On Board Self-Diagnosis FunctionAKS00BN2
DESCRIPTION

Diagnosis function consists of the self-diagnosis mode performed automatically and the CONFIRMATION/
ADJUSTMENT mode operated manually.

Self-diagnosis mode checks for connections between the units constituting this system, analyzes each
individual unit at the same time, and displays the results on the LCD screen.

CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT mode is used to perform trouble diagnosis that require operation and
judgment by an operator (malfunction that cannot be automatically judged by the system), to check/
change the set value, and to display the History of Errors of the navigation system.
DIAGNOSIS ITEM
NOTE:
Make the status that is set by D/N function be shown.
Mode Description
Self-diagnosis (DCU) Display control unit diagnosis
Self-diagnosis (NAVI)

NAVI Control unit diagnosis (DVD-ROM drive will not be diagnosed
when no map DVD-ROM is in it)

Analyzes connection between the NAVI control unit and the GPS
antenna connection between the NAVI control unit and each unit, and
operation of each unit.
Confirmation/
AdjustmentDisplay diagnosisOn display control unit mode, color tone and shading of the screen can be
checked by the display of a color bar and a gray scale.
Vehicle signalsOn display control unit mode, analyzes the following vehicle signals: Vehi-
cle speed signal, light signal
NOTE , ignition switch signal, and reverse sig-
nal.
Auto Climate Control A/C self-diagnosis of A/C system.
NavigationDisplay diagnosisOn NAVI C/U mode, color tone and shading of the screen can be checked
by the display of a color bar and a gray scale.
Vehicle signalsOn NAVI C/U mode, analyzes the following vehicle signals: Vehicle speed
signal, light signal, ignition switch signal, and reverse signal.
History of ErrorsDiagnosis results previously stored in the memory (before turning ignition
switch ON) are displayed in this mode. Time and location when/where the
errors occurred are also displayed.
Naviga-
tionDisplay Lon-
gitude & Lat-
itudeDisplay the map. Use the joystick to adjust position. Longitude and latitude
will be displayed.
Speed Cali-
brationUnder ordinary conditions, the navigation system distance measuring
function will automatically compensate for minute decreases in wheel and
tire diameter caused by tire wear or low -pressure. Speed calibration
immediately restores system accuracy in cases such as when distance
calibration is needed because of the use of tire chains in inclement
weather.
Angle

VOICE GUIDE
ROUTE SEARCH
NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities and the prefectural capitals (Malfunctioning areas may be changed in the updated map disc.) Symptom Cause Remedy
Voice guide will not operate. Note: Voice guide is only available at intersections
that satisfy certain conditions (indicated by
on
the map). Therefore, guidance may not be given
even when the route on the map changes direc-
tion.System is not malfunction.
The vehicle is not on the recommended route. Return to the recommended route or re-
search the route.
Voice guide is turned OFF. Turn voice guide ON.
Route guide is turned OFF. Turn route guide ON.
Voice guide does not match the
actual road pattern.Voice guide may vary with the direction to which
the vehicle is turn and the connection of the road
to other roads.Drive in conformity to the actual traffic rules.
Symptom Cause Remedy
No route is shown. No road to be searched is found around the des-
tination.Find wider road (orange road or wider)
nearby and reset the destination and passing
points onto it. Take care of the traveling
direction when there are separate up and
down roads.
Starting point and the destination are too close. Set the destination at more distant point.
Conditional traffic regulation (day of the week/
time of the day) is set at the area around the cur-
rent location or the destination.Turn the time-regulating search conditions
OFF. Turn “Avoid regulation time” in the
search conditions OFF.
Indicated route is intermittent. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not
used for the search
(Note) Therefore, the route to
the current location or the passing points may be
intermittent.System is not malfunction.
When the vehicle has passed the
recommended route, it is deleted
from the screen.A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing
point 1, then the map data from the starting point
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The
data may remain undeleted in some area.)System is not malfunction.
Detouring route is recommended. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not
used for the search. (Note). Therefore, detour
route may be recommended.Set the route closer to the basic route (gray
route).
A detour route may be shown when some traffic
regulation (one-way traffic, etc.) is set at the area
around the starting point or the destination.Slightly move the starting point or the desti-
nation, or set the passing point on the route
of your choice.
In the area where highways (gray routes) are
used for the search, left turn has priority around
the current location and the destination (passing
points). For this reason, the recommended route
may be detouring.System is not malfunction.
Landmarks on the map do not
match the actual ones.This can be happen due to omission or error in
the map data.As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be
released once a year. Wait until the latest
map has become available.
Recommended route is far from
the starting point, passing points,
and destination.Starting point, passing points, and destination of
the route guide were set far from the desired
points because route searching data around
these area were not stored.Reset the destination onto the road nearby. If
this road is one of the highways (gray
routes), an ordinary road nearby may be dis-
played as the recommended route.

CURRENT LOCATION MARK SHOWS A POSITION WHICH IS COMPLETELY WRONG
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear on completely different position in the map
depending on the GPS satellite signal receiving conditions. In this case, perform location correction and direc-
tion correction.

When location correction has not been done
–If the receiving conditions of the GPS satellite signal is poor, if the current-location mark becomes out of
place, it may move to a completely different location and not come back if location correction is not done.
The position will be corrected if the GPS signal can be received.

When the vehicle has traveled by ferry, or when the vehicle has been being towed
–Because calculation of the current location cannot be done when travelling with the ignition OFF, for
example when traveling by ferry or when being towed, the location before travel is displayed. If the precise
location can be detected with GPS, the location will be corrected.
CURRENT-LOCATION MARK JUMPS
In the following cases, the current-location mark may appear to jump as a result of automatic correction of the
current location.

When map matching has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when map matching is done, the current-
location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected” to the wrong road or to a
location which is not on a road.

When GPS location correction has been done
–If the current location and the current-location mark are different when the location is corrected using GPS
measurements, the current-location mark may seem to jump. At this time, the location may be “corrected”
to a location which is not on a road.
Precautions
for drivingJust after the engine is startedIf the vehicle is driven off just after the
engine is started when the gyroscope
(angular speed sensor) correction is not
completed, the vehicle can lose its direc-
tion and may have deviated from the cor-
rect location.Wait for a short while before
driving after starting the engine.
Continuous driving without stopping When driving long distances without stop-
ping, direction errors may accumulate, and
the current-location mark may deviate from
the correct road.Stop and adjust the orientation.
Abusive driving Spinning the wheels or engaging in other
kinds of abusive driving may result in the
system being unable perform correct
detection, and may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.If after travelling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
How to cor-
rect locationPosition correction accuracy
If the accuracy of location settings is poor,
accuracy may be reduced when the correct
road cannot be found, particularly in places
where there are many roads.Enter in the road displayed on
the screen with an accuracy of
approx. 1mm.
Caution: Whenever possible,
use detailed map for the cor-
rection.
Direction when location is corrected
If the accuracy of location settings during
correction is poor, accuracy may be
reduced afterwards.Perform direction correction. Cause (condition) –: While driving ooo: Display Driving condition Remarks (correction, etc.)

Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used in place of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle TroubleshootingAIS004LF
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.
