Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Service Manual: Replacement Operations
Precautions for Body Repair
WARNING:
-
The repair information in this section is intended for trained body repair technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience (e.g. ASE Collision Repair Certification, I-CAR Professional Development Program [PDP] training, etc.) in repairing collision damaged Nissan Ariya vehicles using appropriate tools and equipment. Performing repairs without the proper training, tools or equipment could damage the Nissan Ariya vehicle or cause personal injury or death to you or others.
-
The information in this Body Repair Manual is a guideline for repairing collision damaged Nissan Ariya vehicles. However, this information cannot cover all possible ways that a vehicle can be damaged. As such, the body repair technician is responsible for making sure that the repair does not affect the structural integrity or safety of the Nissan Ariya vehicle. Improper repair of a damaged vehicle may result in a collision, property damage, personal injury or death.
-
Nissan recommends using only new genuine Nissan replacement body parts. Use of used, salvaged or aftermarket body parts is not recommended by Nissan. Non-genuine Nissan components may affect the Nissan Ariya vehicle's structural integrity and crash safety performance, which could result in serious personal injury or death in an accident.
Description
-
Technicians are encouraged to read the Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) in order to ensure that the original functions and quality of the Nissan Ariya vehicle are maintained. The Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) contains additional information, including cautions and warnings, that are not including in this manual. Technicians should refer to both manuals to ensure proper repair.
-
Please note that this information is prepared for worldwide usage, and as such, certain procedures might not apply in some regions or countries.
The symbols used in this section for welding operations are shown below.
| Symbol marks | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| ″Number″ |
″Number″ after symbol mark is the total number of welds to apply. Example 1: ″1″× 20 (0.79) = 1 MAG seam weld by length 20 mm (0.79 in). |

-
Front pillar butt joint can be determined anywhere within shaded area as shown in the figure. The best location for the butt joint is at position A due to the construction of the Nissan Ariya vehicle.

-
Determine cutting position and record distance from the locating indent. Use this distance when cutting the service part. Cut outer front pillar over 60 mm (2.36 in) above the inner front pillar cut position.

-
Prepare a cutting jig to make outer pillar easier to cut. Also, this will permit the service part to be accurately cut at the joint position.

-
An example of cutting operation using a cutting jig is as per the following.

-
Mark cutting lines.
A: Cut position of outer pillar
B: Cut position of inner pillar
-
Align cutting line with notch on jig. Clamp jig to pillar.
-
Cut outer pillar along groove of jig (at position A).
-
Remove jig and cut remaining portions.
-
Cut inner pillar at position B in same manner.
Welding of Ultra High Strength Steel
SPOT WELDING
Spot welding is limited to ultra high strength steel (tensile strength: 980 MPa) according to the welding conditions listed below.
CAUTION:
-
If the below welding conditions cannot be met, then perform plug welding.
-
Never spot weld ultra high strength steel of tensile strength more than 980 MPa. For this type of ultra high strength steel, perform plug welding.
-
The below welding condition is applicable only to this Nissan Ariya vehicle. Never apply this same welding condition to other vehicles.
| Welder tip diameter | 6 mm |
| Welding pressure (Gun force) | 3650 N |
| Welding current | 8010 A |
| Weld time | 0.2 sec (10 cyc: 50 Hz area, 12 cyc: 60 Hz area) |
| Panel configuration | Combination of a plate of tensile strength 980 MPa and that of tensile strength less than 980 MPa. (Up to 3 plates) |
PLUG WELDING
To weld ultra high strength steel of tensile strength 980 MPa or more, perform plug welding observing the welding hole diameter described in the manual.
CAUTION:
-
To perform plug welding, use fuel mixture (Ar 80% + CO2 20%) for shielding gas of welder.
-
Never use carbon dioxide gas (CO2 100%) as shielding gas of welder. Using CO2 100% gas results in inadequate weld strength.
-
When welding hole diameter cannot be met, make multiple holes (smaller diameter) so that the sum of the hole areas equals the area of the original weld hole.
