ILLUMINATION
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328422
Control of illumination lamps operation is dependent upon position of lighting switch (combination switch).
When lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND positi on (or if auto light system is activated), BCM (body con-
trol module) receives input signal requesting illuminati on lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communi-
cated to IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) through the CAN communication. The
CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R co ntrols tail lamp relay coil. This relay, when energized,
directs power to illumination lamps, which then illuminate.
Power is supplied at all times
 through 10A fuse (No. 71, located in IPDM E/R)
 to tail lamp relay, located in IPDM E/R, and
 to CPU located in IPDM E/R.
Power is also supplied at all times
 through 50A fusible link (letter M, located in fuse, fusible link and relay box)
 to BCM terminal 55,
 through 15A fuse [No. 22 located in fuse block (J/B)]
 to BCM terminal 42,
 through 15A fuse (No. 78, located in IPDM E/R)
 to CPU located in IPDM E/R,
 through 10A fuse [No. 19 located in fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21 and
 to combination meter terminal 8.
With ignition switch in ON or START position, power is supplied
 to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R, from battery direct,
 through 15A fuse [No. 1 located in fuse block (J/B)]
 to BCM terminal 38,
 through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in fuse block (J/B)]
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22 and
 to combination meter terminal 7.
With ignition switch in ACC or ON position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 4 and
 to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied
 to BCM terminals 49 and 52
 to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30, and
 to combination meter terminals 5, 6, and 15
 through grounds M35, M45, and M85,
 to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 60
 through grounds E21, E50, and E51.
ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), BCM receives input signal
requesting illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to IPDM E/R through the CAN
communication. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls tail lamp relay coil, which, when energized, directs

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the lighting switch is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), and ignition switch
is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, batte ry saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then illumination lamps are turned
off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2 ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by battery save r control, and illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-III.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328423
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.

Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it. MA-26
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately. —

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.
