PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001724583
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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
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 har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000001724584
 When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
 Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
 After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
 Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000001724575
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are within specifications.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace it if necessary.
Wheel AlignmentINFOID:0000000001724576
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-5, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
 This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.
 The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
 The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
 The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.
 Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
 Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-5, "Wheel
Alignment" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
 The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.
 This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
 Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
 See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER INSPECTION

RSU-6
< ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE >
REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
 Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable align-
ment gauge.
 If it is out of the specification value, inspect and replace any dam-
aged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If it is out of the specification, inspect and replace any damaged or
worn rear suspension parts.
WARNING:
 Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
 Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn). If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).Camber : Refer to RSU-12, "

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 instead 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 TroubleshootingINFOID:0000000001710923
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 silicone 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 (J-43980) to repair the noise.
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 bumpers out of adjustment

SR-8
< ON-VEHICLE REPAIR >
SPIRAL CABLE
6. Disconnect lighting and turn signal switch connector (1). Then
while pressing tabs (2), pull lighting and turn signal switch
toward driver door to remove.
7. Remove the screws, then release the tab at the top and pull the
spiral cable away from the steering column assembly.
8. Disconnect spiral cable connectors.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel, refer to
ST-8, "
Removal and Installation". Make sure spiral cable alignment
and centering marks (B) are matched and in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left 2.6 revolutions from
the right end position, ending with the locating pin (A) at the top.
Place steering wheel in straight ahead position, then install it with
the locating pin hole (C) directly over spiral cable locating pin.
 After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRC-11, "
SRS Operation
Check".
