TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000003852782
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
 Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
 When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
 Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000003852783
 Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
 Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec-
tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
 Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow
sensor.
HosesINFOID:0000000003852784
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
 To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose with
tapered tool or screwdriver.
 To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion
length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
 If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-
tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
 Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
 After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of
the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Engine OilsINFOID:0000000003852785
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
 Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
 Do not put oily rags in pockets.
 Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
 Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-
larly.
 First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
 Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
 Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepara-
tions containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
 Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
 If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
 Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.
 Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
Air ConditioningINFOID:0000000003852786
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
HA section “REFRIGERATION SYSTEM” for specific instructions.

 Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or hit-
ting it.
 Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to rapid
temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it. If water
is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in the vehi-
cle.
 Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.
 Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.
 Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the upper
and lower covers.
 When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit from
damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.
 When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use the
specified check adapter.
Intermittent IncidentINFOID:0000000003852795
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics: Vehicle vibration
 Heat sensitive
 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.
Connector & Harness
SAIA0255E
SEF348N

GI-36
< BASIC INSPECTION >
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
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.
Sensor & Relay
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.
Under Seating Areas
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
HEAT SENSITIVE
 The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car
has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
 To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Do not heat components above 60°C (140°).
 If incident occurs while heating the unit, either replace or properly
insulate the component.

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 the repair is reconfirmed.
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.
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 is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
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 is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only tem-
porarily.
 Feeling for a vibration by hand by touching the component(s) that is are suspected to be the cause of the
noise.
 Placing a piece of paper between components that is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
 Looking for loose components and contact marks.
Refer to GW-4, "
Inspection Procedure".
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. These insulators are available through the authorized Nissan Parts Department.
CAUTION:
Never use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
NOTE:
 URETHANE PADS
Insulates connectors, harness, etc.
 INSULATOR (Foam blocks)
Insulates components from contact. Can be used to fill space behind a panel.
 INSULATOR (Light foam block)
 FELT CLOTHTAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
The following materials, not available through NISSAN Parts Department, 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 is be visible or does not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
 SILICONE SPRAY
Used when grease cannot be applied.
 DUCT TAPE
Used to eliminate movement.

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 is important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat
when the noise occurs. 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.
