PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
ABS00A37
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

Refer to GI-27, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" in GI section

DESCRIPTION
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineAKS006YB
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the same speed as other vehicles can be maintained without the
constant need to adjust the operating speed as with a normal cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following another vehicle in the same
lane and direction.
If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle
ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster even with light pedal force.
When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver depress
the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) operating instructions.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Set Checking
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models) and 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA
models).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as hand is released from the COAST/SET switch.
NOTE:

When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.

When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.

The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meters.
Check For Increase Of The Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 MPH (1 km/h for CANADA models) as ACCEL/RES switch is
pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 90 MPH (144 km/h for CANADA
models).
Check For Decrease Of The Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 MPH (1 km/h for CANADA models) as COAST/SET switch is
pushed.
NOTE:

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 20
MPH (32 km/h for CANADA models) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA
models).
Check For The Cancellation Of Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode (Normal Driving
Condition) In The Following Cases:
1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned on.
2. When the select lever is shifted into other than “D” including manual shift.
3. When the ON/OFF switch is turned off.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
Check For Restoring The Speed That Is Set By Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode
Before Cancellation
1. Cancel the system by depressing the foot brake.Then, check that the speed before cancellation is
restored when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with 25 MPH (40 km/h for CANADA models) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the select lever into other than “D”, Then, check if the speed set before the
cancellation is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is operated with driving 25 MPH
(40 km/h for CANADA models), after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the
CANCEL switch.

ACTION TEST
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
Check For ON/OFF Switch
1. Start the engine.Then, check the following operations are car-
ried correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed in speed-
ometer illuminates when ON/OFF switch is pressed “ON” for
less than 1.5 seconds and ready for operation.The illumination
goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. “CRUISE” illumination and ICC system display go off when the
key switch is turned to OFF while ON/OFF switch is ON
(“CRUISE” illumination is ON and vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode is ready for operation).
Check For ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL Switches

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineAKS006YI
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:

Place the vehicle on the level ground when the laser beam aiming adjustment is operated.

Follow the CONSULT-II when adjusting the Laser beam aiming (Laser beam aiming adjustment
cannot be operated without CONSULT-II).
PreparationAKS006YJ

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure value.

See that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.

Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.

Clean the sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureAKS006YK
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II (Turn manually the screw for up-down position
adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.).
Setting the ICC Target BoardAKS006YL
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale as shown in the right figure.
