ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
1. Remove passenger-side kicking plate, dash side finisher, and glove box. Refer to EI-37, "BODY SIDE
TRIM" and IP-10, "INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
2. Disconnect engine room harness connectors at unit sides TCM, ECM and other.
3. Disengage intermediate fixing point. Pull out engine room harnesses to engine room side, and temporarily secure them on engine.
CAUTION:

When pulling out harnesses, take care not to damage harnesses and connectors.

After temporarily securing, cover connectors with vinyl or similar material to protect against for-
eign material adhesion.
Vehicle Underbody
1. Remove A/T fluid cooler hoses and power steering oil pump oil cooler hoses.

Install plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid and power steering fluid.
2. Remove exhaust front tube and center muffler. Refer to EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
3. Disconnect steering lower joint at power steering gear assembly side, and release steering lower shaft. Refer to PS-12, "
STEERING COLUMN" .
4. Remove tunnel stay. Refer to RSU-5, "
REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
5. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-7, "
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT" .
6. Remove front drive shaft (both side). Refer to FAX-12, "
FRONT DRIVE SHAFT" .
7. Disconnect harness connector from transmission assembly and transfer assembly.
8. Disengage A/T control rod at control device assembly side. Then, temporarily secure it on the transmis- sion assembly, so that it does not sag. Refer to AT- 2 2 9 , "
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM" .
9. Remove rear plate from oil pan (upper). Then remove bolts fixing drive plate to torque converter. Refer to EM-30, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" and AT- 2 6 6 , "TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY" .
10. Remove bolts fixing the transmission assembly to lower rear side of oil pan (upper). Refer to AT- 2 6 6 ,
"TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY" .
11. Remove front stabilizer. Refer to FSU-16, "
STABILIZER BAR" .
12. Separate steering outer sockets from steering knuckle. Refer to PS-17, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND
LINKAGE" .
13. Separate transverse links from suspension member and vehicle body. Refer to FSU-14, "
TRANSVERSE
LINK" .
Removal Work
1. Use a manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiv-
alently rigid tool such as a transmission jack. Securely support
bottom of suspension member and transmission.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.

Freezing

Water intrusion

Electrical load

Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of the
problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustra-
tion.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gently
shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to duplicate.
This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs inter-
mittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the
terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of the
things to check for are:

Connectors not fully seated.

Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.

Wires laying across brackets or moving components.

Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections. (Refer to Ground
Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded. Then check for loose connection
by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the
wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehi-
cle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.

INSULATOR (Light foam block)
80845-71L00: 30 mm (1.18 in) thick, 30 ×50 mm (1.18 ×1.97 in)
FELT CLOTHTAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
68370-4B000: 15 ×25 mm (0.59 ×0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in) wide tape roll. The following
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.

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.
