DELAY TIMER FUNCTION
Delay timer function carries out a function that BCM ac tivates the timer and controls lights out of headlamps by
door switch signal and lightning switch signal when turn ing the Ignition switch OFF while it is ON and head-
lamps are ON by the auto light function.
Timer types are a 5 minute timer and a 45 second timer
 When opening any door (door switch is ON), the 5 mi nute timer starts and then headlamps go out 5 minutes
later
 When all the doors are closed (from door switch ON to OFF), the 45 second timer starts and then headlamps go out 45 seconds later. If any door is opened (door switch ON) while the 45 second timer is in operation, the
5 minute timer starts again
 The timer stops when turning on the ignition switch or turning off the auto light switch under the above condi-
tions.
Delay timer control mode can be changed by the f unction setting of CONSULT-III or display.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328308
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 s peed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CA N communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check
the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highl y probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.

 Oil pans (lower and upper)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter
 Oil filter bracket (AWD models)
 Oil cooler

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328870
 IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engi ne Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It c ontrols integrated relay via IPDM E/R control circuit.
 IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, and hood switch signal reception, etc.
 It controls operation of each electrical pa rt via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integr ated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R receives a request signal fr om each control unit with CAN communication. It controls each system.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control uni t using two communication lines (CAN-L line, CAN-H
line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of in formation with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
Fail- Safe Control
 When CAN communication with other control units is impos sible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After
CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
 Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition.
1. CAN communication status  CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
 Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
 When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status  Process to stop CAN communication is activated.

 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

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.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612911
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000001612914
NOTE:
 This Procedure is applied only to models with In telligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).
 Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the ″LOCK ″ position.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS /IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery pow er is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Steering SystemINFOID:0000000001327705
 In case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehicle
condition, and then check wheel alignment.
 Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
