SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramAFS001SB
VDC FunctionAFS001SC

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steer-
ing / over steering) is determined from information from G-sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information
is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.

SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.

ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is sub-
ject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehicle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope
such as bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning
lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.
TCS FunctionAFS001SD

The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the
wheel speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs, drive wheel right and left brake fluid pres-
sure control and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine
torque and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree throttle is opened is controlled to
achieve the optimum engine torque.

Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.

TCS may be activated any time vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/upshifts, or is driven on a
road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
ABS FunctionAFS001SE

The anti-lock brake system is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves han-
dling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.

If the electrical system breaks down, then the fail-safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoperative, and
ABS warning lamp turns on.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Note 1: After completing repairs of shorted sensor circuit, when turn ignition switch ON, ABS warning lamp
turned on. Check that ABS warning lamp turned off while driving vehicle at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH)
or more for approximately 1 minute according to self-diagnosis procedure. In addition, if wheel sensor 2 is dis-
played for wheels, check wheel sensor circuit and also check ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
power voltage.
Note 2: If multiple malfunctions are detected including CAN communication line [U1000], perform diagnosis for
CAN communication line first.
Note 3: “ACTUATOR RLY” on the CONSULT-II self-diagnostic results indicates the malfunction of actuator
relay or circuit. Actuator relay is imbedded in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
DATA MONITOR
Operation Procedure
1. After turning OFF ignition switch, connect CONSULT-II and CONVERTER to data link connector.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “DATA MONITOR” in order on the CONSULT-II screen.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go to GI-40, "

System DescriptionAKS005MH
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled by the
unified meter control unit, which is built into the combination meter. Unified meter control unit receives sig-
nals from unified meter and A/C amp.

Warning lamp and indicator lamp of combination meter are controlled by signals drawn from the unified
meter and A/C amp.

Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter*.
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.

Odo/trip meter, A/T indicator and ICC system display segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination Control
The unified meter control unit outputs the odo/trip meter and A/T
indicator lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When the
lighting switch is turned on, light on for the combination meter dial,
illumination control switch and external lighting are output. In addi-
tion, when the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control
switch on the left side of the combination meter can be used to
adjust the brightness of each light. The brightness can be adjusted
to sixteen different levels: From 0 (no lights) to 15 (maximum).
Pressing the illumination control switch will brighten or darken the
lights. When the key switch is in the START position, the combina-
tion meter dial lighting and illumination control switch lighting are
turned off.

WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
ECM provides a water temperature signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line. Uni-
fied meter and A/C amp. provides a water temperature signal to combination meter for water temperature
gauge with communication line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
ECM provides an engine speed signal to unified meter and A/C amp. with CAN communication line. Unified
meter and A/C amp. provides an engine speed signal to combination meter for tachometer with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied

from unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 36

through the fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump (main) terminals 5 and 2, and

through the fuel level sensor unit (sub) terminals 2 and 1

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 28 for the fuel gauge.
Unified meter and A/C amp. provides an fuel level signal to combination meter for fuel gauge with communica-
tion line between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.
SPEEDOMETER
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provides a vehicle speed signal to the unified meter and A/C amp.
with CAN communication line. After unified meter and A/C amp. received the vehicle speed signal, it changes
the signal to 8 pulse signal and provides the 8 pulse signal to the combination meter for the speedometer.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

Odo/trip meter segment, A/T indicator segment and ICC system display segment operation can be
checked in self-diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in self-diagnosis mode.
HOW TO ALTERNATE DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON, and switch the odo/trip meter to “trip A” or “trip B”.
NOTE:
If the diagnosis function is activated with the trip meter A displayed, the mileage on the trip meter A will
indicate 0000.0, but the actual trip mileage will be retained. (Trip B operates the same way.)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
