Work Flow INFOID:0000000004676909

CUSTOMER INTERVIEWInterview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and anycustomer comments. Refer to GW-6, "Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate theconditions that exist when the noise occurs.• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain

all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, perform a diagnosis and repair the noise that the customer is

concerned about. This can be accomplished by performing a test drive with the customer.• After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics

are provided so that the customer, service adviser, and technician use the same language when describingthe noise.

• Squeak – (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)Squeak characteristics include the light contact / fast movement / brought on by road conditions / hard sur-faces = high-pitched noise / softer surfaces = low-pitched noises / edge to surface = chirping

• Creak – (Like walking on an old wooden floor)Creak characteristics include firm contact / slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement / pitchdependent on materials / often brought on by activity.

• Rattle – (Like shaking a baby rattle)Rattle characteristics include fast repeated contact / vibration or similar movement / loose parts/missing clipor fastener / incorrect clearance.

• Knock – (Like a knock on a door)Knock characteristics include hollow sounds / sometimes repeating / often brought on by driver action.

• Tick – (Like a clock second hand)Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials / loose components / can be caused by driveraction or road conditions.

• Thump – (Heavy, muffled knock noise)Thump characteristics include softer knock / dull sounds often brought on by activity.

• Buzz – (Like a bumblebee)Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle / firm contact.

• Often the degree of acceptable noise level varies depending upon the person. A noise that a technician mayjudge as acceptable may be very irritating to a customer.

• Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information onthe Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used toduplicate the same conditions when the repair is reconfirmed.If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, do the following with the vehicle stopped to helpidentify the source of the noise.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 BULLETINSAfter verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relatedto the concern or symptom.If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.

LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool

(Chassis ear: J-39570, engine ear, and mechanics stethoscope).2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:• Removing the component(s) in the area(s) 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 fasteners can be brokenor lost during the repair, creating a new noise.

• Tapping or pushing/pulling the component(s) that is / are suspected to be the cause of the noise.Do not tap or push/pull the component(s) with excessive force, otherwise the noise is eliminated only tempo-rarily.

• Feeling for a vibration by hand by touching the component(s) that is / are suspected to be the cause of thenoise.

• Placing a piece of paper between components that 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 components, if possible.- Insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape, or ure-

thane tape. A NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through the authorized NISSAN PartsDepartment.

CAUTION:Never 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.The following materials are contained in the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can beordered separately as needed.URETHANE PADS [1.5 mm (0.059 in) thick]Insulates connectors, harness, etc.• 76268-9E005: 100 × 135 mm (3.937 × 5.315 in)• 76884-71L01: 60 × 85 mm (2.362 × 3.346 in)• 76884-71L02: 15 × 25 mm (0.591 × 0.984 in)INSULATOR (Foam blocks)Insulates components from contact. Can be used to fill space behind a panel.• 73982-9E000: 45 mm (1.772 in) thick, 50 × 50 mm (1.969 × 1.969 in)• 73982-50Y00: 10 mm (0.394 in) thick, 50 × 50 mm (1.969 × 1.969 in)INSULATOR (Light foam block)80845-71L00: 30 mm (1.18 in) thick, 30 × 50 mm (1.181 × 1.969in)FELT CLOTHTAPE

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.• 68370-4B000: 15 × 25 mm (0.591 × 0.984 in) pad• 68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.197 in) wide tape rollThe following materials, not found in the kit, can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.UHMW (TEFLON) TAPEInsulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.SILICONE GREASEUsed in place of UHMW tape that is visible or does not fit. Only lasts a few months.SILICONE SPRAYUsed when grease cannot be applied.DUCT TAPEUsed to eliminate movement.

CONFIRM THE REPAIRAfter repair is complete, test drive the vehicle to confirm that the cause of noise is repaired by test driving thevehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to thenotes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.

Inspection Procedure INFOID:0000000004676910

Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.

INSTRUMENT PANELMost incidents are caused by contact and movement between:1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish4. Instrument panel to windshield5. Instrument panel mounting pins6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint

These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or bypressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired byapplying felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulatewiring harness.CAUTION:Never use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If the area is saturated with silicone, therecheck of repair becomes impossible.

CENTER CONSOLEComponents to check include:1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unitThe instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.

DOORSCheck the following items:1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise2. Inside handle escutcheon connection to door finisher3. Wiring harnesses tapping4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stopsTapping, moving the components, or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolatemany of these incidents. The areas can usually be insulated with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks fromthe NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.

TRUNKTrunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the customer.In addition check for the following items:

1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together4. A loose license plate or bracketMost of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing, or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-ing the noise.

SUNROOF/HEADLININGNoises in the sunroof / headlining area can often be traced to one of the following items:1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage, or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeakingAgain, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of theseincidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.

SEATSWhen isolating seat noise it is important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seatwhen the noise occurs. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of thenoise.Causes of seat noise include:1. Headrest rods and holder2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame3. The rear seatback lock and bracketThese 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 componentor applying urethane tape to the contact area.

UNDERHOODSome interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is thentransmitted into the passenger compartment.Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:1. Any component mounted to the engine wall2. Components that pass through the engine wall3. Engine wall mounts and connectors4. Loose radiator mounting pins5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment6. Hood striker out of adjustmentThese noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The bestmethod is to secure, move, or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPMor load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, orinsulating the component causing the noise.

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004249710

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004249711

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precaution for Battery Service INFOID:0000000004688908

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, thewindow slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automaticwindow function will not work with the battery disconnected.

Handling for Adhesive and Primer INFOID:0000000004249712

• Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable date. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months afterthe date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.

• Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.• Open the seal of the primer and adhesive just before application. Discard the remainder.

cured (approximately 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.WARNING:• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Never

let them come in contact with the skin and eyes.• Use in an open, well ventilated location. Never breathe the vapors. They may be harmful if inhaled.

Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive is completely cured may affect the performance

of the rear window in case of an accident.CAUTION:• Never use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six

months after the date of manufacture. Adhere carefully to the expiration or manufacture dateprinted on the box.

• Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.• Never leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.• The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive is completely

cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time increasesunder lower temperature and lower humidity.

Inspection INFOID:0000000004498896

REPAIRING WATER LEAKAGE FOR REAR WINDOW GLASSLeakage can be repaired without removing the glass.Determine the extent of leakage if water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass.This can be done by applying water to the rear window glass area while pushing glass outward.Apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leakage point to stop the leakage.

System Diagram INFOID:0000000004651656

System Description INFOID:0000000004651657

REFRIGERANT CYCLE

Refrigerant FlowThe refrigerant flows from the compressor, through the condenser with liquid tank, through the evaporator, andback to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation in the evaporator is controlled by an externally equalizedexpansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

Freeze ProtectionTo prevent evaporator from freezing up, the evaporator air temperature is monitored, and the voltage signal tothe unified meter and A/C amp. makes the A/C relay go OFF and stop the compressor.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PROTECTION

Refrigerant Pressure SensorThe refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-sor, located on the liquid tank. The refrigerant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant lineand sends the voltage signal to the ECM if the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications.ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure sidedetected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over approximately 3,119 kPa (31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi), or belowapproximately 118 kPa (1.2 kg/cm2, 17 psi).

Pressure Relief ValveThe refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.The release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the atmospherewhen the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,800 kPa (38.8 kg/cm2, 551 psi)].

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004703537

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp Service INFOID:0000000004703552

WARNING:Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-

ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltagegenerated parts.

• Never work with wet hands.• Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon

headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side connector.(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual impairments.)

• Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It is extremely hot. CAUTION:Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-

tor, the housing, etc. by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.• Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil and grease on it.• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it. • Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).

Working with HFC-134a (R-134a) INFOID:0000000004653049

CAUTION:• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-

function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-ant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.

• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-lowing handling precautions must be observed:

- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere whenremoving refrigerant components from a vehicle.

- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible tominimize the entry of moisture into system.

- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.

- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANTTake appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified ina vehicle:• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into

the atmosphere.• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-

ply.• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may

have occurred.• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never

recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerantmust be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of allrefrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-tomer Affairs for further assistance.

General Refrigerant Precaution INFOID:0000000004653050

WARNING:• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and

throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meetingrequirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)recovery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system dischargeoccurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricantmanufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or airconditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm

pail of water if container warming is required.• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-

cation.• Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-

tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may causeinjury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-ant manufacturers.

WARNING:Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system isless than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.CAUTION:Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure

to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.

Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal

caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.• Replace always used O-rings.• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to

apply lubricant to threaded portion.

• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.• Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is

installed to tube correctly.• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.

Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tightenconnections of seal seat to the specified torque.

RHA861F

HA-17Revision: 2009 October 2009 G37 Coupe

Page 41: infiniti G37-09-Coupe4

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatiblewith the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pumpinto the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switchedOFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-to-pump connection, as per the following.• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump

end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate thehose from the pump.

• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automaticshut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is openand lubricating oil may migrate.

Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and closeunder no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump’sability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SETBe certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Besure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerantHFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

SERVICE HOSESBe certain that the service hoses display the markings described(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must equip positive shut-off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hosesopposite to the manifold gauge.

LEAK DETECTION DYE

General Precautions INFOID:0000000004653089

CAUTION:• The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leakages. An

ultraviolet (UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leakages.• Wear always fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect eyes and enhance the visibility of

the fluorescent dye.• The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).

The fluorescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electrical leak detector(SST: J-41995) to pin-point refrigerant leakages.

• Read and follow all manufacture’s operating instructions and precautions prior to performing thework for the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction.

• A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be repaired because of dye seepage. The compres-sor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leakage with an electrical leak detector(SST: J-41995).

• Remove always any remaining dye from the leakage area after repairs are completed to avoid a mis-diagnosis during a future service.

• Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. Clean imme-diately with the approved dye cleaner if dye is spilled. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for anextended period of time cannot be removed.

• Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).• Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] per A/C system.• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use

HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system, or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detectiondye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.

• The fluorescent properties of the dye remains for three or more years unless a compressor malfunc-tion occurs.

IDENTIFICATIONNOTE:Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.

IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLEVehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have the identification label on the front side of hood.

Refrigerant Leakages INFOID:0000000004653103

Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricantleakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allowextra inspection time in these areas when using either an electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leakdetector [refrigerant dye leak detection kit (SST: J-43926)].Confirm the leakage with an electrical leak detector if dye is observed. It is possible a prior leakage wasrepaired and not properly cleaned.Do not stop when one leakage is found but continue checking for additional leakages at all system compo-nents and connections when searching for leakages.Move the probe along the suspected leakage area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inchfrom the component when searching for refrigerant leakages using an electrical leak detector.CAUTION:Moving the electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leakage area improvesthe chances of finding a leakage.

FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR

Inspection INFOID:0000000004653104

CHECKING SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGES USING THE FLUORESCENT LEAK DETECTOR1. Check A/C system for leakages using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight

area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye appears asa bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leakage.

2. Use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residueif the suspected area is difficult to see.

3. Remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis after the leak-age is repaired.

4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leakage repair with an approved electrical leak detec-tor.

NOTE:Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshieldwasher fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to bechecked are clean.Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This may also cause false readingsand may damage the detector.

DYE INJECTION(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and wasreplaced.)

1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi).2. Pour one bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (SST: J-41459).3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service valve.4. Start the engine. Then A/C switch ON.5. Inject one bottle [1/4 ounce (7.4 cc)] of fluorescent dye through the low-pressure service valve using dye

injector tool (SST: J-41459) (refer to the manufacture’s operating instructions) when the A/C operating(compressor running).

6. Disconnect the injector tool from the service valve with the engine still running.CAUTION:Be careful when replacing the A/C system or a component, pour the dye directly into the open sys-tem connection and proceed with the service procedures.

7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on theleakage size, operating conditions and location of the leakage, it may take from minutes to days for thedye to penetrate a leakage and become visible.

8. Attach a blue label if necessary.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTORUse an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995) or equivalent whenperforming a refrigerant leakage check. Ensure that the instrument iscalibrated and set properly per the operating instructions.The leak detector is a delicate device. Read the operating instruc-tions and perform any specified maintenance for using the leakdetector properly.

1. Position probe approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) away from point tobe checked.

2. Circle each fitting completely with probe when testing.

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to2 in)/sec.

CHECKING PROCEDURECheck that there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle to pre-vent inaccurate or false readings. Perform the leakage test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that theleaking refrigerant is not dispersed.1. Stop the engine.

3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) above 16°C(61°F). Recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant if less thanspecification.NOTE:Leakages may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm2, 50 psi) attemperatures below 16°C (61°F).

4. Perform the leakage test in the numerical as shown in the figure. [high-pressure side (compressor dis-charge “a” to evaporator inlet “j”) to low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose “k” to shaft seal “p”)]Clean the component to be checked and move the leakage detected probe completely around the con-nection/component.

NOTE:Check the following carefully.

Service valves• Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to

prevent leakages).• Wipe any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak detector after removing manifold

gauge set (SST: J-39183) from service valves.Cooling unit (Evaporator)

• Turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unitwith engine OFF.

• Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recommended procedurefor actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.

• Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with wateror dirt that may be in the drain hose.

5. Verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected leakage, then repeat check as out-lined above if a leak detector detects a leakage.

6. If a leakage is found, but continue checking for additional leakages at all system components.When leakages are not found, go to next step.

7. Start the engine.8. Set the A/C control as per the following:a. A/C switch: ONb. Air flow: VENT (Ventilation)

A configuration of these components is as shown in the figure below.

SYSTEM CONSTRUCTIONA small network is constructed between the unified meter and A/C amp., mode door motor, air mix doormotors and intake door motor. The unified meter and A/C amp. and motors are connected by data transmis-sion lines and motor power supply lines. The LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each doormotor.Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmittedthrough the data transmission lines connecting the unified meter and A/C amp. and each door motor.The following functions are contained in LCUs built into the mode door motor, the air mix door motors and theintake door motor.• Address• Motor opening angle signals• Data transmission• Motor stop and drive decision• Opening angle sensor (PBR function)• Comparison• Decision (Unified meter and A/C amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)

Without left and right ventilation temperature separately control system

OperationThe unified meter and A/C amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The unified meter and A/C amp.sends mode door, air mix door and intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix doormotor LCUs and intake door motor LCU.The mode door motor, air mix door motors and intake door motor read their respective signals according to theaddress signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the unified meter and A/C amp. and each ofthe motor position sensors is compared by the LCUs in each door motor with the existing decision and open-

Without left and right ventilation temperature separately control system

With left and right ventilation temperature separately control system

Transmission Data and Transmission OrderUnified meter and A/C amp. data is transmitted consecutively to each of the doors motor following the form asshown in the figure below.

START:• Initial compulsory signal is sent to each of the door motors.

ADDRESS:• Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are selected according to data-based decisions made by the

mode door motor, air mix door motors and intake door motor.• If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor

LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data have no error, doorcontrol begins.

• If an error exists, the received data are rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is basedupon the corrected opening angle data.

OPENING ANGLE:• Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.

ERROR CHECK:• In this procedure, transmitted and received data is checked for errors. Error data are then compiled. The

error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the mode door motor, the air mix door motors andthe intake door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.

- Malfunction of electrical frequency- Poor electrical connections- Signal leakage from transmission lines- Signal level fluctuation

STOP SIGNAL:• At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered

to the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

System Description INFOID:0000000004536447

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with othercontrol units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-27,"CAN System Specification Chart".

BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM

System Diagram INFOID:0000000004536454

System Description INFOID:0000000004536455

Fan speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.With pressing AUTO switch, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-ing.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Automatic ModeIn the automatic mode, the blower motor speed is calculated by the unified meter and A/C amp. based on theinput from the PBR, in-vehicle sensor, sunload sensor, intake sensor and ambient sensor.When the air flow is increased, the duty ratio of the blower motor control signal is changed at 4%/sec. to pre-vent a sudden increase in air flow.In addition to manual air flow control and the usual automatic air flow control, starting air flow control, lowwater temperature starting control and high passenger compartment temperature starting control are avail-able.

Starting Fan Speed ControlStart up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56°C (133°F), the blower does notoperate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on theambient and engine coolant temperature.In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower start delay is 150 seconds as described above. Afterthis delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above 56°C (133°F),and then the fan speed increases to the objective speed.Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The fan speed rises graduallyto the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective fanspeed).

Fan speed CompensationSunloadWhen the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower operates at low speed.The low speed varies depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the fan speed is atduty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditions, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the fan speed (duty ratio49%).

System Description INFOID:0000000004536457

Unified meter and A/C amp. controls compressor operation by ambient temperature, intake air temperatureand signal from ECM.

SYSTEM OPERATIONWhen A/C switch, AUTO switch, DEF switch is pressed or when shifting mode position D/F, unified meter andA/C amp. transmits A/C switch signal and blower fan motor switch signal to ECM, via CAN communication.ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant-pressure sen-sor signal, throttle angle, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends A/C compressor request sig-nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication.Upon receipt of A/C compressor request signal from ECM, IPDM E/R turns A/C relay ON to operate compres-sor.When sending A/C compressor request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication line, ECM simultaneouslysends A/C compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp. via CAN communication line.ECM sends A/C compressor feedback signal to unified meter and A/C amp., then, uses input A/C compressorfeedback signal to control air inlet.

Compressor Protection ControlECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure sidedetected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over approximately 3,119 kPa (31.8 kg/cm2, 452 psi), or belowapproximately 118 kPa (1.2 kg/cm2, 17 psi).

Low Temperature Protection ControlUnified meter and A/C amp. turns compressor ON or OFF as judged by a signal detected by ambient sensorand intake sensor.When ambient temperature is higher than −2°C (28°F), the compres-sor turns ON. The compressor turns OFF when ambient temperatureis lower than −5°C (23°F).

AMBIENT SENSOR

Description INFOID:0000000004536482

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Ambient SensorThe ambient sensor (1) is attached on hood lock stay assembly. Itdetects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance valuewhich is then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.

Ambient Sensor Circuit

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESSThe unified meter and A/C amp. equips a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when thetemperature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the unified meterand A/C amp. function. It only allows the unified meter and A/C amp. to recognize an ambient temperatureincrease of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds.As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases. This is because theheat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front bumper area, location of the ambient sensor.

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]SUNLOAD SENSOR

< DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS >

SUNLOAD SENSOR

Description INFOID:0000000004536490

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Sunload SensorThe sunload sensor (1) is located on the front defroster grille LH. Itdetects sunload entering through windshield by means of a photodiode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current value which isthen input into the unified meter and A/C amp.

Sunload Sensor Circuit

SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESSThe unified meter and A/C amp. also equips a processing circuit which averages the variations in detectedsunload over a period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the air temperature control system operationdue to small or quick variations in detected sunload.For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunloaddetected by the sunload sensor varies whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-ages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarilyobstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the air temperature control system operation. On theother hand, shortly after entering a long tunnel, the system recognizes the change in sunload, and the systemreacts accordingly.

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004732336

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectINFOID:0000000004536514

NOTE:• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock andcannot be turned.If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

HAC-111Revision: 2009 October 2009 G37 Coupe

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn

the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steeringwheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Battery Service INFOID:0000000004536515

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, thewindow slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automaticwindow function will not work with the battery disconnected.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004249149

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Battery Service INFOID:0000000004249150

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, thewindow slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automaticwindow function will not work with the battery disconnected.

Disconnecting Fuel Piping INFOID:0000000004250456

• Before starting work, make sure that no fire or spark producing items are in the work area. • Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.

Removal and Disassembly INFOID:0000000004250457

• When instructed to use SST, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, and avoid forceful oruninstructed operations.

• Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.• Dowel pins are used for the alignment of several parts. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel

pins, make sure that dowel pins are installed in the original position.• Cover openings of engine system with tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and reassembly.• When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally

opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be usedin the step.

Inspection, Repair and Replacement INFOID:0000000004250458

Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, andreplace if necessary.

Assembly and Installation INFOID:0000000004250459

• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the

ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,do exactly as specified.

• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for

any restriction and blockage.

Inspection and Adjustment INFOID:0000000004250474

INSPECTION

Check valve clearance if applicable to the following cases:

Intake side:• At the removal and installation of VVEL ladder assembly or valve-related parts, or at the occurrence of mal-

function (poor starting, idle malfunction, unusual noise) due to aged deterioration in valve clearance.CAUTION:Valve clearance check on the intake side is not required after replacing the VVEL ladder assembly andcylinder head assembly with a new one. (Install new VVEL ladder assembly and cylinder head assem-bly in factory-shipped condition because it is factory-adjusted and inspected.)NOTE:VVEL ladder assembly cannot be replaced as a single part, because it is machined together with cylinderhead assembly.

Exhaust side:• At the removal, installation, and replacement of camshaft (EXH) or valve-related parts, or at the occurrence

of malfunction (poor starting, idle malfunction, unusual noise) due to aged deterioration in valve clearance.

1. Remove rocker covers (bank 1 and bank 2). Refer to EM-47, "Removal and Installation".2. Measure the valve clearance as follows:

• Use the feeler gauge (commercial service tool) of curved-tip. This allows the feeler gauge to access theclearance between camshaft and valve lifter with ease.

NOTE:Be sure to note the following points when measuring valve clearance on the intake side.• Before measuring, check that the position of drive shaft nose

is within the angle shown in the figure.

• Refer to the illustration for the insertion direction of the feelergauge since the direction depends on the bank.

1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-614, "Inspection".3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse (1) from IPDM E/R (2) to avoid fuel

injection during measurement.

4. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-25, "Exploded View".5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-47, "Exploded View".6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).7. Install compression gauge with an adapter (commercial service

tool) onto spark plug hole.

• Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plughole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, itmay be caught by cylinder head during removal.

8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gaugepointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check eachcylinder.

CAUTION:• Measure a six-cylinder under the same conditions since a measurement depends on measure-

ment conditions (engine water temperature, etc.).• Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the

engine speed again with normal battery gravity.

COMPRESSION PRESSURE

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

• If compression pressure is below the minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated withcombustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder headgasket). After checking, measure compression pressure again.

• If a cylinder has low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole ofthe cylinder to recheck it for compression.

- If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-ton rings and replace if necessary.

- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.

• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remainslow even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-inder head gaskets.

9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.10. Start the engine, and check that the engine runs smoothly.11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-137, "Description".

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Timing ChainCheck for cracks and any excessive wear at link plates and rollerlinks of timing chain. Replace timing chain if necessary.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Inspection for Leakage

The following are procedures for checking fluid leakage, lubricant leakage.• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the

required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,

check for fuel leakage at connection points.- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate apounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Thenoise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil andengine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

5. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from intake valve timing control solenoidvalve oil hole of the cylinder head.• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to EM-50, "Exploded View".• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-2,

"Engine Lubrication System".6. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),

and then check each oil groove for clogging.• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-2, "Engine Lubrication System".

7. After inspection, install removed parts in the reverse order.

Inspection for Leakage

The following are procedures for checking fluid leakage, lubricant leakage.• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the

required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,

check for fuel leakage at connection points.- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate apounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Thenoise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil andengine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to

the specified level, if necessary.

< UNIT DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY >• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the

required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,

check for fuel leakage at connection points.- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate apounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Thenoise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil andengine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to

the specified level, if necessary.

REMOVAL• Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.• Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:- Using heated oxygen sensor wrench [SST: KV10114400 (J-

38365)] (C), removal heated oxygen sensor 2.

CAUTION:Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.

INSTALLATIONNote the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.• Check for deformation of the grommets (14 and 16 of Components).• Insert the collar (13 of Components) vertically.• Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified

torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.CAUTION:• Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.• Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a con-

crete floor. Use a new one. • Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust system threads using the heated oxy-

gen sensor thread cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply the anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

• Never over torque heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor 2,resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

• If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heatinsulator, remove them.

• When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and eachexhaust pipe.

• Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoidgases leakage.

• Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehicleside. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

• When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/leftdirections.

Inspection INFOID:0000000004251116

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION• Check clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.• With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.• Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue

stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEWInterview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any ofcustomer's comments; refer to EXT-7, "Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate theconditions that exist when the noise occurs.• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain

all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, perform a diagnosis and repair the noise that the customer is

concerned about. This can be accomplished by performing a cruise test on the vehicle with the customer.• After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics

are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language whendefining the noise.

• Squeak – (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping

• Creak – (Like walking on an old wooden floor)Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-dent on materials/often brought on by activity.

• Rattle – (Like shaking a baby rattle)Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missingclip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

• Knock – (Like a knock on a door)Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

• Tick – (Like a clock second hand)Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driveraction or road conditions.

• Thump – (Heavy, muffled knock noise)Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

• Buzz – (Like a bumblebee)Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

• Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending up on the person. A noise that a technicianmay judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

• Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information onthe Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used toduplicate 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 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 BULLETINSAfter verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relatedto 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 CAUSE1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool

(Chassis ear: J-39570, Engine ear and 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 brokenor 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 thenoise.

• Placing a piece of paper between components that are suspected to be the cause of the noise.• Looking for loose components and contact marks.

Refer to EXT-5, "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. A Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through the authorized Nissan PartsDepartment.

CAUTION:Never 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.The following materials are contained in the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can beordered separately as needed.URETHANE PADS [1.5 mm (0.059 in) thick]Insulates connectors, harness, etc.• 76268-9E005: 100 × 135 mm (3.937 × 5.315 in)• 76884-71L01: 60 × 85 mm (2.362 × 3.346 in)• 76884-71L02:15 × 25 mm (0.591 × 0.984 in)INSULATOR (Foam blocks)Insulates components from contact.

CONFIRM THE REPAIRConfirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the sameconditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.

Inspection Procedure INFOID:0000000004678285

Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.

INSTRUMENT PANELMost incidents are caused by contact and movement between:1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish4. Instrument panel to windshield5. Instrument panel mounting pins6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint

These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or bypressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired byapplying felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulatewiring harness.CAUTION:Never use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If the area is saturated with silicone, therecheck of repair becomes impossible.

CENTER CONSOLEComponents to pay attention to include:1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unitThe instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.

DOORSPay attention to the following:1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher3. Wiring harnesses tapping4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stopsTapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolatemany of these incidents. The areas can usually be insulated with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks fromthe Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.

TRUNKTrunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the customer.In addition look for the following:1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment

EXT-5Revision: 2009 October 2009 G37 Coupe

Page 377: infiniti G37-09-Coupe4

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together4. A loose license plate or bracketMost of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-ing the noise.

SUNROOF/HEADLININGNoises 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 noise2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeakingAgain, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of theseincidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.

SEATSWhen isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seats in and the load placed on the seat whenthe 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 holder2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame3. The rear seatback lock and bracketThese 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 componentor applying urethane tape to the contact area.

UNDERHOODSome interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is thentransmitted into the passenger compartment.Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:1. Any component mounted to the engine wall2. Components that pass through the engine wall3. Engine wall mounts and connectors4. Loose radiator mounting pins5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment6. Hood striker out of adjustmentThese noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The bestmethod is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPMor load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, orinsulating the component causing the noise.

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004249853

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectINFOID:0000000004249854

NOTE:• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock andcannot be turned.If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

EXT-9Revision: 2009 October 2009 G37 Coupe

Page 381: infiniti G37-09-Coupe4

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn

the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steeringwheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Battery Service INFOID:0000000004678292

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, thewindow slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automaticwindow function will not work with the battery disconnected.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004249855

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precaution for Work INFOID:0000000004249856

• After removing and installing the opening/closing parts, be sure to carry out fitting adjustments to check theiroperation.

• Check the lubrication level, damage, and wear of each part. If necessary, grease or replace it.

< PRECAUTION >

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004679102

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectINFOID:0000000004679103

NOTE:• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock andcannot be turned.If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004679106

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precautions for Drive Shaft INFOID:0000000004670028

• Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.• Never disassemble joint sub-assembly because it is non-overhaul parts.• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.• Clean the parts, before disassembling and assembling.• Prevent the entry of foreign objects during disassembly of the service location.• Reassemble disassembled parts carefully in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be

placed over parts.• Use paper waste. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering to parts.• Clean disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) with kerosene which shall be removed by blowing with

air or wiping with paper waste.

During normal operation, thewindow slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automaticwindow function will not work with the battery disconnected.

General Precautions INFOID:0000000004251096

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. • Never 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-31, "Fuel".• Before removing fuel line parts, perform 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-614, "Inspection".- Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. • Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.• Never kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.• Never tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses. • After installing tubes, check 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 leakage at connections.- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leakage at connections.• 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-86, "Component Parts Location".• For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)” parts, refer to EC-513, "Description".

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004679096

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectINFOID:0000000004679098

NOTE:• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock andcannot be turned.If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turnthe push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steeringwheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004679101

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precautions for Suspension INFOID:0000000004670202

• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tireson ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools andmats are in designated positions.

• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,

tighten as they are.

[2WD]WHEEL ALIGNMENT

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection INFOID:0000000004670206

DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.• If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts

for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.• Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.• Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. NOTE:“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools andmats are in designated positions.

GENENRAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS• A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.- This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is

centered.- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.• Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.- Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-

ule.

ALIGNMENT PROCESSIMPORTANT:Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or

minus, Go/No Go). Never use these indicators.- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-

rect.- This may result in an ERROR.• Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an “optional Rolling Compensation” method to “com-

pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Never use this “Rolling Compensation” method.- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-

cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.

PRELIMINARY CHECKCheck the following:• Tires for improper air pressure and wear.• Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-95, "Inspection".• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-5, "Inspection".• Transverse link or upper link ball joint axial end play. Refer to FSU-23, "Ball Joint", FSU-18, "Inspection".• Shock absorber operation.• Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.• Each of suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deformation and

other damage.• Vehicle height (posture).

PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004679097

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectINFOID:0000000004679099

NOTE:• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock andcannot be turned.If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE1. Connect both battery cables.

NOTE:Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turnthe push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steeringwheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000004679100

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precautions for Suspension INFOID:0000000004670177

• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tireson ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.

- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools andmats are in designated positions.

• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,

tighten as they are.

[AWD]WHEEL ALIGNMENT

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection INFOID:0000000004670181

DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.• If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts

for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.• Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.• Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. NOTE:“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools andmats are in designated positions.

GENENRAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS• A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.- This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is

centered.- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.• Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.- Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-

ule.

ALIGNMENT PROCESSIMPORTANT:Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or

minus, Go/No Go). Never use these indicators.- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-

rect.- This may result in an ERROR.• Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-

pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Never use this “Rolling Compensation” method.- Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the vehi-

cle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.- See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.

Description INFOID:0000000004257264

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are notdescribed in each individual section.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000004684853

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair 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 AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of thisService Manual.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 byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possiblycausing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp Service INFOID:0000000004257266

WARNING:Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-

ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltagegenerated parts.

• Never work with wet hands.• Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon

headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side connector.(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual impairments.)

• Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It is extremely hot. CAUTION:Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-

tor, the housing, etc. by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.• Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil and grease on it.• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it. • Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).

PRECAUTIONS

< PRECAUTION >

General Precautions INFOID:0000000004257270

• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time withoutproper exhaust ventilation.Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammablematerials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflam-mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to prop-erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tireblocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands atthe points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-cle.These operations should be done on a level surface.

• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and dropthem. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especiallythe brake tubes and master cylinder.

• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:Turn off ignition switch.Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory ofradio and each control unit is erased.

• To prevent serious burns:Avoid contact with hot metal parts.Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

• Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in anappropriate manner.

• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzleshuts off automatically.Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel sprayand possibly a fire.

• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solventprior to inspection or assembly.

• Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.

• Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.• Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.• Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).

Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.• After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.• Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.• Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

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 disposalfacilities.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 Conditioning INFOID:0000000004257275

Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer toHA section “REFRIGERANT” for specific instructions.

Fuel INFOID:0000000004257276

INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87AKI number (Research octane number 91), may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:• Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gas-

oline as soon as possible.• Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.

CAUTION:Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affectthe emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS• Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the connector dur-

ing circuit checks.• The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the connector cavity. To correctly probe the

connector, follow the procedures below using a “T” pin. For the best contact grasp the “T” pin using an alliga-tor clip.

Probing from Harness Side Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probedfrom harness side with “T” pin.• If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector,

remove the rear cover before probing the terminal.• Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to

the seal between wire and connector may result.

Probing from Terminal Side

FEMALE TERMINAL• There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each

terminal with the “T” pin through the notch.Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminalinto female terminal.

can be easily inserted or not.

• If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female ter-minal, replace the female terminal.

Waterproof Connector Inspection If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.

RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION• Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal

between the male and female connectors. If the seal is missing,the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.

• The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected.Whenever connectors are reconnected, make sure the rubber sealis properly installed on either side of male or female connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION• The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a

waterproof connector. Be sure that the seal is installed properly.

Terminal Lock Inspection Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector.An unlocked terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT

< BASIC INSPECTION >lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences anelectrical incident.

The section is broken into the six following topics:• Vehicle vibration• Heat sensitive• Freezing• Water intrusion• Electrical load• Cold or hot start upGet a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of theproblem.

VEHICLE VIBRATIONThe problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle withA/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustra-tion.

Connector & HarnessDetermine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gentlyshake 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.

HintConnectors 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 theterminals on related connectors in the system.

Sensor & RelayGently 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 CompartmentThere are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of thethings 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 GroundInspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded. Then check for loose connectionby gently shaking the wiring or components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect thewiring for continuity.

Behind the Instrument PanelAn 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.

GAn 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 orpinching.

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 aheat sensitive condition.

• To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat thecomponent 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 properlyinsulate the component.

FREEZING • The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car

warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freez-ing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.

• There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange forthe owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get coldenough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-side overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosisof those electrical components which could be affected.

• The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezerlong enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the carand check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair orreplace the component.

WATER INTRUSIONThe incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowyweather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the caror running it through a car wash.CAUTION:Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

ELECTRICAL LOAD The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis withall accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, foglamps) turned on.

COLD OR HOT START UP On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur whenthe car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight tomake a proper diagnosis.

Circuit Inspection INFOID:0000000004257286

DESCRIPTION • In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method.

Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a thor-ough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and followthe correct test procedure.

• You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiringharness or electrical component to do this.

NOTE:Refer to GI-38, "How to Check Terminal" to probe or check terminal.

TESTING FOR “OPENS” IN THE CIRCUITBefore you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the system. Thiswill help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will also reinforce your work-ing knowledge of the system.

Continuity Check MethodThe continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the resistancefunction will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol). Make sure to always startwith the DMM at the highest resistance level. To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.• Disconnect the battery negative cable.• Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this example)• Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.• Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate that por-

tion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an overlimit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)

• Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the circuithas good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infinite resis-tance condition. (point B)

• Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of thecircuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infi-nite resistance condition. (point C)

Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.

Voltage Check MethodTo help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic.In any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence of voltage.This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.• Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.• Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.• With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage.

voltage; open is further down the circuit than SW1.

OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit.

SHORT

There are two types of shorts.

• SHORT CIRCUITWhen a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the normal resistance to change.

• SHORT TO GROUND When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the circuit.

nected) powered through the fuse.• Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of the fuse ter-

minal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).• With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.

• With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check forvoltage.voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).no voltage; short is further down the circuit than the relay.

• With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage.voltage; short is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C).no voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.

GROUND INSPECTION • Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground

connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) canbecome an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.

• Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground candrastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit.Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.

SGI847-A

GI-45Revision: 2009 October 2009 G37 Coupe

Page 554: infiniti G37-09-Coupe4

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT

< BASIC INSPECTION >• When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:- Remove the ground bolt or screw.- Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.- Clean as required to assure good contact.- Reinstall bolt or screw securely.- Inspect for “add-on” accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.- If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the

wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in one eye-let make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.

• For detailed ground distribution information, refer to “Ground Distribution” in PG section.

VOLTAGE DROP TESTS • Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage

drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.• Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand of wire

will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates, this single strandof wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high resistance to the current. This willbe picked up as a slight voltage drop.

• Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:- Undersized wiring (single strand example)- Corrosion on switch contacts- Loose wire connections or splices.• If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

Measuring Voltage Drop — Accumulated Method• Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead of the

DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.• Operate the circuit.• The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to “push” current through that part of the circuit.

GNote in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.

Measuring Voltage Drop — Step-by-Step• The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such as those

in “Computer Controlled Systems”).• Circuits in the “Computer Controlled System” operate on very low amperage.• The (Computer Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the

system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation, improper wiregauge or corrosion.

• The step by step voltage drop test can identify a component or wire with too much resistance.
