Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester (Starting)AKS0079E
NOTE: 
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be done 
as a set from start to finish. 
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
2. Perform battery test with Battery/Starting/Charging system  tester. Refer to   SC-6, "
Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/
Charging System Tester (Battery)" . 
3. Press “ENTER” to begin the starting system test. 
4. Start the engine. 
5. Diagnostic result is displayed on the tester. Refer to   SC-13,
"DIAGNOSTIC RESULT ITEM CHART" . 
NOTE:
If the starter performs normally but the engine does not start, 
perform engine diagnosis.
For intermittent “NO CRANK” or “NO STARTER OPERA-
TION” incidents, refer to   SC-16, "
DIAGNOSTIC PROCE-
DURE 2" .

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT  
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AIS0055Y
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and 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 necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man- 
ual. 
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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per- 
sonal 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.
Service NoticeAIS00389
When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to oil or
damage them.
Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust pre-
vention measures.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag- 
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to   SE-9, "
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 sur-
faces=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.
