1. CHECK ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) FUSES
Check 30A fusible link h and 40A fusible link i for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). For fusible link
layout, refer to PG-4, "
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> If fusible link is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of problem before replacing.
2. CHECK ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connec- tor.
2. Check voltage between ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector terminal 1 and ground and terminal 32 and
ground.
Does battery voltage exist?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair harness or connectors between fusible link and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. CHECK ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) GROUND CIRCUIT
Check continuity between ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) connector terminal 16 and ground and terminal 47 and ground.
Does continuity exist?
YES >> Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to BRC-66, "
Removal and Installation" .
NO >> Repair harness or connectors between ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and ground.

PRECAUTIONS
2006 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EBS00RE2
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 Liquid GasketEBS00RE3
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface
and remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it.

In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface using suitable tool.

Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.Tool number

ENGINE COOLANTPFP:KQ100
InspectionEBS00RE9
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to
MAX level when engine is cool.

Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from
high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.

To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at
the reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system
with engine coolant.

If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP

Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.
NOTE:
Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.

Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Inspect the radiator cap.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.

Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.

Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or the
metal retainer.
Changing Engine CoolantEBS00REA
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around the cap to carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a
turn to release any built-up pressure, then push down and turn the cap all the way to remove it.

System DescriptionEKS00BBU
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage gauge, A/T oil temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition
switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust
the brightness of the combination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will
remain off for 0.7 seconds. For additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT- 1 5 7 ,

Perform combination meter self-diagnosis. Refer to DI-13, "
SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION" .
Does self-diagnosis function operate?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check combination meter power supply and ground circuit. Refer to DI-18, "
Power Supply and
Ground Circuit Inspection" .
3. CHECK ODOMETER OPERATION
Check segment display status of odometer.
Is the display normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to IP-13, "
COM-
BINATION METER" .
4. CHECK COMBINATION METER CIRCUIT
Check indication of each meter/gauge in self-diagnosis mode.
