Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation InspectionNKS003NQ
CAUTION:

For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the battery cable at the negative ter-
minal measures the charging/discharging current of the battery, and performs various controls. If
the electrical component or the ground wire is connected directly to the battery terminal, the cur-
rent other than that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging
from the battery. This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery dis-
charge may occur. Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the bat-
tery terminal.

When performing this inspection, always use the charged battery that completed the battery
inspection. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage
change will become slow. This is a cause of an incorrect inspection.)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ECM (CONSULT-II)

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to SE-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces=higher pitch noise/softer surfaces=lower pitch noises/edge to surface=chirping

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0025R

The system automatically moves the driver seat, steering and door mirror position by the driver seat con-
trol unit and the automatic drive positioner control unit. The driver seat control unit corresponds with the
automatic drive positioner control unit via UART communication. The driver seat control unit can store the
optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver
changes, one-touch operation allows changing to the other driving position.

The driver seat, steering and door mirror position are adjusted automatically to the proper positions for the
driver in different ways: MEMORY OPERATION, EXITING OPERATION, ENTRY OPERATION and
INTELLIGENT KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with the power seat switch, ADP
steering switch and door mirror control switch.
NOTE:
The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch in either ACC or ON.
MEMORY OPERATION
The driver seat control unit can store the optimum driving positions (seat, steering and door mirror position) for
2 people. If the front seat position is changed, one-touch (pressing desired memory switch for more than 0.5
second) operation allows changing to the other driving position.
Operation procedure
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Press desired memory switch for 0.5 second. (Indicator LED illuminates.)
3. Driver seat, steering and door mirror will move to the memorized position.
(Indicator LED blinks during adjustment, then illuminates for 5 seconds.)
Operation Condition
If the following conditions are not satisfied, memory switch operation is not performed.

Ignition switch is in ON position.

Driver side power seat switch, ADP steering switch and door mirror control switch are not operated.

Seat memory switch and set switch are not operated.

Output malfunction is not detected.

CAN and UART communications are normal.

A/T selector lever position is in P position.

Detention switch malfunction is not detected.
[Detention switch malfunction is sensed when detention switch remains OFF, vehicle speed is higher than
7 km/H. (4 MPH).]

Input voltage from tilt sensor and telescopic sensor are normal.
NOTE:
The memory operation operates following order.
Function Description
Manual operationThe driving position (seat, steering and door mirror position) can be adjusted with
the power seat switch ADP steering switch or door mirror control switch.
Auto-
matic
operationMemory operation The seat, steering and door mirror move to the stored driving position by pushing
seat memory switch (1 or 2).
Entry/
Exiting
functionExiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and the steering wheel moves upward.
Entry operationAt entry, the seat and steering wheel returns from exiting position to the previous
driving position before the exiting operation.

AWD SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
AWD SYSTEMPFP:41650
Power Transfer DiagramNDS000DB
System DescriptionNDS000DC
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 the shift occasionally changes
to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. Control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
4. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.

Transmission torque to front wheels is determined according
to command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT

Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive
(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from
sensors.

Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.
