2006 Nissan Altima Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This 2006 Nissan Altima factory service and repair manual is written for this exact model year, so the specifications and repair sequences it gives are the ones Nissan documented for the 2.5L (QR25DE) and 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) engines rather than a generic Altima writeup.
Engines covered
- 3.5L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 2.5L inline-four (152 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Base
- S
- SE
- SE-R
- SL
Known issues on the 2006 Altima. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers a rear subframe bracket that may have been manufactured incorrectly and can crack, affecting suspension stability and raising the risk of a crash. The second covers 2.5L engines that can suffer excessive oil consumption from improperly performing piston rings, and if oil isn't kept at the minimum level, engine damage or, in extreme cases, an engine fire can result. The third covers certain aftermarket TYC halogen headlamp assemblies sold for 2005-2006 Altimas whose misaligned photometrics reduce frontal illumination and don't meet federal lighting standards. The fourth covers 2.5L-engine cars where the crankshaft position sensor can overheat and briefly interrupt its signal, and if the interruption is too brief for the ECM to diagnose, the engine may stop running without warning at low speed. Owners have filed 824 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're chasing an oil-consumption issue on the 2.5L, checking the rear subframe bracket, or working through a stall diagnosis on the crankshaft position sensor, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 Altima.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE REAR SUBFRAME MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRACK IN A BRACKET WHICH HOLDS PART OF THE REAR SUSPENSION.
Consequence
IF THE BRACKET IS CRACKED, THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE AFFECTED UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUBFRAME TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY AND REPLACE IT, IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-726
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER PERFORMANCE OF THE PISTON RINGS.
Consequence
IF THE OIL IS NOT MAINTAINED AT LEAST AT THE MINIMUM LEVEL, ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND IN EXTREME CASES RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM OR ENGINE COMPUTER). YOUR VEHICLE WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE. IN A

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAN OVERHEAT CAUSING A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
Consequence
IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNI
