Work Flow

INFOID:0000000004216120

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW

Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions thatexist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-

nostic Worksheet during the interviewto document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any

customer'scomments; refer to 

GW-6, "Diagnostic Worksheet"

. This information is necessary to duplicate the

conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed descriptionor the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain

all the facts and conditionsthat exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnoseand repair the noise that the customer is

concerned about. This can be accomplishedby test driving 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 when

defining the noise.

• Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)

Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/broughton by road conditions/hard sur-

faces=higher pitch noise/softer surfaces=lowerpitch noises/edge to surface=chirping

• Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)

Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting witha 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 orsimilar movement/loose parts/missing clip

or fastener/incorrect clearance.

• Knock —(Like a knock on a door)

Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/oftenbrought on by driver action.

• Tick—(Like a clock second hand)

Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loosecomponents/can be caused by driver

action or road conditions.

• Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)

Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

• Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)

Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

• Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary dependingupon the person. A noise that you may judge

as acceptable may be very irritatingto the customer.

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

If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise isduplicated. Note any additional information on

the Diagnostic Worksheet regardingthe conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to

duplicatethe same conditions when you confirm the repair.

If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to helpidentify the source of the noise, try to dupli-

cate the noise with the vehiclestopped by doing one or all of the following:

1) Close a door.

2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears tobe 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 thecustomer states exist when the noise occurs.

• If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowlyon an undulating or rough road to stress the vehi-

cle body.

CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS

After verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for TechnicalService Bulletins (TSBs) related

to that concern or symptom.

If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair thenoise.

LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE

1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool

(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear and mechanics stethoscope).

2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the causeof the noise by:
• removing the components in the area that you suspect the noiseis coming from.

Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwiseclips and fastener can be broken or

lost during the repair, resulting in thecreation of new noise.

• tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causingthe noise.

Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwisethe noise will be eliminated only tem-

porarily.

• feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s)that you suspect is (are) causing the

noise.

• placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect arecausing the noise.

• looking for loose components and contact marks.

Refer to 

GW-4, "Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting"

.

REPAIR THE CAUSE

• If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.

• If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:

- separate components by repositioning or loosening and retighteningthe component, if possible.

- insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or urethane

tape. A Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through your authorized Nissan Parts Depart-

ment.

CAUTION:

Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.

NOTE:

Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
