< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >

[MONOCHROME DISPLAY - W/ BOSE]

AUDIO SYSTEM

• Before performing diagnosis, confirm that the cellular phone being used by the customer is compatible with

the vehicle.

• It is possible that a malfunction is occurring due to a version change of the phone even though the phone is

a compatible type. This can be confirmed by changing the cellular phone to another compatible type, and

check that it operates normally. It is important to determine whether the cause of the malfunction is the vehi-

cle or the cellular phone.

Check Compatibility

1. Make sure the customer’s Bluetooth

®

 related concern is understood.

2. Verify the customer’s concern.

NOTE:

The customer’s phone may be required, depending upon their concern.

3. Write down the customer’s phone brand, model and service provider.

NOTE:

It is necessary to know the service provider. On occasion, a given phone may be on the approved list with

one provider, but may not be on the approved list with other providers.

4. Go to “www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/”.
a. Using the website’s search engine, find out if the customer’s phone is on the approved list.
b. If the customer’s phone is NOT on the approved list:

Stop diagnosis here. The customer needs to obtain a Bluetooth

®

 phone that is on the approved list before

any further action.

c.

If the feature related to the customer’s concern shows as “N” (not compatible):

Stop diagnosis here. If the customer still wants the feature to function, they will need to get an approved

phone showing the feature as “Y” (compatible) in the “Basic Features”.

d. If the feature related to the customer’s concern shows as “Y” (compatible):

Perform diagnosis as per the following table.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000009471256

The majority of the audio concerns are the result of outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,

etc.).

NOISE

The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or

external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.

• Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-

tains or buildings blocking the signal.

• Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the

antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.

The vehicle itself can be a source of noise, if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment are malfunctioning.

Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-

tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.

NOTE:

The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical

components, one by one.

Type of Noise and Possible Cause

RELATED TO HANDS-FREE PHONE

Occurrence condition

Possible cause

Occurs only when engine is ON.

A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of 
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.

• Ignition components

The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.

• Fuel pump condenser

Noise only occurs when various 
electrical components are oper-
ating.

A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the op-
eration of various switches.

• Relay malfunction, audio unit malfunction

The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.

• Motor case ground
• Motor

The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.

• Rear defogger coil malfunction
• Open circuit in printed heater
• Poor ground of antenna feeder line

A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially when 
it is vibrating excessively.

• Ground wire of body parts
• Ground due to improper part installation
• Wiring connections or a short circuit

Symptom

Cause and Counter measure

Does not recognize cellular phone connection (No connection is 
displayed on the display at the guide).

Some Bluetooth

®

 enabled cellular phones may not be recognized 

by the in-vehicle phone module.
Refer to “RELATED TO HANDS-FREE PHONE (Check Compati-
bility)” in 

AV-153, "Symptom Table"

.

Cannot use hands-free phone.

Customer will not be able to use a hands-free phone under the fol-
lowing conditions:
• The vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
• The vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio 

waves; such as in a tunnel, in an underground parking garage, 
near a tall building or in a mountainous area.

• The cellular phone is locked to prevent it from being dialed.
NOTE:
While a cellular phone is connected through the Bluetooth

®

 wire-

less connection, the battery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth

®

 Hands-Free Phone 

System cannot charge cellular phones.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

The other party’s voice cannot be heard by hands-free phone.

When the radio wave condition is not ideal or ambient sound is too 
loud, it may be difficult to hear the other person’s voice during a 
call.

Poor sound quality.

Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by metal or 
far away from the in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone quality 
degradation and wireless connection disruption.

PRECAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000010135272

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along

with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain

types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS

system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front

air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-

ual.

WARNING:

• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by

an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal

injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag

Module, see the SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-

ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion 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), possibly causing

serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the

battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Work

INFOID:0000000009471258

• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component

may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.

• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component

with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.

• Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.

• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.

• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.

• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.

• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.

• Follow the steps below to clean components:

- Water soluble dirt:

• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.

• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.

- Oily  dirt:

• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty

area.

• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.

• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.

- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.

- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.
