@OP: If you can use a multimeter, the FSM should have testing procedures to isolate the problem. If not in the FSM, the general procedure is the same for most cars and should be in the Chilton (or similar) books you can find at auto parts stores for recent Nissans with V-6s.

What makes you think it is overcharging? High reading on dash voltmeter? Burnt up battery? Something else?
