2001 Nissan Sentra Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 Nissan Sentra is built around this exact year, engine and trim combination, so the procedures inside — down to the QG18DE and SR20DE engine specifications and torque values — are the ones Nissan actually published for your car, not a generic stand-in from another Sentra generation.

- 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan

Known issues on the 2001 Sentra. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Replacement headlamp assemblies sold for these vehicles could ship without the required amber side reflectors, leaving the car poorly illuminated and raising crash risk. Steel wheels with manufacturing burrs around their cooling holes could develop cracks that propagate and cause the wheel to separate from the hub without warning. Sulfur emitted by the ECM box's interior foam lining could corrode an internal resistor, triggering the malfunction indicator light, rough idle or poor acceleration, or an outright engine stall during driving. A solder defect on the crank or cam position sensor's circuit board could cause the "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light to come on, a no-start condition, reduced power, or the engine stopping without warning. Some vehicles left the factory missing the tamperproof caps meant to prevent unauthorized horizontal headlamp adjustment. A front suspension transverse link's ball joint bracket could break from stress concentration at a manufacturing notch. A defective crank position sensor could cause the 1.8L engine to stop running while the vehicle is in motion. And one or more of the three bolts securing each front lower control arm to the body could have been improperly manufactured and fracture under load. Owners have filed 249 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 tracing an ECM-related stall to inspecting a lower control arm bolt or a front suspension ball joint, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 Sentra.
