What this manual has that the owner's manual does not

The owner's manual stops where the repair starts. The factory repair manual picks up from there:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: how to take parts out and put them back, the torque for every bolt, fault codes and complete wiring diagrams

The 2004 Maxima belongs to the sixth-generation Maxima (A34), model years 2004–2008. As the first year of the generation, it shares little with the older model; use procedures for this year only.

Jobs owners of a 22-year-old Maxima look up most

• Rubber hoses, seals and gaskets
• Rust repair and body panels
• Fuel pump, filter and lines
• Brake lines, hoses and master cylinder
• Ignition components and idle problems
