2010 Nissan Sentra Service and Repair Manual

This 2010 Nissan Sentra factory service and repair manual is built around the exact engine, trim and model-year combination you own, whether your Sentra carries the 2.0L MR20DE or the 2.5L QR25DE, so the torque values and procedures inside are the ones Nissan actually specified rather than a generic stand-in.

Known issues on the 2010 Sentra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two trace back to the positive battery terminal cable: on one production run a machining irregularity left a gap in the terminal's contact area, and on another the zinc coating on the terminal stud bolt was applied too thick, and in both cases the resulting voltage drop can cause hard starting or a stall while the car is moving, with possible damage to the engine control module and increased crash risk. The third covers Garmin nuvi 750 navigation units installed in some Sentras, whose batteries could overheat. Owners have filed 144 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a hard-start battery cable inspection to a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2010 Sentra.
