PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EIS0027P

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
● To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for work EIS0027Q

● After removing and installing the opening/closing parts, be sure to carry out fitting adjustments to check
their operation.
● Check the lubrication level, damage, and wear of each part. If necessary, grease or replace it.
Wiring Diagnosis and Trouble Diagnosis EIS0027R

When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:


● GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams"
● PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT"
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:
● GI-11, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES"
● GI-27, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident"
Check for any Service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.

SBT842

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview 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
customer's comments; refer to GW-9, "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 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, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by 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/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces = 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
dependent 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/missing
clip 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 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 depending upon the person. A noise that you may
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

DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE


If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on A
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair.
If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli- B
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. C
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle “twist”.
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half-clutch on M/T model, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer. D
● 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. E
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom. F
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
G
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: J-39565 and mechanic's stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:
H
● removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.
Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fasteners can be bro-
ken or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.
BL
● tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only
temporarily.
● feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing the J
noise.
● placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect are causing the noise.
● looking for loose components and contact marks. K
Refer to GW-7, "Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE L
● 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. M
– 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 your authorized NISSAN
Parts Department.
CAUTION:
Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
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 be
ordered separately as needed.

Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting EIS003OK

Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.

Revision: January 2005 BL-8 2004 Pathfinder Armada


SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner. A
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment B
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
C
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING D
Noises 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 noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder E
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape. F
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the console panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
G
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the console at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
H
2. Front console map/reading lamp lense loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS BL
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise. J
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame K
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component L
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then M
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

Revision: January 2005 BL-39 2004 Pathfinder Armada


REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

OPERATED PROCEDURE
● When the keyfob is operated, the signal from the keyfob is sent and the remote keyless entry receiver
receives the signal and sends it to the BCM. The BCM only locks/unlocks the doors if the ID number
matches. (Remote control entry functions)
● Using the keyfob, the transmitter sends radio waves to the remote keyless entry receiver, which then
sends the received waves to the BCM. Only if the ID number matches does the BCM lock/unlock the
doors. (Remote control door function)
● Unless the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder or one of the doors is opened within 1 minute after
the UNLOCK switch on the keyfob is pressed, all the doors are automatically locked. (Auto lock function)
● When a door is locked or unlocked, the vehicle turn signal lamps flash and the horn sounds to verify oper-
ation. (Active check function)
● When the key is in the ignition key cylinder (when the key switch is ON) and one of the doors is open, the
door lock function does not work even when the door lock is operated with the keyfob.
● Keyfob ID set up is available.
● If a keyfob is lost, a new keyfob can be set up. A maximum of 5 IDs can be set up simultaneously.
Remote Control Entry Functions
Operation Description
● When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the keyless
remote entry receiver.
● The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
● If the ID number matches, the BCM uses communication to send the lock/unlock signal to each door lock
actuator.
● When the door lock actuators receive this communication, each operates to lock/unlock its door.
Remote control entry operation conditions
Keyfob operation Operation condition
● With key removed (key switch: OFF)
Door lock operation (locking)
● Closing all doors (door switch: OFF)
Door lock operation (unlocking) With key removed (key switch: OFF)

Auto Lock Function


Operation Description
● Unless the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder, one of the doors is opened, or the keyfob is oper-
ated within 1 minute after a door lock is unlocked by keyfob operation, all the doors are automatically
locked.
The 1 minute timer count is executed by the BCM and after 1 minute, the BCM sends the lock signal to all
doors.
Lock operations are the same as for the remote control entry function.
Remote Control Automatic Back Door Function (Vehicles With Automatic Back Door System)
Switching from all closed to all open
● When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.
● The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
● If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
open signal to the back door control unit
● When the back door control unit receives the back door open signal for 0.5 continuous seconds, if the
remote control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded
and the back door unlock signal is sent to the back door latch using communication.
● When the back door latch receives the back door unlock signal, it operates the release actuator and
releases to back door latch.
● The back door control unit operates the back door motor to open the back door. (At this time, speed con-
trol, input reverse, and overload reverse control are executed.)
● When the back door is opened to the fully open position, the full-open position is detected with the rotation
sensor, the back door motor is stopped.

Revision: January 2005 BL-40 2004 Pathfinder Armada


REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

● The door held by the back door stays at the full open position.
Full open → full closed operation A
● When a button of the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.
● The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number. B
● If the ID number matches, the BCM uses communication to send the back door close request signal to the
back door control unit.
● When the back door control unit receives the back door close request signal for 0.5 continuous seconds, if C
the remote control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is
sounded and the back door motor begins closing the back door.
● The back door control unit operates the magnetic clutch and the back door motor to close the back door. D
(At this time, the back door control unit executes speed control, input reverse, and overload reverse con-
trol.)
● When the back door comes to the half-latch state, the back door latch detects the half-latch state through E
half-latch switch operation. The back door latch latches the back door.
For the automatic back door system operation enable conditions, refer to BL-89, "AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR
SYSTEM" . F
Active Check Function
Operation Description
When a door is locked or unlocked by keyfob operation, the vehicle turn signals flash and the horn sounds to G
verify operation.
● When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the remote controller and received by the
keyless remote entry receiver. H
● The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.
● If the ID number matches, the BCM uses communication to send the turn signal flashing and horn signal
to the IPDM E/R. BL
● The IPDM E/R flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn for each keyfob operation.

Interior Lamp Operation
When the following input signals are both supplied:
● all door switches are in the OFF position. (when all the doors are closed);
● interior lamp switch is in DOOR position.
Remote keyless entry system turns on interior lamp and ignition illumination (for 30 seconds) with input of
UNLOCK signal from keyfob.
For detailed description, refer to LT-126, "ROOM LAMP TIMER OPERATION" .
Panic Alarm Operation
When key switch is OFF (when ignition key is not inserted in key cylinder), remote keyless entry system turns
on and off horn and headlamp intermittently with input of PANIC ALARM signal from keyfob.

Revision: January 2005 BL-41 2004 Pathfinder Armada


REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from keyfob.
Keyless Power Window Down (open) Operation
When keyfob unlock switch is turned ON with ignition switch OFF, and the switch is detected to be on continu-
ously for 3 seconds, the driver's door and passenger's door power windows are simultaneously opened.
Power window is operated to open and the operation continues as long as the keyfob unlock switch is
pressed.

DESCRIPTION
Operation Flow

PIIA1367E

Setting the vehicle security system


Initial condition
● Ignition switch is in OFF position.
Disarmed phase
● When the vehicle is being driven or when doors or trunk lid is open, the vehicle security system is set in
the disarmed phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-armed phase and armed phase
● The vehicle security system turns into the "pre-armed" phase when all doors are closed and locked by
electronic key. The security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds. then, the system automatically
shifts into the "armed" phase.
Canceling the set vehicle security system
When one of the following operations is performed, the armed phase is canceled.
1. Unlock the doors with the key or the keyfob.
2. Open the trunk lid with the key or the keyfob. When the trunk lid is closed after opening the trunk lid with
the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.
Activating the alarm operation of the vehicle security system
Make sure the system is in the armed phase.
When one of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the head-lamps
for about 50 seconds.
1. Engine hood or any door is opened before unlocking door with key or keyfob.
2. Door is unlocked without using key or keyfob.
3. Trunk lid is opened without using key or keyfob.

door lock/unlock switch RH or the rear power window switch LH or RH. H
When the back door is open, BCM terminal 43 receives a ground signal
● from terminal 3 of the back door switch
● through body grounds B117 and B132. BL
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ALARM OPERATION
The vehicle security system is triggered by
J
● opening a door
● opening the glass hatch
● unlocking door without using the key or keyfob. K
The vehicle security system will be triggered once the system is in armed phase,
● when BCM receives a ground signal at terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 (door switch), or terminal 43 (back door
switch). L
Power is supplied at all times
● to horn relay terminal 2
● through 15A fuse (No. 25, located in fuse and fusible link box). M
When the vehicle security system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently
● from IPDM E/R terminal 45
● to headlamp high relay and
● to horn relay terminal 1.
The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 50 seconds, but will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door must be unlocked with the key or keyfob.
When the key is used to unlock a door, BCM terminal 22 receives signal
● from terminal 14 of the main power window and door lock/unlock switch.
When the BCM receives either one of these signals or unlock signal from keyfob or key cylinder switch, the
vehicle security system is deactivated. (Disarmed phase)

System Description EIS003NY

The automatic back door system consists of a one piece unit that combines the back door control unit along
with the back door motor, back door clutch and the back door encoder. The back door latch contains a lock
function that can control the two functions of automatic back door latch closure and electrical opener with a
single motor when you close the back door to the halfway-state.
● Back door auto closure
When the back door is closed to the halfway state (half-latch) position, the motor automatically drives to
rotate the latch lever and pull it in from half latched to full latched.
● Power back door
With the back door closed, if you press the power liftgate switch or press the remote keyless entry button,
or pull the back door handle with the back door unlocked, the back door latch motor drives the open the
locking plate and releases the latch. The back door motor then raises the door to the full open position.
With the back door fully open, if you press the power liftgate switch, remote keyless entry button or the
back door close switch, the back door motor closes the door to the half-latch state. The back door latch
motor then drives the latch to the full close position.

Revision: January 2005 BL-89 2004 Pathfinder Armada

AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR SYSTEM

Back Door Close Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)
● When the back door close switch is pressed, the back door control unit terminal 8 receives the signal.
● The back door control units checks back door close switch (terminal 13) status and door position (must be
fully opened), through rotary encoder and battery voltage.
● When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.
● The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)
● When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half-latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.
● When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.
● When the back door latch operates and full close is detected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door auto closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Reversal
● If the power liftgate switch, remote keyless entry switch or the back door close switch is pressed during
back door power open and close operation, the back door will reverse direction.
● If the outside handle switch is pulled during power open or power close, the power back door will automat-
ically stop and go to manual mode.
Anti-Pinch Function
● During auto open or close operation, if an object is detected in the door's path, the back door operates in
the reverse direction until fully closed or open to prevent pinching.
● During auto close operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back door
operates in the open direction until it is fully open.
● During auto cinch latch operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back
door operates depending on the back door close switch position. If the back door close switch is in the
OFF position, the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open. If the back door close
switch is in the ON position, the back door will reverse only until the latch is fully released.
● If the pinch strips are present but are not functioning properly (permanently sensing a pinch), the auto-
matic back door system will operate in the open direction only.
● If the pinch strips are not connected to the automatic back door system, it will not operate.
Gas Stay Check
● During each power open operation, the back door control unit monitors motor current draw to determine if
the gas stays are functioning properly.
● If a failure of the gas stays is detected, the back door control unit will close the back door while sounding
the warning chime.
Warning Functions
● The warning chime is sounded according to the back door operating state, operations, and conditions.

engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without a NVIS (NATS) registered key is prevented by NVIS
(NATS).
NVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of NVIS
(NATS).
● All of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NVIS (NATS) registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the NVIS (NATS)
components.
● The security indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position. NVIS (NATS) warns out-
siders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
● When NVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition key is in the ON
position.
● NVIS (NATS) trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NVIS (NATS)
ignition key IDs must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NVIS (NATS) software.
When NVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically
NVIS (NATS) registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other NVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs
can be carried out.
Regarding the procedures of NVIS (NATS) initialization and NVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer
to CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.
● When servicing a malfunction of the NVIS (NATS) (indicated by lighting up of Security Indicator
Lamp) or registering another NVIS (NATS) ignition key ID, it may be necessary to re-register origi-
nal key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
System Composition EIS002B2

The immobilizer function of the NVIS (NATS) consists of the following:


● NATS ignition key
● NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder
● Body control module (BCM)
● Engine control module (ECM)
● Security indicator
NOTE:
The communication between ECM and BCM uses the CAN communication system.

ECM Re-communicating Function EIS002B3

A
The following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM, but only when the
ECM has been replaced with a new one which has never been energized on-board.
NOTE:
● When registering new key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-II B
Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.
● If multiple keys are attached to the key holder, separate them before work.
C
● Distinguish keys with unregistered key ID from those with registered ID.
1. Install ECM.
2. Using a registered key (*1), turn ignition switch to ON.
D
*1: To perform this step, use the key that has been used before performing ECM replacement.
3. Maintain ignition switch in ON position for at least 5 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch to OFF. E
5. Start engine.
If engine can be started, procedure is completed.
If engine cannot be started, refer to CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS and initialize control
unit. F

Corrosion Protection EIS0027W

DESCRIPTION A
To provide improved corrosion prevention, the following anti-corrosive measures have been implemented in
NISSAN production plants. When repairing or replacing body panels, it is necessary to use the same anti-cor-
rosive measures. B
ANTI-CORROSIVE PRECOATED STEEL (GALVANNEALED STEEL)
To improve repairability and corrosion resistance, a new type of anti-
corrosive precoated steel sheet has been adopted replacing conven- C
tional zinc-coated steel sheet.
Galvannealed steel is electroplated and heated to form Zinc-iron
alloy, which provides excellent and long term corrosion resistance D
with cationic electrode position primer.

PIIA0093E
F

Nissan Genuine Service Parts are fabricated from galvannealed steel. Therefore, it is recommended that
GENUINE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain the anti-corrosive perfor-
mance built into the vehicle at the factory. G

PHOSPHATE COATING TREATMENT AND CATIONIC ELECTRODEPOSITION PRIMER


A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrode position primer, which provide excellent corrosion pro- H
tection, are employed on all body components.
CAUTION:
Confine paint removal during welding operations to an absolute
BL
minimum.

PIIA0095E
L

Nissan Genuine Service Parts are also treated in the same manner. Therefore, it is recommended that GENU-
INE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corrosive performance built M
into the vehicle at the factory.

Revision: January 2005 BL-155 2004 Pathfinder Armada


BODY REPAIR

ANTI-CORROSIVE WAX
To improve corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive wax is applied inside the body sill and inside other closed sec-
tions. Accordingly, when replacing these parts, be sure to apply anti-corrosive wax to the appropriate areas of
the new parts. Select an excellent anti-corrosive wax which will penetrate after application and has a long shelf
life.

BODY REPAIR

UNDERCOATING
The underside of the floor and wheelhouse are undercoated to prevent rust, vibration, noise and stone chip- A
ping. Therefore, when such a panel is replaced or repaired, apply undercoating to that part. Use an undercoat-
ing which is rust preventive, soundproof, vibration-proof, shock-resistant, adhesive, and durable.
Precautions in undercoating B
1. Do not apply undercoating to any place unless specified (such as the areas above the muffler and three
way catalyst which are subjected to heat).
2. Do not undercoat the exhaust pipe or other parts which become hot. C
3. Do not undercoat rotating parts.
4. Apply bitumen wax after applying undercoating.

Precautions in Repairing High Strength Steel EIS00281

A
High strength steel is used for body panels in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:
HIGH STRENGTH STEEL (HSS) USED IN NISSAN VEHICLES B
Tensile strength Nissan/Infiniti designation Major applicable parts
● Front inner pillar upper
373 N/mm2 ● Front pillar hinge brace C
SP130
(38kg/mm2 ,54klb/sq in) ● Outer front pillar reinforcement
● Other reinforcements
2 D
785-981 N/mm ● Outer sill reinforcement
(80-100kg/mm2 SP150
114-142klb/sq in) ● Main back pillar

SP130 is the most commonly used HSS. E


SP150 HSS is used only on parts that require much more strength.

Read the following precautions when repairing HSS:


F
1. Additional points to consider
● The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-
ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.
When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above G
550°C (1,022°F).
Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.
(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appro- H
priate.)

BL

PIIA0115E

J
● When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any
HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause
deformation in adjacent portions of the body. In this case,
increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull K
the HSS panel.

M
PIIA0116E

● When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possi-


ble. Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas
due to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a mini-
mum margin of 50 mm (1.97in).

PIIA0117E

Revision: January 2005 BL-181 2004 Pathfinder Armada


BODY REPAIR

● When welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possi-


ble in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due to
heat.
If spot welding is impossible, use M.I.G. welding. Do not use
gas (torch) welding because it is inferior in welding strength.

PIIA0144E

● The spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordi-


nary steel panel.
Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a
low speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase
drill bit durability and facilitate the operation.
● SP150 HSS panels with a tensile strength of 785 to 981 N/
mm2 (80 to 100 kg/mm2 , 114 to 142 klb/sq in), used as rein-
forcement in the door guard beams, is too strong to repair.
When these HSS parts are damaged, the outer panels also
sustain substantial damage; therefore, the assembly parts
must be replaced. PIIA0145E

2. Precautions in spot welding HSS


This work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:
● The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according
to the metal thickness.

PIIA0146E

● The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no


gaps.

PIIA0147E

Revision: January 2005 BL-182 2004 Pathfinder Armada

● Follow the specifications for the proper welding pitch.


Unit:mm A
Thickness (t) Minimum pitch ( )
0.6 (0.024) 10 (0.39) or over
0.8 (0.031) 12 (0.47) or over B
