VOLT METER

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the volt meter indicates the battery voltage; while the engine is running, it indicates the alternator voltage of 11 - 15 volts (normal range A ). However, while cranking the engine, the volts drop below the normal range.

If the needle is not in the normal range A while the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
