ICC SYSTEM FREQUENTLY CANNOT DETECT THE VEHICLE AHEAD/
DETECTION ZONE IS SHORT
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146015
The detection function may become disrupted in the following cases:
• When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is small or not clean enough to reflect the laser.
• When driving a road with extremely sharp corners.
• When the laser cannot detect the reflector of the vehicle ahead as the vehicle ahead is passing a hill or
passing the peak.
1.VISUAL CHECK
1. Check ICC sensor body window for contamination and foreign materials.
Is the ICC sensor window clean and free of obstruction?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> If any contamination or foreign materials are found, remove them. Then perform ICC system run-
ning test. Refer to CCS-8, "
ACTION TEST : ICC System Running Test".
2.CHECK FUNCTION
1. After performing laser beam aiming adjustment, perform ICC system running test. Refer to CCS-8,
"ACTION TEST : ICC System Running Test". Check that preceding vehicle detection performance has
been improved.
Is the ICC system operating normally?
YES >> INSPECTION END.
NO >> • Replace ICC sensor and perform laser beam aiming adjustment. Refer to CCS-72, "
ICC Sen-
sor".
• Perform ICC system running test. Refer to CCS-8, "
ACTION TEST : ICC System Running Test".

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005146018
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 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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent 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.
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
ICC System ServiceINFOID:0000000005146019
• Do not look straight into the laser beam discharger when adjusting laser beam aiming.
• Turn the MAIN switch OFF in conditions similar to dr iving, such as free rollers or a chassis dynamometer.
• Do not use the ICC sensor integrated unit removing from vehicle. Never disassemble and remodel.
• Erase DTC when replacing parts of ICC system, then c heck the operation of ICC system after adjusting laser
beam aiming if necessary.

HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color. Following are some of the advantages
of the Xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi- tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position,
the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be
used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter c ontrols the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indi-
cator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam
headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes unless the lighting switch position is
changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM -
HEAD LAMP)".

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005369870
After starting the engine with the parking brake releas ed and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) in the OFF or 1ST position, the headlamp high beam automatically turns on at a reduced intensity.
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position or with autolamps ON, the
headlamps function the same as conventional light systems.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake swit ch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to activate the daytime light system. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/ R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the ground side of the LH high beam lamp. Power flows backward through the LH high beam
lamp to the IPDM E/R, through the high beam fuses, through the RH high beam lamp circuit to the RH high
beam lamp and on to ground. The high beam lamps are wired in series which causes them to illuminate at a
reduced intensity.

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146615
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
The auto light system operates t he low beam and high beam headlamps, parking lamps, tail lamps and license
plate lamps. The BCM monitors the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) position as a part of
the BCM combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) reading function. When the combination switch
(lighting and turn signal switch) is in the AUTO position, the BCM automatically turns the lamps ON/OFF
according to ambient light brightness.
NOTE:
Timing for when lamps turn ON/OFF can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22,
"HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".

HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005370270
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the headlamp LH high and head-
lamp RH high relays based on inputs from the BCM via the CAN communication lines. When the headlamp LH
high and headlamp RH high relays are energized, power flows through fuse\
s 34 and 35, located in the IPDM
E/R. Power then flows to the front combination lamps to the headlamp high beam.
