SYSTEM" .
Active Check Function
Operation Description
When a door is locked or unlocked by keyfob operation, the vehicle turn signals flash and the horn sounds to
verify operation.

When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the remote controller and received by the
keyless remote entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM sends the turn signal flashing and horn signal to the IPDM E/R.

The IPDM E/R flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn for each keyfob operation.

AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
System DescriptionEIS002SV
The automatic back door system consists of a one piece unit that combines the back door control unit along
with the back door motor, back door clutch and the back door encoder. The back door latch contains a lock
function that can control the two functions of automatic back door latch closure and electrical opener with a
single motor when you close the back door to the halfway-state.

Back door auto closure
When the back door is closed to the halfway state (half-latch) position, the motor automatically drives to
rotate the latch lever and pull it in from half latched to full latched.

Power back door
With the back door closed, press the power liftgate switch or press the remote keyless entry button, or pull
the back door handle with the back door unlocked, the back door latch motor opens the locking plate and
releases the latch. The back door motor then raises the door to the full open position.
With the back door fully open, press the power liftgate switch, remote keyless entry button or the back
door close switch, the back door motor closes the door to the half-latch state. The back door latch motor
then drives the latch to the full close position.
At the onset of each power open or power close application, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times and the
warning chime will sound 3 times lasting a total of 2 seconds.
