SYSTEM READINESS TEST (SRT) DRIVE PATTERNS
This bulletin has been amended. Several Changes were made at "Step 7: Confirm All SRTs "COMPLETE"". Please discard all previous versions of
this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: 1996 and newer Model Years as required by State Emissions Inspections Regulations.
SERVICE INFORMATION
As part of an enhanced emissions test for Inspection & Maintenance (I/M), some States may require the System Readiness Test (SRT) status be
checked.
^ The SRT is used to indicate whether the engine control module (ECM) has completed self diagnosis of major emissions systems and components.
^ In these instances the State may require completion of the SRT before permitting the emissions inspection to proceed.
The State Emissions Inspection Station may advise a Nissan customer to return to the dealership for service due to one or more SRT items coming
up "INCOMPLETE." Use the information in this Bulletin to help you "COMPLETE" the SRT.
^ In most cases the ECM will automatically complete its self diagnosis cycle during normal vehicle usage, and the SRT status will indicate
"COMPLETE" for each applicable system.
^ Once indicating "COMPLETE", the SRT status remains "COMPLETE" until the Self Diagnosis memory is erased.
^ Occasionally, certain portions of the self diagnostic test may not be completed as a result of the customer's normal driving pattern. In these cases
the SRT will indicate "INCOMPLETE" for these items.
NOTE: The SRT will also indicate "INCOMPLETE" if:
^ The self diagnosis memory is erased for any reason, or The ECM memory power supply is interrupted for several hours.
This bulletin contains information to help you perform a comprehensive road test (Drive Pattern) that enables the ECM to complete the SRT.
^ A separate Drive Pattern sheet for each 1996 and 1997 vehicle variation is included with this Bulletin.
^ For 1998 and newer vehicles, refer to the EC section of the appropriate Service Manual for the required Drive Pattern. They are listed under On
Board Diagnostic> System Readiness Test.
NOTE:
You must select the Drive Pattern that correctly corresponds with all variables for the vehicle being serviced (i.e. model, model year, engine,
emissions certification, transmission, powertrain, and for 1996/1997 models, ECM part number.
NOTE:
To ensure all ECM Self Test requirements are met, it is important to drive the entire Drive Pattern even if only one SRT item indicates
"INCOMPLETE."
CLAIMS INFORMATION:
Refer to the current Warranty Flat Rate Manual for claims information.
Service Procedure

SRT WORKFLOW
Step 1: Check for DTC
1. Use a CONSULT tool to check for any stored DTCs.
^ If any DTCs are stored they must be repaired at this time.
^ Refer to ASIST for diagnostic and repair information.
NOTE:
Normal warranty coverage will apply for DTC repairs.
2. If no DTCs are stored, go to the next step.
NOTE:
DO NOT touch "Erase" or you will lose previously completed SRTs.
Step 2: Check SRT Status
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 3
Check the SRT Status (Complete or Incomplete).
^ Use the appropriate CONSULT tool.
^ For older vehicles, a Generic Scan Tool may be needed to check SRT status.
NOTE:
In some cases, the normal driving that occurs between the time the vehicle was referred by the State Emissions Inspection Station and it is
brought into the dealership for SRT evaluation may allow the ECM to complete the SRTs. If this occurs, no further action is necessary.
Always check SRT status before performing the SRT Drive Pattern.
Step 3: Identify the Vehicle
You must select the Drive Pattern that correctly corresponds with all variables for the vehicle being serviced refer to the information below in
the image:
Step 4: Obtain ECM Part Number (1996 and 1997 models only)
1. Use a CONSULT tool to obtain the ECM part number.
2. Write the ECM part number in the space provided above.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 4
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 5
3. Compare the vehicles ECM part number with the list of ECM part numbers provided in the Nissan SRT System Chart above to determine the
Drive Pattern for the vehicle being inspected.
NOTE:
For 1996 and 1997 models; if the vehicles ECM part number does not match a part number listed on the SRT System Chart for that
vehicle, either 1) the vehicle was identified incorrectly or 2) the vehicle has the wrong ECM installed. The SRT cannot be completed with
the incorrect ECM.
Step 5: SRT Road Test (perform Drive Pattern)
To properly obtain SRT readings of "COMPLETE" it is necessary to drive the vehicle under the exact conditions required by the vehicle's
ECM.
Be sure to select the correct Drive Pattern. The SRTs will not complete if the wrong drive pattern for that vehicle is used.
1. Select the Drive Pattern based on the Vehicle Identification (see Step 3).
^ For 1996 and 1997 vehicles:
> This bulletin contains a specific Driving Pattern for every 1996 and 1997 Nissan vehicle.
> Use the "Bookmark" on the left side of the ASIST screen to choose the correct model and year.
> Verify that the vehicle ECM P/N matches EXACTLY an ECM P/N listed on the Drive Pattern sheet you chose.
> Print the Drive Pattern to take with you.
^ For 1998 and newer vehicles, refer to the EC section in the appropriate Service Manual for the required Drive Pattern. It is listed under
On-Board Diagnostics> System Readiness Test.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 6
> Print the Drive Pattern to take with you.
2. Prior to driving the vehicle, review the Drive Pattern and prepare to complete it from start to finish:
^ Review the Pre-Check items listed on the drive pattern and ensure all conditions are met.
^ Determine the vehicle speeds required by the drive pattern.
^ Plan your route to minimize traffic and traffic signals that might interrupt the Drive Pattern tasks.
^ Review the Drive Pattern section(s) that must be restarted if you are interrupted.
^ Do not use the ASCD (cruise control) during any section of the Drive Pattern that contains the "No ASCD" symbol.
^ Some EVAP-equipped vehicles will require that fuel be added to the tank between the first and second trip. Be prepared to purchase fuel
or plan your route to accommodate this step.
^ For these EVAP-equipped vehicles, begin the road test with less than 1/2 tank of fuel. If the fuel level is greater than 1/2, more time may
be required to complete the EVAP sections of the Drive Pattern and you may not be able to add fuel as required.
3. Review the Drive Pattern for any input signals that need to be monitored during the drive.
If needed, Connect a CONSULT tool to the vehicle to monitor required signals.
NOTE:
^ Monitor the Fuel Temperature if the EVAP SRT is "INCOMPLETE". One part of the EVAP SRT diagnostic logic requires a 3°C
increase in fuel temperature from the time the ignition key is turned to "ON" as part of the test criteria. Fluctuations in the fuel
temperature reading can extend the time required for the EVAP SRT to indicate "COMPLETE". If the fuel temperature change is not
sufficient after completing the SRT Drive pattern, idle the vehicle until a fuel temperature increase of at least 3°C is noted or until the
EVAP SRT indicates "COMPLETE".
^ If the fuel temperature increases 3°C or more but the SRT still indicates "INCOMPLETE", the SRT Drive Pattern may need to be
repeated.
4. Note the following items before starting the Drive Pattern:
^ IMPORTANT:
Nissan requires using a driver and an assistant to conduct SRT driving patterns. The assistant should read the Drive Pattern, CONSULT
data, and drive time and convey driving instruction to the driver. It is the driver's responsibility to observe and react to traffic conditions.
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner and obey all traffic laws.
^ To ensure all ECM Self Test requirements are met, drive the ENTIRE pattern whenever any SRT items indicate "INCOMPLETE".
^ Some vehicles require that sections of the Drive Pattern be driven two times to satisfy the "self diagnosis two trip logic". For vehicles
that require two trips, the pre-check engine coolant temperature must be met before beginning Section 1 of the second trip.
5. Perform the Drive Pattern:
a. Make sure all Pre-Check conditions are met.
b. Drive the vehicle and carefully follow the specific instructions and time requirements listed in each section of the Drive Pattern.
NOTE: If you monitor the (B/FUEL SCHDL):
^ The Base Fuel Schedule (B/FUEL SCHDL) is an indication of engine load.
^ It will be easier to match high B/FUEL SCHDL values when driving up slight hills in the recommended gear range.
^ It will be easier to match low B/FUEL SCHDL values when driving down slight hills in the recommended gear range.
^ Turning the A/C compressor ON will increase the B/FUEL SCHDL value, while turning it OFF will decrease the B/FUEL SCHDL
value.
Step 6: Recheck for DTC
Upon completion of the Drive Pattern, determine if any DTCs have been stored. Only in rare cases will this occur.
^ If a DTC has been stored after completing the Drive Pattern, it must be repaired. Refer to ASIST for diagnostic and repair information.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 7
NOTE:
Normal warranty coverage will apply for DTC repairs.
^ Once the DTC is repaired, erase the stored DTC. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds, and then repeat the entire Drive Pattern (Step
5) to "COMPLETE" the SRTs.
^ If no DTCs have been stored, DO NOT touch "Erase" or all SRT items will reset to "INCOMPLETE".
Step 7: Confirm All SRTs "COMPLETE"
If all SRT items indicate "COMPLETE", the inspection is complete.
^ If Catalyst and/or 02 Sensor Monitors show "INCOMPLETE" perform step A or B below.
A. Check Self Learning Value and A/F ALPHA. If either value is +10% or more above target of 100%, clear Self Learning Value.
^ Perform DTC diagnosis for P0171 or P0174 and check for the following possible causes:
> Intake air leaks
> Front heated oxygen sensors
> Injectors
> Exhaust gas leaks
> Incorrect fuel pressure
> Lack of fuel
> Mass air flow sensor
A. Check Self Learning Value and A/F ALPHA. If either value is -10% or more below target of 100%, clear Self Learning Value.
^ Perform DTC diagnosis for P0172 or P0175 and check for the following possible causes:
> Intake air leaks
> Front heated oxygen sensors
> Injectors
> Exhaust gas leaks
> Incorrect fuel pressure
> Lack of fuel
> Mass air flow sensor
^ After repairs have been made, run the prescribed drive pattern and check that A/F ALPHA is within +/- 10% of the target of 100%
during the steady state portions of the drive cycle. If it is not, then continue repairs. If it is, return to STEP 5.

previous versions of this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES
SERVICE INFORMATION
To improve customer satisfaction by providing the correct repair on the first visit, Nissan has revised the procedure for ordering an "exchange" or
"new" Audio Visual (A/V) Control Unit for vehicles with the premium navigation systems only (Refer to PROCEDURE).
^ To ensure a proper diagnosis and repair, the technician will need to call TECH LINE to confirm (or assist with) their diagnosis and the proper
repair prior to ordering the unit.
^ Clarion will require a confirmation from TECH LINE prior to shipping the exchange unit orders.
^ For the premium navigation system only.
^ Parts will be put on parts restriction and will need to be cleared prior to the order shipping.
^ The warranty claims call center will verify that TECH LINE has recommended replacement as part of the approval process in the event that a new
unit is required.
> TECH LINE has the support of engineering and Clarion in diagnosis if required.
NOTE:
All other A/V units will be ordered and shipped through the normal process.
> As usual, most units ordered should be an exchange unit versus a new unit.
This requirement of calling TECH LINE for confirmation to replace an A/V unit will be monitored to ensure the most effective and accurate method
of repair. Future changes or adjustments may be made to this process to increase repair timeliness and/or customer satisfaction.
A NEW UNIT IS REQUIRED ONLY IF:
^ The vehicle has not yet been sold.
^ The customer requests a new unit on a non-warranty repair.
^ The exchange unit is not available.
^ Insurance claim replacement.
NOTE:
Nissan would also recommend that this procedure is used for non-warranty repairs to ensure that a proper diagnosis and repair are performed.
PROCEDURE
a. Verify and duplicate the customers concern if possible. If duplication is not possible, please gather as much information about the incident
as possible from the service advisor/writer or customer.
b. Check for any connected devices (phone, iPod, MP3 player, etc.) or determine if a connected device is present during the concern. Please
gather model and software version information if possible.
c. Perform NTB09-063 for any Bluetooth concerns and NTB11-096 for any iPod / iPhone music play through USB concerns.

INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that some 2010 model year Altima vehicles are equipped with an improperly calibrated Engine Control Module (ECM) that
may incorrectly detect engine valve closure as engine knock. To correct this condition, Nissan is conducting this Voluntary Emissions Recall
Campaign to reprogram the Engine Control Module, and inspect (and if needed replace) the exhaust manifold and front exhaust tube. This service
will be performed at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC129 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealers responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary emissions
recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist)
owners and vehicles in a dealers inventory.
IMPORTANT
Attention California Dealers: California law prohibits owners from renewing their California registration if emissions related recall work has not
been performed. California dealers are now required to issue a proof of correction certificate to vehicle owners upon completion of emission related
recall work. Please fill out one of the campaign completion forms for each owner that has this campaign performed. Instruct owners to keep this
certificate unless they are requested to mail it to the DMV. A sample of the form is shown below.

ROAD WHEEL BALANCING WITH HUNTER ROAD FORCE(R) GSP9700 TIRE BALANCER
This bulletin has been amended in the SERVICE INFORMATION section. Tire warm-up time has been increased. Discard all previous versions of
this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan
SERVICE INFORMATION
The most common cause of vehicle vibration at highway speeds is tire/wheel assembly (or road wheel) non-uniformity. There are three primary
contributors that affect tire/wheel assembly vibration:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire Road Force Variation (RFV, or Radial Force Variation)
The Hunter Road Force(R) GSP9700 tire balancer (GSP9700) has the capability to measure tire Road Force Variation (RFV).
When measuring RFV, it is important to look at both the RH1 and RH2 values.
This bulletin will instruct you how to:
^ Prepare the tire/wheel assemblies for balancing on your GSP9700
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 114
^ Measure and display RH1 and RH2
^ Determine if the tire/wheel assemblies are within specified limits
Road Force Variation
Radial Force Variation (RFV) is a measurement term. Tire RFV is a measure of the variation (up and down) of the load action on the spindle, the
force applied to the suspension as the tire turns. This measures the tires uniformity under load.
The primary measures for RFV are 1st harmonic, once per revolution, or RH1, and 2nd harmonic, twice per revolution, or RH2.
Tire/wheel assembly uniformity can only be measured under load.
The GSP9700 measures uniformity by using a load roller. The load roller simulates a load on a tire similar to when it is mounted on a vehicle and
driven on the road.
Most road wheel vibration issues are due to road force variation of RH1 or RH2. Of the two, RH1 is more common.
RH1 vibration causes the road wheel to hop/bump once per revolution. This creates a vibration similar to an imbalance condition.
RH1 can cause steering wheel shimmy or shake, and/or body vibration.
RH1 may be caused by:
^ Imbalance
^ Radial run-out
^ Tire uniformity, or RFV
RH2 can be the primary cause of vibration, although it is not as common as RH1.
RH2 vibration occurs twice per revolution and may be caused by:
^ Radial run-out of tire and/or wheel (i.e., oval or egg shaped)
^ Tire uniformity
Preparing Tire/Wheel Assemblies before Measuring Uniformity (RFV)
1. Check (and adjust as necessary) all tire pressures.
2. Warm up the tires by driving the vehicle a minimum of 15 minutes at highway speeds.
^ This will remove any temporary flat spots prior to testing (refer to NTB11-027).
3. Verify the incident after performing the 15 minute warm-up.
4. If the incident is verified, check uniformity of all tire/wheel assemblies.
Mounting a Tire/Wheel Assembly to a GSP9700
Follow all applicable instructions in the manufacturers operators manual.
Make sure to:
^ Use the correct collet and flange plate (refer to NTB11-044)
^ Check for and remove debris on all road wheels
^ Perform a centering check (to make sure the road wheel is mounted properly on the balancer)
Measuring Tire/Wheel Assembly Uniformity (RFV)
NOTE:
For details regarding measurement of RFV, refer to the manufacturers operators manual.
1. Once properly mounted, spin the tire/wheel assembly.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 115
2. Without measuring Rim Run-out:
a. Using the menu shift key, navigate to and select "Show Runout & ForceMatching" (see Figure 1).
b. From the "Current Runout & Road Force" screen above, select "Show Details" (see Figure 2).
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 116
c. "Assembly Road Force" will display (see Figure 3).
^ See value for "R2H" (RH2).
RH1 Above Limit
If RH1 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, perform the following.
1. Mark the tire at the high spot of RFV, and then at the same location on the wheel (see Figure 4).
^ This will be the reference point to the original indexed location.
2. Deflate the tire, and then break down both beads from the wheel.
3. Rotate the tire 180 degrees on the rim.
4. Seat both beads (refer to NTB11-029), and then inflate the tire to its specified pressure.
5. Measure RFV again.
6. Mark the second high spot of RFV.
a. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the first of RFV tire mark and RFV is still over the guidelines listed below, the root cause is
most likely the tire.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 117
b. If the second tire mark is within 4 inches of the mark on the wheel and RFV is still over the guidelines, the root cause is most likely the
wheel.
c. If the second tire mark is still over the guidelines and did not locate where stated in 6a or 6b:
> Runout can likely be improved by rotating the tire and its second mark another 90 degrees in the direction of the first mark.
RH2 Above Limit
If RH2 is above the applied limit shown in the table below, replace the tire.
Example of typical RH value settings (Some Vehicles May Require Lower Settings)
Refer to NTB11-054 for further details.

VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN
2007-2012 ALTIMA SEDAN & COUPE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
CAMPAIGN ID #: PC125
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2007-2012 Altima Sedan & Coupe (L32 & CL32)
Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on Model Year 2007-2012 Nissan Altima (L32) Sedan and Coupe vehicles to inspect the brake
Systems in vehicles with an illuminated brake warning lamp. Nissan dealers will inspect the brake system and confirm that no brake fluid leak is
present. If no leak is present, the reservoir will be topped off. If a leak in the brake master cylinder is identified, the brake master cylinder will be
replaced.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 143
The affected vehicles are equipped with a brake warning lamp that will illuminate to alert the driver when fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is low.
Fluid in the reservoir may become low due to normal brake pad wear and not because of any brake system malfunction. While in most instances an
illuminated brake warning lamp is due to normal brake pad wear, a small percentage of vehicles affected by this campaign may have a slow brake
fluid leak at the brake master cylinder.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC125 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign that enter the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private
parties, vehicles presented by transient (tourists) owners, and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.

Reference: NTB03-074F
Date: February 21, 2012
EXTERIOR LAMP FOGGING
This bulletin has been amended. The Applied Vehicles section and the first paragraph of the Service Information section have been revised. Please
discard all previous versions.
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2001-2012 Nissan, All Models
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 158
SERVICE INFORMATION
Occasionally customers may notice water vapor or fog in the exterior lamps. This is generally NOT due to a defect.
The following information, illustrations, and flow chart are provided to help you in determining if an incident for water/condensation in the lamps is
normal or not.
All current exterior lamp assemblies are vented to the atmosphere (not sealed).
^ This is necessary to allow for expansion and contraction of air from temperature "variations" (warmer or colder) without damage to the lamp.
^ Moisture in the air sometimes "travels" into and out of the lamp assembly through these vents.
^ Certain environmental conditions may cause moisture to condense.
^ The fogging/cloudiness should disappear over time when the lamp is in a dry environment.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exterior lamp assemblies based on environmental conditions or sudden temperature changes (such as
in a car wash, or parked on a cold, sunny day). This is normal. See Figure 1.
NOTE:
This condensation can appear anywhere on the outer lens, typically at its coldest location.
If the moisture trickles, drips, or pools, it may not be considered normal and the lamp assembly may have a water leak path. See Figure 2 for an
example.
If large drops of water collect inside the lens, refer to the flow chart below to find the next step.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Should a customer note water in a lamp assembly, please use the following flow chart to determine if the condition is normal or requires lamp

this bulletin to diagnose and correct the issue
Road Test
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 171
Determine if the vehicle has a pull or steering wheel off-center issue that requires repair.
IMPORTANT:
^ If the vehicle has any tire issues, such as:
> Tires that are different sizes (except when specified from the factory)
> Significant difference in the amount of wear between any of the tires
> Any other tire irregularity or damage to any tire
Replace the tire(s) or use known good tires from another vehicle for all road tests and diagnostics in this bulletin.
^ Make sure tire pressure is set to the correct specification.
1. Install the following measuring tools on the vehicle:
^ Steering Wheel Offset Gauge
^ Road Crown Gauge
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 172
NOTE:
Refer above for a description of these tools and an explanation of their use.
2. Obtain a watch with a second hand (preferably a stopwatch) to use during the road test.
3. Take the vehicle for a road test and confirm the customers concern.
^ Select a flat road where the vehicle can be driven in a straight line at a preferred speed of 60 mph.
^ During the road test make sure the vehicle is pointing straight. Don't worry about steering wheel position during the road test.
NOTE:
^ If you adjusted the tire pressure or changed the tires before the road test, the issue may have been resolved.
^ If there are cross winds strong enough to affect the vehicle's straight line movement, then diagnosis cannot be performed.
4. Determine the vehicles issue - refer to the definitions of "Pull" and "Steering Wheel Off-center".
5. When the road test is completed, remove the Road Crown Gauge, leave the Steering Wheel Off-Set Gauge in place until the Service Procedure is
complete.

6. Refer to the Flow Chart for the next step.
Other Service Information
Customers may report that their vehicle's steering wheel is "off-center" because the steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right when the
vehicle continues straight ahead on a straight flat road (see example in Figure 1).
If a vehicle's steering wheel spokes are slightly off center while driving straight, it may be the normal result of road crown. Most roads in the United
States are built with a "crown" to help rain water drain from the road surface. The slope of the road crown varies from place to place.
Vehicles have a natural tendency to drift to the low side of the crown. The greater the slope of the crown, the faster the vehicle will drift in that
direction.
Tires and vehicles are designed to counteract the effect of typical road crown, but may not fully counteract the effect of a highly crowned road.
Some freeways slope to both the left and right from the center. When driving on a freeway that slopes in both directions, a vehicle may exhibit a
small amount of drift to the left when driving in the left lane and a small amount of drift to the right when driving in the right lane.
This bulletin does not address road crown issues because they are not vehicle related, although the customer may incorrectly perceive them to be.
Description/Definition of Steering Wheel "Off-center" Condition
The steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right more than allowable (see example in Figure 2) when driving straight ahead on a straight flat
road.
Allowable specification for steering wheel off-center
^ All Nissan (except NV1500, 2500, and 3500): 2 mm or less.
^ NV1500, 2500, and 3500: 4 mm or less.
When driving straight on a highly crowned road, the steering wheel may be turned (off-center) to counteract the affect of the road crown. When road
testing for an off-center condition, the vehicle should be driven on a straight flat road.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 174
Although the vehicle does not pull in either direction, the customer may perceive that the vehicle pulls because it will respond if he or she tries to
bring the steering wheel back to center. This condition can occur if the tie rod length is uneven (not adjusted correctly) from side to side.
Description/Definition of a Vehicle "Pull" Condition
The vehicle consistently drifts to one side while driving at a constant speed on a straight, flat road.
^ A vehicle is said to "pull" if it completes a lane change in less than 7 seconds (with no steering correction from the driver) when driving at 60
MPH on a road with less than 2 degrees of road crown slope. All four wheels must pass into the other lane during this time (7 seconds).

WHEEL ALIGNMENT INFORMATION
This bulletin has been amended. The "Operations Performed Report" was added. Discard previous versions of this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan - except GT-R
SERVICE INFORMATION
^ When performing a wheel alignment it is important that you read and follow all of the instructions supplied with your alignment equipment.
^ The information in this bulletin is not intended to be complete wheel alignment instructions.
^ Use the information in this bulletin as a supplement to the instructions for your equipment.
General Information and Recommendations
1. Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should always be performed.
^ This type of alignment is recommended for all Nissan vehicles.
^ The four-wheel thrust process ensures that the vehicle is properly aligned, and helps ensure proper "centering" of the steering wheel.
2. Use the right alignment machine.
^ You must use a quality alignment machine that will give accurate results when performing alignment checks.
^ Refer to the Nissan TECH-MATE Service Equipment Catalog for recommended alignment equipment.
^ The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any Nissan vehicle.
^ The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
3. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.
^ Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give accurate readings.
^ If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged, calibration should be checked immediately.
^ Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration schedule.
NOTE:
In order to properly document any warranty alignment claim, the following item MUST be attached to the Repair Order:
^ A copy of the alignment machine printout showing the BEFORE and AFTER alignment readings.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not attach the above item to the Repair Order, the claim may be denied (rejected or charged back).
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 175
ALSO:
^ A copy of the yearly alignment machine calibration certification must be held on file in the Service Dept.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 176
^ When finished, complete the Operations Performed Report shown above and attach it to the repair order.
4. Make sure the "turn plates" and "slide plates" are in good working order:
^ The surface of the front turn plates must be level with (the same height as) the rack surface.
If height is not the same; have the equipment repaired before performing any alignments.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 177
^ Make sure the front turn plates:
> Do not wobble (no up/down movement).
> Operate (slide and turn) smoothly in all directions.
If there is any issue with the turn plate operation - have the equipment repaired before performing any alignments.
^ Make sure the rear slide plates:
> Do not wobble (no up/down movement).
> Operate (slide) smoothly in all directions.
If there is any issue with the slide plate operation - have the equipment repaired before performing any alignments.
5. Make sure the lock pins for the front "turn plates" and rear "slide plates" are in place.
NOTE:
Lock pins should remain in place until caster sweep.
The Alignment Process
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in the appropriate Service Manual when adjusting the alignment.
1. Make sure the vehicle is straight on the alignment rack.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 178
^ Vehicle must be straight (in line) with the alignment rack before entering the rack as shown in Figure 4.
^ Do not straighten the vehicle while on the rack (see Figure 5).
^ If the vehicle needs to be straightened, exit the alignment rack, straighten the vehicle and then re-enter the rack.
^ Once the vehicle is straight on the rack, do not turn/center the steering wheel-keep the front wheels straight.
2. Position vehicle on the front turn plates as follows:
^ Stop vehicle just behind the turn plates.
^ Center the turn plates to the tires.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 179
^ Move the vehicle onto the turn plates by turning/pushing the rear wheel.
DO NOT push/pull on the vehicle body.
^ Center the front wheels on the turn plates.
^ Chock the left rear wheel.
Preliminary Checks:
3. Perform pre-alignment checks.
^ Tire condition (wear, partial wear, flaws, etc.)
^ Road wheel condition (damage and deformation)
^ Tire pressure
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 180
^ Inspect for visible damage to any suspension components
^ Wheel bearing axial play
^ Ball joints of suspension arms
^ Shock absorber operation and visual check for oil leakage
^ Condition of axle and suspension (check for bushing cracks and slack)
^ Vehicle weight
> Empty - no cargo, luggage, or passengers
> Fuel level is full
> Engine coolant and lubricating oils at specified levels
> Spare tire, jack, hand tools, and floor mats in designated positions
NOTE:
Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for information about any of the above checks and inspections.
4. Check the target mounts.
^ If there is any visual damage (bent, worn, cracked, etc), have the equipment repaired before performing any alignments.
^ Make sure the target mounts are properly adjusted and configured (see Figure 11).
NOTE:
The target mount example shown in Figure 11 is for Hunter "camera type" alignment machines. Follow the operation manual for your specific
equipment.
5. Make sure the targets are mounted correctly.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 181
^ Mount the top claws first.
^ Claws must be flush against the wheel as shown in Figure 13.
^ Target must be flush against the center support as shown in Figure 14.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 182
^ Make sure the targets are positioned with the arrow UP or level.
IMPORTANT:
Once you have set the target position, DO NOT reset it at anytime during the alignment process.
6. Begin the alignment procedure.
^ Follow all of the instructions for your particular equipment.
^ Refer to the Service Manual for alignment specifications.
If your equipment requires "rolling compensation," follow these additional tips:
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 183
^ DO NOT push or pull on the vehicle body.
IMPORTANT:
After performing "rolling compensation", DO NOT reset the target position.
When performing "caster sweep". follow these tips:
^ Apply the brakes as shown.
^ Start the engine to allow brake boost.
^ Turn the engine OFF.
^ Remove all lock pins - front "turn plates" and rear "slide plates".
^ Make sure the bridge plate will not interfere with movement of the turn plate.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 184
Put the bridge plate in the down position.
^ Perform caster sweep by turning the steering wheel from outside the vehicle.
^ DO NOT push/pull on the tire to perform the caster sweep.
7. Make sure the steering wheel is centered when performing toe-in measurements and adjustments.
NOTE:
If you are using a Hunter alignment machine equipped with the WinToe(R) Adjustment System:
^ There is no need to lock the steering wheel. The WinToe(R) system is not affected by steering system movement during the adjustment
process.
^ Bumping the tire or re-centering the steering wheel when adjusting "near frozen" tie rods is not necessary. This makes the adjustment process
faster and easier.
^ WinToe(R) eliminates the effect of lash in the steering system.
If you are using a John Bean alignment machine equipped with EZ Toe:
^ There is no need to lock the steering wheel. The EZ Toe system is not affected by steering system movement during the adjustment process.
^ This software routine is an improved method of setting front toe, making it easier to obtain a centered steering wheel.
^ With EZ Toe, it is possible to adjust toe with the steering wheel turned at any angle left or right. This is helpful when setting toe on engine
wall mounted rack and pinion units.
IMPORTANT:
If during the alignment process the vehicle was lifted off of the rack; after lowering, make sure to jounce (bounce) the vehicle before confirming
adjustments are correct.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 185
After you have checked and adjusted vehicle alignment
8. Print the BEFORE and AFTER measurements and attach them to the Repair Order.
9. Road test the vehicle to make sure the steering wheel is "centered" when driving on a straight flat road.
10. When finished, complete the Operations Performed Report and attach it to the repair order.
Warranty Claim Information:
In order to properly document any warranty alignment claim, the following item MUST be attached to the Repair Order:
^ A copy of the alignment machine printout showing the BEFORE and AFTER alignment readings.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not attach the above item to the Repair Order, the claim may be denied (rejected or charged back).

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING LIGHT DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
This bulletin has been amended. Changes were made. Please discard previous versions.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
IF YOU CONFIRM
The TPMS warning light is illuminated (continuously or flashing),
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 208
ACTIONS
STEP 1: Turn ignition to "OFF" and then "ON" position (engine not required to be running).
^ If the TPMS warning light is continuously illuminated (not flashing), the TPMS is operating normally and has detected low tire pressure in one of
the tires. Go to STEP 2.
NOTE:
> Normal tire pressure maintenance is not covered under warranty.
> Some 2011 and newer models will display an alert in the Vehicle information display near the speedometer. The alert will read "Check Tire
Pressure", or similar, and will accompany the illuminated TPMS light.
> If the TPMS warning light is flashing for approximately one minute, there is a TPMS system malfunction. Do not go to Step 2. Instead, check
the DTC and refer to the Service Manual for repair instructions.
STEP 2: Leave the ignition in the "ON" position* (engine is not required to be running) and set the tire pressure to the recommended pressure.
^ Refer below for Important Tire Pressure Information.
* Leaving the ignition in the ON position may allow the TPMS to detect the corrected tire pressure more quickly on 2009 and newer models
(WITHOUT having to drive the vehicle).
Important Tire Pressure Information:
Each vehicle is equipped with a "Tire and Loading Information" placard (see example in Figure 1).
For factory equipped tires, follow the recommended cold pressure on the placard to set the tire pressure on the vehicle.
Tire pressure can be affected by factors such as tire temperature, outside temperature, time, and altitude.
^ Refer to NTB08-033 for additional information about these factors that affect tire pressure, including seasonal temperature changes.
When tire pressure is low, make sure it is not caused by a leak. If needed, repair as necessary.
After tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle may need to be driven at speeds above 16 mph for the TPMS to turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. DO NOT USE CONSULT TO RESET THE TPMS.
For additional Tire Pressure Information, refer to NTB08-033 (Tire Pressure Information).

TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION FOR VEHICLES WITH TPMS
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 209
The publication date on this bulletin has been amended to include the newest models.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
SERVICE INFORMATION
The Low Tire Pressure Warning Lamp will illuminate continuously (not flashing) if the tire pressure is low in any of the four road tires.
^ This is not an indication of a malfunction. Rather, it is a signal to the driver that the tire pressure in the vehicle must be adjusted.
Tire pressure must be adjusted/corrected at or above the pressure shown on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label before the Low Tire
Pressure Warning Light will go OFF.
^ Regular tire pressure maintenance such as described in this bulletin is not covered under the warranty.
The air pressure inside a tire can change due to several factors, such as:
^ Seasonal temperature change
^ Tire temperature change due to driving
^ Natural pressure loss over time
Compensate for the above temperature factors when adjusting and setting tire pressure.
Each vehicle is equipped from the factory with a TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label.
This label lists the COLD tire pressure setting for the original tires on the specific vehicle.
NOTE:
Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile at moderate speeds.
When setting / adjusting tire pressure, make sure to use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Use the following information for reference:
Temperature:
^ Tire pressure changes approximately 0.8 psi for every 10°F of temperature change. As temperature decreases, pressure decreases.
^ Tire pressure may change 3 - 5 psi between a Cold reading and a reading taken just after the vehicle has been driven for several miles.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 210
^ Seasonal temperature change can result in tire pressure that is low enough to turn on the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.
Example 1 - Seasonal Temperature Change:
^ The temperature of the vehicle is 70°F after sitting in the shop.
^ Ambient temperature outside the shop is 30°F or will soon fall to 30°F due to seasonal change.
^ Recommended pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35 psi.
^ The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38 psi to avoid dropping below the label value when the vehicle
experiences cooler ambient air temperature.
^ Compensation should also be used in the PDI process as needed.
Example 2 - WARM Tires:
^ A vehicle arrives to the dealer after being driven across town.
^ The WARM tire pressure reading is 32 psi.
^ Recommended COLD tire pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35 psi.
^ The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38 psi to avoid dropping below the label value when the tires cool.
Natural tire pressure loss over time:
^ Vehicle tire pressure can naturally decrease by approximately 1.0 - 1.5 psi per month. This will vary due to seasonal temperature change.
^ After 6 to 8 months tire pressure may be low enough to turn ON the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.
High Altitude
^ At high altitude locations, a standard tire pressure gauge may show the tire pressure higher than the TPMS system. If the gauge reading is not
accounted for, this could result in turning ON the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 211
^ Standard tire pressure gauge readings increase about 1.0 psi for every 2,200 ft of altitude increase above sea level (up to 10,000 ft). See graph 3
above.
^ For example, if the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label reads 33 psi, then at an elevation of 5,280 ft, the cold inflation pressure using a
gauge should be increased 2.5 psi to 35.5 psi."
NOTE:
In the above example, C-III, Signal Tech II, or the vehicle information display (if equipped) would show a tire pressure of 33 psi. If needed, use
C-III or Signal Tech-II to confirm tire pressure.
NOTE:
^ After correcting the tire pressure, the vehicle may need to be driven at speeds above 16 mph to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light.
^ If pressure compensation for temperature is used, the pressure should be rechecked and adjusted at a later time when the tires are cold.
^ If after turning the ignition ON, the TPMS light flashes for one minute and then turns solid, refer to NTB10-048 or NTB09-1O1.

iPod(R) Charging with Nissan Interface System for iPod(R)
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan with Nissan Interface System for iPod(R)
(factory installed or accessory installed)
SERVICE INFORMATION
Please be aware that a recent design change was made by Apple to their iPod(R) and iPhone(R) products. As a result of this change, some customers
may report that their iPod(R)/iPhone(R) device does not charge while connected to the Nissan Interface System for iPod(R).
The Nissan Interface System for iPod(R) was designed to charge the customer's iPod(R) with a 12-volt power source, which has been supported by
all Apple iPod(R) and iPhone(R) devices until the latest generation. After Apple's design change, these new devices only support charging via a
5-volt source, which the Interface System does not provide. Customers may see error messages on the device screen, or notice that the device's
battery discharges while connected to their vehicle's interface system. Please note that while charging may not be supported playback and control
through the vehicle's audio system are still available.
Compatible Devices:
All Apple devices that support charging via a FireWire(R) connection are compatible with the Nissan Interface System for iPod(R). These include:
^ iPod(R) Classic - 1st through 6th generation
^ iPod(R) Mini - 1st through 2nd generation
^ iPod(R) Nano - 1st through 3rd generation
^ iPod(R) Touch - 1st generation
^ iPhone(R) - 1st generation
NOTE:
Refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual for further Nissan Interface System Information.
Non-compatible devices (as of 12/8/2008):
^ iPhone(R)3G
^ iPod(R) Nano - 4th generation
^ iPod(R) Touch - 2nd generation
Nissan is working closely with Apple to ensure full compatibility with our future Interface Systems, but as Apple's change was made without
adequate notification to Nissan, at this time there is no plan to modify the current Interface Systems for the 2009 model year.
Please make customers aware that there are products available in the aftermarket designed to reduce the 12V power source to 5V and should enable
their device to charge while connected to their vehicle. A few examples are provided below, however, Nissan expects these types of aftermarket
solutions to become even more widely available considering that Apple's change has impacted the charging ability of many automotive OEM's
iPod(R) integration systems.
Aftermarket Solutions:
PLEASE NOTE:
Nissan has not tested any of these aftermarket solutions and makes no endorsement, warranty, or guarantee of performance or compatibility for any
specific third party accessory. These devices are advertised by their respective manufacturers to resolve 12V to 5V charging issues, but have not
been designed for or tested with Nissan vehicles.

Reference: NTB10-038
Date: March 11, 2010
NISSAN; TESTING JIS-TYPE & CCA-TYPE BATTERIES
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan vehicles
SERVICE INFORMATION
Nissan vehicles equipped with standard lead/acid batteries use one of two different types with unique battery rating specifications: JIS & CCA.
JIS = Japan Industrial Standard, used for Japan produced batteries
CCA = Cold Cranking Amps, standard for North American produced batteries
IMPORTANT:
^ JIS batteries have different testing specifications than CCA batteries.
^ If you must use the GR8 Battery Tester in a mode other than MODEL mode, JIS Mode MUST ALWAYS BE USED for JIS batteries otherwise an
incorrect result will occur. NEVER test a JIS battery using the CCA test in the GR8; the test software in the GR8 is different for JIS and CCA
modes. ANY CCA value you may have for a JIS-type battery is inaccurate for testing purposes.
ALWAYS test with the GR8 using the MODEL mode (if available).
^ Selecting MODEL and vehicle type will automatically select the proper JIS or CCA value for the Original Equipment battery.
^ If the applicable vehicle is not listed update the GR8 to make sure it has the most recent data package.
^ If the applicable vehicle still is not listed:
1) Determine which type of battery (CCA or JIS) is installed in the vehicle. See below for descriptions of each battery.
2) Select CCA or JIS in the GR8 based on the type of battery installed. See below for more information.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 224
Determine the Battery Type
Batteries with JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Number
^ Batteries installed in vehicles produced in Japan have a JIS number embossed in the plastic on top of the battery.
^ These vehicles have a VIN that begins with the letter "J".
Batteries with CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) Number
^ Batteries installed in vehicles produced in North America have a CCA number displayed on the label attached to the top of the battery.
^ These vehicles have a VIN that begins with a number: 1, 3, or 5.
Selecting CCA or JIS in the GR8 Battery Tester
Vehicles with JIS Battery
^ Select JIS, then choose the option that matches the first five (5) characters of the JIS number on the battery.
NOTE:
DO NOT select CCA when testing a JIS battery.
Vehicles with CCA Battery
^ Select CCA, then choose the option that matches the number following "Cold Cranking Amps" on the battery.

TIRE MOUNTING INFORMATION
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan
SERVICE INFORMATION
^ When mounting tires to wheels, it is important that the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ A tire bead that is not seated correctly may cause a vehicle vibration.
^ High performance tires and tires with shorter sidewalls (low aspect tires) may require more care to make sure the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ Follow the Tire Mounting Tips in this bulletin.
Tire Mounting Tips:
NOTE:
These tips are not intended to be a complete instruction for mounting tires to wheels. Make sure to read and follow the instruction for your specific
tire service equipment
1. Clean the tire bead with an approved rubber cleaning fluid.
^ Rubber cleaning fluid is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process.
2. Clean the wheel (flange and bead seat area) see Figure 2 Make sure to clean off all rust and corrosion.
3. Apply an approved tire lubricant to the tire and wheel in the areas shown in Figures 1 and 2.
^ Tire lubricant is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 321
Tire:
^ Apply lube to the inner bead only of both beads
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area (outer bead area)
NOTE:
Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs the tire may become un-balanced.
Wheel:
^ Apply lube to the Safety Humps and Bead Seating area.
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area
4. Before inflating the tire:
^ If there are "match-mount" marks on the tire and rim, align the marks.
^ Make sure the tire is evenly positioned on the lower safety humps.
5. WARNING: Do not exceed the tire manufactures recommended bead seating inflation pressure. Generally this is 40psi.
If the bead does not seat with the appropriate pressure:
a. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
b. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
c. Remount the tire.
6. After inflating the tires, inspect the bead area.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 322
^ Make sure bead is seated uniformly (the same) around the entire circumference of the wheel.
NOTE:
Many tires have Aligning Rings that will help confirm the bead is uniformly seated.
If uniform; bead is seated correctly.
If not uniform
1. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
2. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
3. Remount the tire.
7. After the tire/wheel is balanced, apply an index mark to the tire at the location of the valve stem (see Figure 6).
^ This index mark will allow you to tell if the tire has slipped on the rim (see Figure 7).
Tire to Rim Slippage:
^ Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs, the tire may become un-balanced.
^ Overtime the tire lubricate will dry, eliminating the lubricant as a cause of tire slippage.
^ Some tire lubricants may require up to 24 hours to completely dry.
^ If slippage occurs, the tire/wheel will need to be re-balanced.

INTRODUCTION
Some specific model year 2009 2010 Altima and Maxima vehicles may have been built with front strut mounting insulators that were not
manufactured to specification. The strut mounting insulators on these specific vehicles may crack. To remedy this potential condition Nissan is
conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace the strut mounting insulators with new ones at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC012 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 345
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall
which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners
and vehicles in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be
corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies
only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE FOR SEIZED EXHAUST SENSOR
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan vehicles
SERVICE INFORMATION
If an exhaust sensor is seized in the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube, perform the procedure described in this bulletin to remove the sensor and
prevent unnecessary replacement of the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube.
In most cases this procedure is successful. This is because the threads of the exhaust sensors are made of a softer material than the part they thread
into on the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube.
NOTE:
The replacement of exhaust manifolds/catalysts/front tubes for stripped exhaust sensor threads may not be considered a warrantable expense.
This procedure can be performed by two methods:
Method #1 - If the Sensor Can Be Easily Accessed
^ The procedure can be performed on the vehicle.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 388

^ When removing a seized exhaust sensor with a specialty socket (which contains a slit to accommodate the wiring harness), it may spread open and
strip the sensor.
^ Before this occurs, it is recommended to cut the wiring harness from the sensor and use a box end wrench or 6-point deep well socket.
1. Clamp the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube in a vice.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 389
2. Spray the sensor with the rust penetrant for 2 to 3 seconds.
^ It is important that the spray is directed at the base of the sensor to ensure it penetrates into the threads.
3. Loosen the sensor approximately 10 degrees.
4. Spray with rust penetrant again for 2 to 3 seconds.
5. Tighten the sensor 10 degrees, then loosen the sensor 10 degrees.
^ Repeat this motion several times until the sensor begins to turn more easily.

CVT OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS USING FLORESCENT DYE
APPLIED TRANSMISSION: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
SERVICE INFORMATION
If you have a CVT that appears to have oil seepage or a leak on the transmission, follow the steps below to assist in a correct diagnosis.
1. Thoroughly clean off the area of the suspected leak.
2. Install 1 fluid ounce of J-28431 Fluorescent Oil Dye* into the CVT.
3. Drive vehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes (to ensure proper diagnosis).
4. Inspect with lamp from J-43926 A/C Dye Kit*
If no fluorescent oil trace/leak is found, the stain is probably:
^ corrosion protection chemicals sprayed on the transmission
and/or
^ lubricants which are sometimes used to ease the assembly process.
NOTE:
These may cause dust to accumulate (gather) on the transmission and have the appearance of an oil leak. Neither of these requires corrective action.
If a fluorescent oil trace/leak is found:
^ Repair using standard warranty procedures.
*These tools were made Essential in 2001 (J-28431) and 1999 (J-43926). They are also available from Tech Mate.
NOTE:
The Fluorescent Oil Dye is also available from Tech Mate in a pack of six 1 ounce bottles. That pack is available as part number J-28431-6.

^ Make sure your hands are clean before starting this repair.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 415
^ It is recommended to start with the passenger side door mirror.
3. Hold up the tape (with its backing still on) where it will adhere to the mirror (see Figure 2).
^ Set the tape by aligning its center line along the gap between the mirror and cover.
^ This will help give you an idea where the tape will be located before actually sticking it on.
^ Make note where the end closest to the body is situated (see Figure 2).
4. Remove the upper backing from the tape as shown in Figure 3.
^ Carefully hold the tape end closest to the body, and at the area where the tape starts to bend (see Figure 3).
^ Let the "short" end droop down at this time (see Figure 3).
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 416
5. While keeping the tape taut (no drooping between holds), apply the tape while aligning its center line with the gap (see Figure 4).
^ Use the backing edge as the centerline (see Figure 4).
^ At the same time, locate the end closest to the body as noted in Step 3 and Figure 2.
6. Smooth out the section of the tape between the "body" end and curve (see Figure 5).
^ Start at the "body" end, working toward the curve (see Figure 5).
7. Remove the second backing. See Figure 5 above.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 417

Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on certain select model year 2010 Nissan Altima Sedans. A small number of vehicles may
have welds on the front side member that are out of specification. To address this, Nissan will inspect, and if necessary, repair the front side member
welds at no charge for parts or labor.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
Approximately 48 vehicles are affected by this campaign.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC046 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall
which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners
and vehicles in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be
corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies
only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.

CAN COMMUNICATION CODES - DIAGNOSTIC TIPS & GUIDELINES
APPLIED VEHICLES: All 2005 - 2010 Nissan vehicles
SERVICE INFORMATION
Related to communication codes U1000, U1001, U1002, U1010:
^ Always diagnose the communication codes first.
^ When a module reports a U1000 code, it is typically operating normally; however, there is a communication error external to that module on the
CAN network.
^ U1000 indicates an error. V-CAN diagram or CAN Diag Support Monitor provides data to determine the location of the error.
Step 1
Complete the CAN diagnosis with CONSULT-III (C-III).
^ Open ASIST first and then open C-III using the Consult Utilities icon. This step will help identify the CAN type on many vehicles using the SIS
function.
^ Ensure the correct CAN type is selected. Selecting the incorrect CAN type will lead to mis-diagnosis.
Step 2
View the V-CAN screen or print all CAN Diag Support Monitors (shown below).
^ The V-CAN diagram screen is a snap shot only. It must be refreshed after any changes.
Step 3
Read the V-CAN diagram using the key provided OR reference the appropriate Electronic Service Manual (ESM) to analyze the CAN Diag Support
Monitor data. Determine the incident according to the display.
Step 4
If V-CAN diagnosis is not available or inconclusive, refer to the basic CAN diagnostic guidelines shown below. These represent electrical values of
the CAN system measured at the Data Link Connector or connectors at non-termination units.
To properly perform these basic checks:
^ The battery should be disconnected for resistance checks.
^ The ignition should be off.
Tips if a control module is the suspected root cause:
^ Improper module configuration or incorrect part numbers may set CAN DTCs.
^ Low battery voltage may set CAN DTCs.
^ Always confirm the power, ground, and CAN resistance at a suspect module before replacing the module. Resistance should be close to 60 ohms
at the module (measured with the battery disconnected). The resistance at terminating modules should be close to 120 ohms. Examples of
terminating modules include IPDM, ECM, or BCM. Reference the appropriate ESM to determine the terminating modules.

INTRODUCTION
Garmin is conducing a voluntary safety recall campaign on certain nuvi(R) brand portable automotive GPS units. Some of these units were installed
on Nissan vehicles. To address this issue, the Garmin nuvi(R) GPS devices installed on the affected vehicles need to have the serial numbers
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 465
checked, and if needed, the device may need to be sent to Garmin for repairs at no charge.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC063 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check each vehicle affected by this voluntary safety recall which is in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that
new product in a dealer inventory which is the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties
by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to
correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
Customers who own a vehicle falling within the range of this campaign which are equipped with a Garmin nuvi(R) GPS device can be referred to the
Garm in website to check their device, and if necessary have it repaired. The process requires no tools, and is clearly explained on the website.
www.garmin.comlnuvibattervpcbrecall
Customers can also call Garmin at 1-866-559-0076 for guidance and instruction for having their device checked and, if needed, repaired.

Tires - Preventing Tire Flat Spotting
Classification: WT11-001
Reference: NTB11-027
Date: March 10, 2011
NEW VEHICLE TIRE FLAT SPOTTING
APPLIED VEHICLES: New unsold Nissan dealer in-stock units
SERVICE INFORMATION
Temporary tire Flat Spotting is common on New Dealer In-Stock vehicles that have not been occasionally moved.
Flat Spotting can occur after the vehicle has been parked (not moved) for a few days, or longer. In most cases it is temporary. In extreme cases it can
be permanent.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 476
As instructed in the Assurance Products Resource Manual, vehicles should be moved 12 inches, in one direction only, every 30 days to prevent tire
Flat Spotting.
New vehicle inventory vibration incidents related to storage Flat Spotting are not considered warrantable repairs.
If tire Flat Spotting has occurred, it can cause a vibration or shimmy condition that may be noticeable for the first several miles of driving.
Factors that can influence Flat Spotting:
^ Long storage time without moving the vehicle may result in permanent flat spots.
^ High performance and high speed rated tires are more prone to flat spotting due to the internal construction and nylon use in these tires.
^ Shorter sidewall tires do not absorb irregularities (flat spots) as well as taller sidewall tires.
^ In colder temperature tires are stiffer which increases the tendency to have flat spots and increases the drive time needed to remove them.
Refer to the Service Procedure below if you have tires with Flat Spotting.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
^ It is important to remove any temporary Flat Spotting prior to performing tire balance, tire run-out, and/or tire road force checks.
^ If the Flat Spotting is not removed it can result in incorrect measurements.
^ Temporary flat spots will return to original (near uniform) condition after driving for approximately 15 miles at highway speeds.
1. Drive the vehicle at highway speeds until the vibration (Flat Spotting) is eliminated.
NOTE:
^ In most cases, flat spot vibrations will be eliminated within 15 minutes (about 15 miles) of driving.
^ If the vehicle has been stored without moving for an extended time, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle up to 30 minutes (about 30 miles) at
highway speeds.
^ If the vibration goes away during the test drive, no further action is required.
^ If the vibration is not completely eliminated during the test drive go to step 2.
2. Within 10 minutes after driving the vehicle, lift the vehicle so there is no load on the tries.
3. Check the tire/wheel assemblies for balance, run-out, and road force variation. Correct as necessary.

SERVICE INFORMATION
This bulletin provides information to identify:
^ A leaking strut or a shock absorber that qualifies for replacement under warranty.
^ A strut or shock absorber that has slight oil seepage, a condition which is considered normal, does not affect strut/shock absorber operation
or performance, and does not require replacement.
^ A strut or shock absorber that should be replaced due to rod resistance/noise issues.
IMPORTANT:
^ If strut/shock absorber leakage is diagnosed in one strut/shock absorber, do NOT automatically replace struts/shock absorbers on both sides.
Replace the leaking strut/shock absorber only.
^ In cases where diagnosis of a strut indicates part replacement and the labor operation states that it includes toe or alignment check/set, the
alignment check/set must be supported with a printout from your alignment machine (i.e., "alignment printout").
Inspect the Condition of Oil Leakage
If oil does NOT extend beyond the spring seat or upper 1/3 of shock:
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 484
^ This is slight oil seepage. The strut/shock absorber should NOT be replaced.
If oil does extend beyond the spring seat or upper 1/3 of shock:
^ Use a finger to touch the oil that has extended beyond the spring seat or upper 1/3 of shock.
^ If you confirm the oil layer is thick and contains large pieces of dust and debris, the strut/shock absorber should be replaced.
^ If you confirm the oil layer is thin and does NOT contain large pieces of dust and debris, the strut/shock absorber should NOT be replaced.
Inspect the Strut/Shock Absorber Rod
CAUTION:
The front shock absorbers for Frontier (D40), Xterra (N50), and Pathfinder (R51) vehicles do NOT have a bound stopper inside. Make sure
to stop the rod close to the end of travel when compressing during step 1.
1. Compress and extend the strut rod or shock absorber rod more than four (4) times by hand.
2. Confirm the resistance and sound is normal when operating.
^ If atypical resistance or sound is noted, the strut/shock absorber should be replaced.

VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN
2007-2012 ALTIMA SEDAN & COUPE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
This bulletin has been amended. "This Voluntary Service Campaign DOES NOT APPLY to Altima Hybrid (L32H) vehicles" was added to the
Applied Vehicles section. Please discard previous versions.

2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 492
>> This Voluntary Service Campaign DOES NOT APPLY to Altima Hybrid (L32H) vehicles<<
Refer to the flow chart (Repair Overview) for campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on Model Year 2007-2012 Nissan Altima (L32) Sedan and Coupe vehicles to inspect the brake
system in vehicles with an illuminated brake warning lamp. Nissan dealers will inspect the brake system and confirm that no brake fluid leak is
present. If no leak is present, the reservoir will be topped off. If a leak in the brake master cylinder is identified, the brake master cylinder will be
replaced.
The affected vehicles are equipped with a brake warning lamp that will illuminate to alert the driver when fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is low.
Fluid in the reservoir may become low due to normal brake pad wear and not because of any brake system malfunction. While in most instances an
illuminated brake warning lamp is due to normal brake pad wear, a small percentage of vehicles affected by this campaign may have a slow brake
fluid leak at the brake master cylinder.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC125 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
This action is only required if the brake warning lamp is currently illuminated, or the customer states it was recently illuminated while driving. In
addition, this campaign is intended to promote customer satisfaction. This inspection may also be performed based on customer request, regardless
of the warning lamp illumination.

SERVICE INFORMATION
If a CD/DVD Player incident is noted, a possible cause may be improper CD/DVD disc care, condition, or usage. This bulletin provides updated
CD/DVD Player operation instructions to avoid potential incidents/customer concerns caused by improper care and usage of CD/DVD discs.
2019 Nissan-Datsun Altima L4-2.5L (QR25DE) Page 550
To aid in solving customer concerns, use the following guidelines when speaking to customers or inspecting incident vehicles.
^ Customers must not use discs that are warped, scratched, chipped, cracked, have abnormal edges or are otherwise damaged (see Figures 1 and 2).
Damaged or poor condition discs may cause the Player internal mechanism to jam or have optical pick-up errors.
NOTE:
Do not make a Warranty claim against a Player that will not play damaged or poor condition discs as described in this Bulletin.
^ Instruct the customer to handle discs carefully when inserting/removing them from the Player. Hold them by the edges and do not bend them.
Always place them in the storage case when they are not being used (played). This will ensure that discs stay in top working order.
^ Customers must not use discs with adhesive labels. The label will loosen or peel and this can jam the Player.
^ Ensure that the customer only uses audio CDs that have the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" insignia on them (see Figure 3). The audio CD Player
was designed to use CDs that meet this design standard. Lower quality CDs may not function properly in the audio CD Player.
^ Inform the customer that this information and additional disc care and cleaning instructions may be found in all Nissan Owner's Manuals.

APPLIED TRANSMISSION: Vehicles equipped with CVT ONLY
NOTE:
This bulletin does not apply to Altima Hybrid.
SERVICE INFORMATION
A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is designed to go into fluid temperature protection logic mode ("fail-safe mode") if the CVT fluid
temperature rises above a certain threshold. When the CVT goes into fail-safe mode, engine performance is reduced. Customers may report this
condition as "low power" or "reduced engine performance".
While the CVT is designed to go into fail safe mode if the fluid temperature rises above the threshold, the following conditions may cause the CVT
to go into fail-safe mode prematurely during normal vehicle operation:
1. Overfilled CVT fluid level.
2. Incorrect type of transmission fluid - Use Genuine Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid.
3. Incorrect coolant/water mix.
See below for more detail on each of the above conditions.
1. Fluid level check/adjust procedure
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
b. Apply the parking brake firmly.
c. Move the A/T shift lever to "P" (Park) position.
d. With the engine idling, depress brake pedal, move the shift selector throughout the entire shift range, and then back to "P".
e. Using CONSULT III plus, verify CVT fluid temperature is 70 - 80°C, and CVTF (CVT Fluid) count is 158-161.
NOTE:
If CVT fluid temperature is below 70°C, drive the vehicle for 5 - 10 minutes until the required temperature is reached.
IMPORTANT:
CVTF count must be 158 to 161.
f. Adjust the CVT fluid level between the marks shown in Figure 1.
NOTE:
Refer to NTB09-044 to verify the vehicle you are working on has the correct CVT oil level gauge by part number. If not, install the correct
fluid level gauge before performing the fluid level check/adjust procedure.

2. Incorrect CVT fluid type
NOTE:
Any damage caused by the use of any fluid other than as specified in the vehicle owners manual is excluded from coverage under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
a. To check fluid type, draw a sample by using a syringe or suitable tool through the oil level gauge charge pipe, or drain from the oil pan
(see Figure 2).
OK: The fluid sample is green in color. It may have a greenish/brown tint.
NG: The fluid sample is red in color, or any color other than a greenish/brown tint.
b. If incorrect fluid is found:
^ Perform the following two times: Drain, refill with genuine NS-2 CVT fluid only, and then let the engine idle in Drive (with the vehicle
lifted off the ground).
3. Incorrect ethylene glycol-to-water mixture in the engines cooling system
The vehicles cooling system capacity is reduced when the concentration (percentage) of ethylene glycol is greater than 60%.
To check ethylene glycol concentration, use a refractometer.
^ For details on refractometer use, refer to bulletin NTB02-047.
Nissan recommends a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water for optimum performance. A percentage greater than 60% ethylene glycol will
reduce CVT fluid cooling capacity.

IMPORTANT:
When servicing a Nissan vehicle equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) make sure to use the appropriate Nissan CVT Fluid
specified in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM), Owners Manual or Service and Maintenance Guide. Using fluid other than that specified may
damage the CVT and is not covered by warranty.
^ NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 ("green fluid") - applies to all Nissan vehicles equipped with CVT except MY13 Altima. Use NS-2 green fluid to
service these vehicles.
^ New, unused service replacement CVTs may have some residual "blue" NS-3 fluid. However, these service replacement CVTs should be
filled with NS-2 green fluid. No draining is necessary.
^ NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 ("blue fluid") - applies to the 2013 Altima. Use NS-3 blue fluid to service these vehicles.
^ Use of any other type of fluid, including NS-2 green fluid, in the 2013 Altima vehicle may result in reduced fuel economy and/or affect
drivability.
Please refer to the table above, the ESM, Owners Manual or Service and Maintenance Guide.
