*1: For further details, see “Engine Oil Recommendation”.
*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new
vehicle limited warranty.
*3: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0 °C (32 °F).
*4: Canada NISSAN Au tomatic Transmission Fluid or DEXRON
TM VI type ATF may also be used.
*5: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your INFINITI dealer.
Engine Oil RecommendationINFOID:0000000001328898
NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conser ving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the c ontainer. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temper ature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checki ng data with CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65 °C (149 °F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
 When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
 To check A/T fluid level, inser t the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the en d of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.  If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
 If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-13
(for
VQ35DE) or CO-40
(for VK45DE) and AT-13, "A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
 All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 3 seconds have elapsed after CAN communica-
tion with other control units is st opped, mode switches to sleep status.
3. Sleep status  IPDM E/R operates in low power mode.
 CAN communication is stopped.
 When a change in CAN communication line is detected, mode switches to CAN communication status.
 When a change hood switch or ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication
status.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328871
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. Modern
vehicles are equipped with many electronic control units and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitINFOID:0000000001328872
Refer to LAN-43, "CAN System Specification Chart".
Function of Detecting I gnition Relay MalfunctionINFOID:0000000001328873
 When contact point of integrated ignition relay is st uck and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/R turns ON park-
ing, license plate, side marker and tail lamps for 10 minutes to indicate ignition relay malfunction.
 When a state of ignition relay having built-in does not agr ee with a state of ignition switch signal input by a
CAN communication from BCM, IPDM E/R lets tail lamp relay operate.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the tail lamps are OFF.
CONSULT-III Function (IPDM E/R)INFOID:0000000001328874

AWD SYSTEM
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 accordingto 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 sen-
sors.
 Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force- AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.
