Checking Fuel LinesNBS004IG
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsNBS004IH
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:

Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-6, "Precautions for Fuel
(Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)" .

Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-86, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-746, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).
–Disconnect negative battery terminal.

Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.

After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at
connections.
–Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.

Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come
on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-39, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VQ35DE) or
EC-699, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" (VK45DE).

For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-46, "
ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR
RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VQ35DE) or EC-706, "ON BOARD
REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" (VK45DE).

Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
13. Remove fuel filler tube protector and fuel filler tube, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel tube.

Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the distance between its lugs becomes to the following.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres- sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and rev it up and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system tube and hose connec- tions.

After removing/installing rear suspension assembly, make sure to adjust wheel alignment and then, adjust
neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to RSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" and BRC-6,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

FELT CLOTHTAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.

materials, not found in the kit, can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.
UHMW (TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used in place of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
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 TroubleshootingNIS001QL
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 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 apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
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.
CENTER CONSOLE
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.
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 (J43980) to repair the noise.

Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
POWER WINDOW SERIAL LINK
Power window main switch, front power window switch (passenger side), and BCM transmit and receive the
signal by power window serial link.
The under mentioned signal is transmitted from BCM to power window main switch and front power window
switch (passenger side)

Keyless power window down signal.
The under mentioned signal is transmitted from power window main switch to front power window switch (pas-
senger side)

Front passenger side door window operation signal.

Power window control by key cylinder switch signal.

Power window lock signal.

Retained power operation signal.
POWER WINDOW LOCK
The power window lock is designed to lock operation of all windows except for driver side door window.
When the lock position, ground of the rear power window switches in the power window main switch is discon-
nected. The power window lock signal is transmitted to front power window switch (passenger side) by power
window serial link. This prevents the power window motors from operating.
RETAINED POWER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position from ON or START position.
Power is supplied for 45 seconds

through BCM terminal 53

to power window main switch terminal 10

to rear power window switch (LH and RH) terminals 1.
When power and ground are supplied, the BCM continues to be energized, and the power window can be
operated.
The retained power operation is canceled when the driver or passenger side door is opened.
RAP signal period can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to GW-29, "
CONSULT-II Function (BCM)" .
ANTI-PINCH SYSTEM
Power window main switch and front power window switch (passenger side) monitors the power window motor
operation and the power window position (full closed or other) for driver side and passenger side power win-
dow by the signals from encoder and limit switch in front power window motor (driver side and passenger
side).
When power window main switch detects interruption during the following close operation,

automatic close operation when ignition switch is in the “ON” position

automatic close operation during retained power operation

manual close operation during retained power operation
power window main switch or front power window switch (passenger side) controls each power window motor
for open and the power window will be lowered about 150 mm (5.91 in).
POWER WINDOW CONTROL BY THE KEY CYLINDER SWITCH
When ignition key switch is OFF, front power window can be opened or closed by turning the key cylinder
switch UNLOCK / LOCK position more than 1.5 second over condition.

Power window can be opened as the door key cylinder is kept fully turning to the UNLOCK position.

Power window can be closed as the door key cylinder is kept fully turning to the LOCK position.
The power window DOWN stops when the following operations are carried out.

While performing open / close the window, power window is stopped at the position as the door key cylin-
der is placed on NEUTRAL.

When the ignition switch is turned ON while the power window DOWN is operated.
