How to Proceed With Trouble DiagnosisEKS00B8Z
1. Confirm the symptom or customer complaint.
2. Understand operation description and function description. Refer to LT- 4 8 , "
System Description" .
3. Carry out the Preliminary Check. Refer to LT- 5 5 , "
Preliminary Check" .
4. Check symptom and repair or replace the cause of malfunction. Refer to LT- 6 2 , "
Trouble Diagnosis Chart
by Symptom" .
5. Does the auto light system operate normally? If YES: GO TO 6. If NO: GO TO 4.
6. Inspection End.
Preliminary CheckEKS00B90
SETTING CHANGE FUNCTIONS

Sensitivity of auto light system can be adjusted using CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 5 8 , "WORK SUPPORT" .
CHECK POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
1. CHECK FUSES OR FUSIBLE LINK
Check for blown fuses or fusible link.
Refer to LT- 5 0 , "

CONSULT-II Function (BCM)EKS00B91
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II OPERATION
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II and CON-
SULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector, then turn igni-
tion switch ON.
2. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)".
3. Touch "BCM" on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. If "BCM" is not indicated, go to GI-40, "
CONSULT-II Data Link
Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
