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-58, "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-39, "
CONSULT-II Data Link
Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
BCM diagnostic
test itemDiagnostic mode Description
Inspection by partWORK SUPPORTSupports inspections and adjustments. Commands are transmitted to the BCM
for setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are
received from the BCM and received data is displayed.
DATA MONITOR Displays BCM input/output data in real time.
ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Displays BCM self-diagnosis results.

2. CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect BCM connectors and optical sensor connector.
3. Check continuity (open circuit) between BCM harness connector
M18 terminal 18 (P) and optical sensor harness connector M402
terminal 3 (P).
4. Check continuity (short circuit) between BCM harness connector
M18 terminal 18 (P) and ground.
