1. Unscrew the shift knob by rotating it counter-clockwise and put it in a safe place. Remove the small plastic adapter at the base of the shift knob (pictured lower left) as well. Keep this piece for re-installation later. 2. Remove the ashtray in front of the shifter. 3. Remove the small storage compartment in front of the handbrake by pulling up on it as pictured to the left. 4. Begin removal of the center console by lifting the rear portion that surrounds the handbrake. Be sure the storage compartment lid is open to allow the back half of the rear portion to move freely. 5. The front portion of the rear half of the console can now be lifted and separated from the rest of the console. It is held in place by clips from underneath so it will pop free by lifting upward. 6. Turn this portion of the console on it’s side to gain access to the wires beneath it. Disconnect the plastic connector for the heated seats switches. 7. Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the 2 screws directly behind the shifter. 8. The front portion of the console with the shift boot attached can now be lifted, however it cannot be removed from the car yet as there is a clip holding a wire at the front which must be removed as shown in the next step. 9. Use needle nose pliers to compress the tabs on the clip at the front part of this section. With the tabs depressed, the clip can be pushed through and out from the under side. 10. Turn this portion of the console over and disconnect the plastic plug for the lighter by pulling on the plastic portion. Do not pull on the wires. There are no tabs to depress on this clip, the connector simply slides off. The front portion of the console can now be removed from the car and put in a safe place. 11. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 2 screws in front of the shifter that have been exposed by removing the front portion of the console in the previous step.

ACTIONS • Replace the starter motor. • Add 1 can of Nissan Fuel System Cleaner into the fuel tank. • Perform ECM Part Number Check to see if the vehicle you are working on needs ECM Reprogramming. • Perform ECM Reprogramming, if needed. SERVICE PROCEDURE Replace Starter, Add Cleaner 1. Replace the starter motor. • Use the part number from the Parts Information section of this bulletin. • Refer to section SC, “STARTING SYSTEM, Removal and Installation” in the applicable Nissan Electronic Service Manual (ESM). 2. Add one full can of Nissan In-Tank Fuel System Cleaner to the fuel. NOTE: If the fuel tank is less than ¾ full, instruct the customer to fill the tank as soon as it is convenient after the repair.
