COMPONENT PARTS
*1: Image signals cannot be received from iPod®.
Side camera RH It inputs the power supply from around view monitor control unit and outputs the
image of the vehicle RH to around view monitor control unit.
 It performs the reception/transmission of the communication signal with around view monitor control unit.
Infrared LED
(Auxiliary lighting)  It illuminates around the front RH wheel by the power supply from around view
monitor control unit to improve nighttime visibility of front-side view.
 The infrared LED is an invisible light ray.
Sonar control unit  It is connected with around view monitor control unit via AV communication and
receives the sonar operation signal from around view monitor control unit.

communication.
 It judges the warning level according to the signal from corner sensor.
Corner sensor The obstacle distance is detected. The signal is transmitted to sonar control unit.
Steering angle sensor It is connected to the AV control unit and transmits the steering angle sensor signal
via CAN communication.
Microphone  Used for hands-free phone operation.
 Microphone signal is transmitted to AV control unit.
 Power (Microphone VCC) is supplied from AV control unit.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
RELATED TO ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition
switch was pressed off, for example, by a ferry
or car transporter.
Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon
may be incorrect depending on the driving en-
vironments and the levels of positioning accu-
racy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a while to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
When the vehicle is traveling on a
new road, the vehicle icon is located
on another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map
data, the system automatically places the vehi-
cle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the
headlights were turned on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using
when you turn on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even when
the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position. When using tire chains or replacing the tires,
speed calculations based on the speed sensor
may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while [at approximately
30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30 minutes] to
automatically correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion, contact an INFINITI dealer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete
(the vehicle icon position is always misaligned
in the same area). Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Waypoints are not included in
the auto reroute calculation. Waypoints that you have already passed are not included in
the auto reroute calculation. If you want to go to that waypoint
again, you need to edit the route.
Route information is not dis-
played. Route calculation has not yet been performed.
Set the destination and perform route
calculation.
You are not driving on the suggested route. Drive on the suggested route.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads
(roads displayed in gray). This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests
the same route as the one pre-
viously suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consider-
ation, but the same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones
that you have already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set
on the route. If you want to go to 6 or
more waypoints, perform route calcu-
lations multiple times as necessary.
The suggested route is not dis-
played. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated.
Reset the destination to a main or or-
dinary road, and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far away. Divide your trip by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations, and per-
form route calculations multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by
time) near the current vehicle location or destination. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to
off.

< BASIC INSPECTION >
SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under s eating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
HEAT SENSITIVE
 The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
 To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Never heat components above 60 °C (140 °F).
 If incident occurs while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the component.
FREEZING
 The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the carwarms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freez-
ing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
 There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car overnight. Check it will get cold enough
to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked outside over-
night. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those
electrical components which could be affected.
 The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
WATER INTRUSION
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
CAUTION:
Never spray water directly on any electrical components.
ELECTRICAL LOAD
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.
COLD OR HOT START UP
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when
the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to
make a proper diagnosis.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM transmits position light request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter according to tail lamp ON
condition.
Tail lamp ON condition- Lighting switch 1ST
- Lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch AUTO, and the auto light function ON judgment
- Lighting switch AUTO, with the front fog lamp switch ON and the ignition switch ON
 IPDM E/R turns the integrated tail lamp relay ON acco rding to position light request signal. It provides the
power supply to each illumination lamp.
 Combination meter enters in the nighttime mode accord ing to position light request signal. Under the night-
time mode the combination meter controls the illu minance by controlling each illumination lamp (ground
side).
