Could be the cold weather and properties of the belts?When it comes to belts,
sensors etc.I only use Nissan supplied stuff.

So roll with it for awhile and see if it changes? I followed the diy sticky and used my hand as a gauge for tension

My AC belt usually does this when the cold first hits. I just play with the tensioner until it's just right and the squealing stops.
