CHARGING SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
CHARGING SYSTEMPFP:23100
System DescriptionNKS002UV
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link block)

to alternator terminal 4 (“S” terminal).
“B” Terminal supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (“S” terminal) detecting the input voltage.
The charging circuit is protected by the 120A fusible link (VK45DE and VQ35DE AWD).
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 7 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminal 2

through alternator terminal 3 (“L” terminal)

to alternator terminal 2 (“E” terminal) (VK45DE) or through case ground (VQ35DE)

through ground E304 (VK45DE).
With power and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing suf-
ficient voltage with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate charge warning lamp, if any of the following symp-
toms occur while alternator is operating:

Excessive voltage is produced.

No voltage is produced.

AWD SYSTEMPFP:41650
Power Transfer DiagramNDS0009U
System DescriptionNDS0009V
DESCRIPTION

Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to rear-wheel drive.

Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:

When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distri-
bution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.

If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AWD system will be restored.

When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in diameter of the
tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving is required. (Continues
until engine is turned OFF.)

If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.

When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel mode the shift occasionally
changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationNDS0009X
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
For details, refer to LAN-32, "
CAN Communication Unit" .
Component parts Function
AWD control unit

Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from rear wheel driving
mode (0:100) to AWD mode (50:50).

2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in AWD system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
AWD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by command current from AWD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to front final drive.
AWD warning lamp

Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of AWD system.

There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.

There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit) Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Vehicle speed signal

Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ECM Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Accelerator pedal position signal

Engine speed signal
Unified meter and A/C amp. Transmits conditions of parking brake switch via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Detects frequency of driving after DTC occurs (frequency
of turning ignition switch “ON/OFF”).
Display Item List
CAUTION:

If “CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communica-
tion line.

Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driving for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more after
turning ignition switch “OFF” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunction of “ABS SYSTEM [C1203]”. AWD
warning lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that. Diagnostic test mode Function
