1999 Nissan Sentra Service and Repair Manual
This 1999 Nissan Sentra factory service and repair manual is built around the exact year, engine and trim of your car, including the 1.6L GA16DE and 2.0L SR20DE four-cylinders, so the specs and procedures inside are what Nissan published for your Sentra and not a stand-in from another model year.

Known issues on the 1999 Sentra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tied to aftermarket exterior lighting: replacement corner, bumper and headlight assemblies sold without the required amber side reflectors, which fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 and can leave the Sentra poorly illuminated, raising the risk of a crash without warning. Owners have filed 70 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the Sentra's lighting circuits and every other system are here.
Whether you're sorting out a lighting issue, chasing a GA16DE or SR20DE driveability concern, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct spec for your specific 1999 Sentra.
