Nissan Altima 2007–2010 Service Manual Set (P/N SM7E-1L32U0)

Select the year and powertrain folder before using the individual system chapters. The gasoline and Hybrid publications contain different diagnostic routines, electrical layouts, and transaxle service information.

Coverage limitations: The 2007 Hybrid folder lacks the Engine Control, Hybrid Control, and Roof chapters. The 2009 Hybrid folder lacks Door & Lock, Interior Lighting, and Seat chapters; the 2007 gasoline folder lacks Body Repair. Four reference-chart pages in the 2007 gasoline foreword concern the G35, not the Altima.

PDF Search, Bookmarks, and File Condition

Text search and diagram detail: Chapter text is searchable, but many wiring-diagram labels are embedded in graphics. Bookmarks are available in many chapters rather than throughout the set, and some links between files do not resolve. Small circuit labels require zooming.

Damaged files: The 2009 gasoline LU.pdf and 2009 Hybrid LAN.pdf have structural errors and may require PDF repair before opening. Pages 8 and 42 of 2009/INL.pdf have missing page objects and are unavailable.

The ZIP contains 428 printable PDFs totaling 41,786 PDF page positions, including the two unavailable positions noted above. The total also includes 56 foreword/reference-chart pages and one separate index page.

Engine, Drivetrain, and Hybrid Repair Coverage

The following selected repair and diagnostic topics show the scope of the publications. Additional sections cover equipment such as tire-pressure monitoring and windshield wiper systems.

• Engine mechanical: Step-by-step engine removal, timing-chain service, cylinder-head work, cylinder-block disassembly, internal inspection, and piston and bearing selection.

• Engine management: DTC diagnosis, sensor and actuator circuit tests, fuel-system checks, and accelerator-pedal and throttle-learning procedures in the applicable engine-control chapters.

• Transmission and clutch: Manual transaxle disassembly and inspection, clutch service, CVT diagnosis and removal, and Hybrid transaxle removal and installation.

• Brakes and chassis: Hydraulic brake service, ABS/TCS/VDC troubleshooting, steering-angle sensor adjustment, suspension inspection, and axle and wheel-bearing work.

• Hybrid systems: High-voltage battery diagnosis and service, with inverter, motor/generator, and hybrid-control diagnosis in the included 2008–2010 HBC chapters.

• Electrical and multimedia: Wiring diagrams, connector layouts, terminal reference values, CAN diagnosis, and base/Bose audio, navigation, Bluetooth, and satellite-radio troubleshooting.

These publications suit technicians familiar with automotive electrical testing and CONSULT-III diagnostics; high-voltage inspection and service require the special training specified in the Hybrid manuals.

Mechanical Repair and Variant-Specific Service

The engine chapters separate QR25DE and VQ35DE procedures, including compression testing, valve-clearance inspection, timing components, and internal wear measurements. Piston and bearing selection tables connect measured dimensions with the appropriate service grades.

The transmission chapters distinguish conventional CVTs from the Hybrid transaxle. Their fluid specifications and diagnostic procedures are not interchangeable.

For manual-transaxle work, the instructions identify a specific concentric slave-cylinder concern: contamination associated with transaxle removal can damage the CSC seal and cause clutch-fluid leakage.

Circuit Diagnosis and Audio Equipment

Audio coverage distinguishes body style, base and Bose equipment, and systems with or without navigation. These distinctions help technicians select the correct circuit before testing, rather than applying a Bose pin-out to a base system or a Sedan circuit to a Coupe.

Audio-unit and satellite-radio terminal charts provide pin functions, reference voltages, and RX/TX waveform information for comparison with oscilloscope readings. Steering-switch resistance tests and speaker-harness continuity tables support fault isolation beyond replacing the audio unit.

Diagram examples include Base Audio System wiring diagrams, Bose Audio Without Navigation circuits, AV Control Unit wiring diagrams, Hybrid Control System diagrams, and MG ECU terminal layouts. Exploded views show accelerator-pedal, speaker, engine, and transaxle assemblies.

The accelerator-pedal section covers assembly removal, installation, and inspection. Its integrated sensors are not serviceable separately; opening the assembly can damage the sensor unit.

Hybrid, Brake, and Body Systems

The Hybrid chapters address battery monitoring, battery cooling, inverter operation, and motor/generator control. Their terminal data and DTC procedures distinguish electrical faults from cooling-system and communication problems.

Brake-control chapters provide diagnostic workflows alongside mechanical brake service. Body-repair chapters in the applicable folders add alignment drawings, corrosion protection, sealing information, and panel-replacement operations.

Observe the applicable SRS and high-voltage precautions before electrical service. Hybrid high-voltage work requires trained personnel and the specified protective equipment.

A Preview of Front Brake Wear Specifications

For the 2010 non-hybrid Altima’s Kiriu front brakes, the tables specify new brake-pad thickness of 11.0 mm and a wear limit of 2.0 mm.

The front disc-rotor specifications distinguish 26.0 mm new thickness from a 24.0 mm wear limit, with separate checks for thickness variation and installed runout.
