What is a Factory Service Manual?
If you plan to do your own work on your Nissan, whether it be routine maintenance or more in-depth projects, you’ll want to have access to a Factory Service Manual (FSM). These manuals are significantly better, and more accurate, than a Haynes or Chiltons manual, since the information is developed by the manufacturer to be used by Nissan-trained technicians.

Inside each FSM, you’ll find repair information that the dealer-trained service technicians use everyday. While the FSM is intended for professionally-trained technicians with high levels of automotive experience and skill, don’t let that scare you. Even if you’re not an advanced do-it-yourself owner, we’re here to help.
Another benefit of having an FSM on hand is that occasionally, reference will be made to special tools and other information uniquely known by the dealership service centers.
Yet another benefit to the FSM is that they often include additional troubleshooting tips, routine maintenance hints, and model-specific repair information.
