PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
[ICC]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AKS007IE
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for ICC System ServiceAKS006Y8

Do not look straight into the laser beam discharger when adjusting laser beam aiming.

Turn the ON/OFF switch OFF in conditions similar to driving, suchlike Free rollers or Chassis dynamome-
ter.

Do not use the ICC sensor removing from vehicle, disassemble, or remodel the sensor.

Erase DTC when replacing parts of ICC system, then check the operation of ICC system after adjusting
laser beam aiming if necessary.
Wiring Diagrams and Trouble Diagnosis AKS006Y9
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the followings:

Refer to GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams" in GI section

Refer to PG-3, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" for power distribution circuit in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the followings:

Refer to GI-11, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES" in GI section

When operation is not completed within 10 seconds, start again from above go to 2.
4. DTC 55 will be shown.
CAUTION:
DTC of an existing malfunction will not be erased.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF to exit the diagnosis.
6. Perform ICC system running test (drive vehicle with ICC system ON), and make sure that ICC system
warning lamp (yellow) does not illuminate.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYMPTOMS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Symptom 4: The ICC System Is Not Cancelled When the Gear Is in Other Than
‘D’.
AKS006ZR
1. CHECK D RANGE SWITCH
With CONSULT-II
1. With data monitor, check that “D RANGE SW” operates normally.Refer to ACS-32, "
DATA MONITOR" .
OK or NG
OK >> After replacing ICC unit, erase DTC. Perform ICC system running test, and then perform self-diag-
nosis of ICC system again.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION
With CONSULT-II
1. With CONSULT-II self-diagnosis, check that “CAN COMM CIRCUIT” item exists.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Refer to ACS-41, "
DTC 20 CAN COMM CIRCUIT" .
3. CHECK D RANGE SWITCH
1. With TCM data monitor, check that “D” position switch operates normally.
OK or NG
OK >> After replacing ICC unit. Perform ICC system running test, and then perform self-diagnosis of ICC
system again.
NG >> After repairing or replacing malfunctioning part. Perform ICC system running test, and then per-
form self-diagnosis of ICC system again.
Symptom 5: Chime Does Not Sound.AKS006ZS
The chime may not sound occasionally in the following cases even if the distance from the vehicle ahead is
short:

When the speed difference from that of the vehicle ahead is small (both vehicles driving at similar speed).

When the vehicle ahead drives at faster speed (the actual distance is increasing).

When depressing the accelerator.

Chime does not sound when the vehicle is not driving.

Chime does not sound when the system does not detect any vehicle ahead. (Diagnose the conditions
under which the system is detecting the vehicle ahead and when the system is malfunctioning. If there is
any malfunction in detecting the vehicle ahead, check the system following the ACS-63, "
Symptom 7: The
ICC System Frequently Cannot Detect the Vehicle Ahead/The Detection Zone Is Short." .
1. CHECK ICC WARNING CHIME
With CONSULT-II
1. With active test, check that ICC warning chime operates normally.
OK or NG
OK >> Determine preceding vehicle detection status when malfunction occurred. If chime should have
sounded: after replacing ICC unit. Perform ICC system running test, and then perform self-diag-
nosis of ICC system again.
NG >> GO TO 2.

e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
To check fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid
charging pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the A/T fluid
charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
6. Make the fluid temperature approximately 65°C (149°F).
NOTE:
Fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in the figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform level check operation checking warm up condition with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of approximately 65°C (149°F) using “HOT” range on A/T fluid
level gauge.
CAUTION:

When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.

To check fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until
the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging pipe,
with the gauge rotated from the normal attachment condi-
tions as shown.
8. Check fluid condition.

If fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.

If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-14,
"RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE) or CO-39, "RADIATOR" (for
VK45DE) and AT- 1 4 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
How To Perform Trouble Diagnosis For Quick and Accurate RepairACS007A4
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position
sensor) or PNP switch and provides shift control or lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing elements used with the OBD-related parts of the
A/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is capa-
ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store mal-
functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a error that occurs intermittently
rather than continuously. Most intermittent errors are caused by poor
electric connections or improper wiring. In this case, careful check-
ing of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good
parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the errors. A road test
with CONSULT-II (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should be
performed. Follow the AT- 4 5 , "
WORK FLOW" .
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a drive ability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such errors, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” as
shown on the example (Refer to AT- 4 6
) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” errors first. This will
help troubleshoot drive ability errors on an electronically controlled
engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins.
