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 models, drive position on A/T models).
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
(Engine Ear or 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 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 IP-6, "
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 are available through your authorized Nissan Parts 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.
Each item can be ordered separately as needed.

TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing 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 windshield 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 isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should 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. Rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication SystemBKS0040U
In CAN communication system, multiple units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each unit cannot transmit
and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communication line. Under this condition, multiple control units
related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.
ERROR EXAMPLE
NOTE:

Each vehicle differs in symptom of each unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.

Refer to LAN-41, "Abbreviation List" for the unit abbreviation.
Example: TCM branch line open circuit

2. CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR: Check each item on “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR”. Draw a line on the
diagnosis sheet to indicate the error circuit.
a. Reception item of “ENGINE”: On “TCM”, “UNKWN” is indicated. This means ECM cannot receive the sig-
nal from TCM. Draw a line to indicate an error between ECM and TCM (line 2-a in the figure).
NOTE:
If “UNKWN” is indicated on “TRANSMIT DIAG”, then the control unit cannot transmit CAN communication
signal to each unit. Draw a line between the control unit and the splice.
b. Reception item of “ADAPTIVE LIGHT”: On “TCM”, “UNKWN” is indicated. This means AFS cannot
receive the signal from TCM. Draw a line to indicate an error between AFS and TCM (line 2-b in the fig-
ure).
c. Reception item of “MULTI AV”: “UNKWN” is not indicated. This indicates normal communication between
AV and its receiving units. Do not draw any line.

2. CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR (with PAST): Check the CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR (with PAST) of units
indicating “U1000” or “U1001” on SELF-DIAG RESULTS. Draw a line on the diagnosis sheet to indicate
the possible error circuit.
NOTE:
For the details of each indication on CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR, refer to LAN-44, "
CAN Diagnostic Sup-
port Monitor" .
a. Reception item of “ENGINE”: “VDC/TCS/ABS”, “3” is indicated in the “PAST”. This means ECM could not
receive the signal from ABS in the past. Draw a line between ECM and ABS (line 2-a in the figure).
b. Reception item of “METER”: “VDC/TCS/ABS”, “3” is indicated in the “PAST”. This means M&A could not
receive the signal from ABS in the past. Draw a line between M&A and ABS (line 2-b in the figure).
c. Reception item of “TRANSMISSION”: “VDC/TCS/ABS”, “3” is indicated in the “PAST”. This means TCM
could not receive the signal from ABS in the past. Draw a line between TCM and ABS (line 2-c in the fig-
ure).

4. Search for the possible cause using CAN communication signal chart using information from the interview
with the customer.
NOTE:
For the details of CAN communication signal, refer to LAN-51, "
CAN Communication Signal Chart" .
a. ABS warning lamp turned ON and speedometer did not move: This means that “ABS warning lamp signal”
and “Vehicle speed signal” could not communicate between M&A and ABS (4-a in the figure).
b. The tachometer moved normally: This means that “Engine speed signal” could communicate normally
between ECM and M&A (4-b in the figure).
