U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006256082
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 communica tion speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicl e, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L li ne) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006237842
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 “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” 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 that 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
 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.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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 minu tes before performing any service.

CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEAT CONTROL UNIT
Malfunction Malfunctioning condition
The temperature difference between the seatback ther-
mal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit is
more than 30 °C  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature difference between
the seatback thermal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit
is more than 30 °, it stops the output to the thermal electric unit, activates
the climate controlled seat blower motor at the maximum position, and
sends the external airflow for 30 seconds
 If the temperature difference is still more than 30 °C after 30 seconds
pass, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
 When the temperature difference between seatback thermal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit becomes less than 20 °C, the sys-
tem recovers automatically
 If it detects that the temperature difference is more than 30 °C after the
automatic system recovery, it immediately stops all output and enters the
system OFF condition
NOTE:
When the switch operation is performed before entering the system OFF
condition, the fail-safe mode is reset.
The temperature of thermal electric unit is more than
11 0 °C in the HEAT mode (any thermal electric unit in the
seatback or seat cushion)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature of the thermal electric
unit is more than 110 °C, it stops the output to the thermal electric unit,
activates the climate controlled seat blower motor at the maximum posi-
tion, and sends the external airflow for 30 seconds
 If the temperature does not become less than 105 °C after 30 seconds
pass, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
 When the temperature of the thermal electric unit becomes less than 105 °C, the system recovers automatically
 If it detects that the temperature of the thermal electric unit is more than
11 0 °C after the automatic system recovery, it immediately stops all out-
put and enters the system OFF condition
The temperature of the thermal electric unit is more than
45 °C in the COOL mode (any thermal electric unit in the
seatback or seat cushion)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature of the thermal electric
unit is more than 45 °C and less than 70 °C, it starts the temperature mon-
itoring of the thermal electric unit at 3 second intervals for increase in
temperature from the previous value
 While monitoring, if it detects that the temperature continuously rises 2 °C
or more for 4 consecutive intervals or reaches 70 °C or more, it stops all
output and enters the system OFF condition
 If it detects other results of monitoring, it continues activating in the se-
lected COOL mode
Thermal electric unit sensor open circuit
(in either the back and the cushion TEU)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the thermal electric unit sensor is an
open circuit, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
Climate controlled seat blower motor system open circuit
(in either the back and the cushion blower)  When it detects for 2 seconds that climate controlled seat blower motor
is an open circuit while the climate controlled seat is being activated, and
the battery status has been stable for the same 2 second period, it stops
output to the thermal electric unit
 When it detects for 10 seconds that the climate controlled seat blower motor is an open circuit while the climate controlled seat is being activat-
ed, and the battery status has been stable for the same 10second period,
it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
NOTE:
After detecting the climate seat blower motor system open circuit for 2
seconds, the system recovers automatically if the activation of the cli-
mate controlled seat blower motor is detected for 1 second or more.
Switch input out of the specified range
(either heat input or cool input)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the rotary switch input is less than
30% of the vehicle battery voltage, it stops all output and enters the sys-
tem OFF condition
 When the switch input returns to a value within the specified range, the
system recovers automatically
