1998 Nissan Frontier Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This manual is built for the 1998 Nissan Frontier alone, covering the 2.4L four-cylinder (KA24DE) as Nissan documented it for this specific year, engine and trim rather than a generalized compact-truck writeup.
Engines covered
- 2.4L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 2-door standard cab pickup
- 2-door extended cab pickup
Trims covered
- Base
- SE
- XE
Known issues on the 1998 Frontier. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover aftermarket combination corner and headlamp assemblies sold as replacement parts for the truck that lack the required amber side reflectors, which can leave the vehicle poorly illuminated and increase crash risk. A fourth covers front seat belts on bucket-seat models, where the webbing can slip between the seat bottom finisher and the recliner handle and be cut by the handle's sharp metal edge, raising injury risk in a frontal crash. The fifth covers automatic transmission models, where a securing pin inside the shift control assembly can come loose and let the lever move out of Park with the key still in the ignition, risking a crash if the parking brake isn't set. Owners have filed 135 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a seat belt webbing inspection to a shift interlock check or routine KA24DE service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1998 Frontier.
