ECU NISSAN MURANO 2007 1.G Owner's Guide

Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving it could be
dangerous.

Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or a low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.

If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the anti-lock braking warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the anti-lock
braking system is not functioning properly. Have
the brake system checked by a NISSAN dealer.See “Anti-lock braking warning light” earlier in
this section.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the generator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a
NISSAN dealer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the generator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are
not closed securely while the ignition switch is
ON.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light blinks or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediatelyand call a NISSAN dealer or other
authorized repair shop.The oil pressure warning light is not de-
signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level.See “Engine
oil” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Key warning light
(for Intelligent Key system)
This light comes on in green when it is possible
to turn the ignition switch.
When the light comes on in red, it is not possible
to turn the ignition switch.

The warning light blinks in red when the
Intelligent Key is outside the vehicle with the
ignition switch in the ACC or ON position.
Confirm the location of the key as soon as
possible when the warning light blinks in red.

and that the vehicle has at least three gallons of
fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on continuously for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates that
the vehicle is not ready for an emission control
system inspection/maintenance test. See
“Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M)
test” in the “9. Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:

Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. Turn the ignition
switch to OFF and check the fuel-filler cap. If
the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer. You
do not need to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.
Malfunction indicator light blinking — An en-
gine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system. To re-
duce or avoid emission control system dam-
age:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
Security indicator light
Model without Intelligent Key system:
This light blinks whenever the ignition switch is in
the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.
Model with Intelligent Key system:
This light blinks whenever the ignition switch is
not pushed in or the mechanical key is removed
from the ignition switch.
This function indicates the security systems
equipped on the vehicle are operational.
For additional information, see “Security sys-
tems” later in this section.
Slip indicator light (if so
equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
the slip indicator light illuminates and then turns
off. This indicates the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system is operational.
This indicator will blink when the VDC system or
the traction control system is operating, thus
alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits.
If the VDC off indicator light and slip indicator
light illuminate while the engine is running or

Your vehicle has one or both types of security
systems, as follows:

Vehicle Security System (if so equipped)

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light in the meter panel.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system thatactivates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle,
and always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification markers,
and tracking systems, are available at auto sup-
ply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are
disturbed.
How to activate the vehicle security
system1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2.•Remove the key from the ignition switch.
•Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical key
from the ignition switch (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
3. Close and lock all doors.

When using the remote keyless entry system
or the request switch, the hazard indicators
will operate as shown in “Remote keyless
entry system” or “Intelligent Key system” in
the “3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments”
section.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light in
the meter comes on. The SECURITY indica-
tor light glows for about 30 seconds and then
blinks. The system is now activated. If, during
this 30 second time period, the door is
unlocked by the key, the remote keyless
entry, request switch or the ignition switch is
turned to ACC or ON, the system will not
activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors locked and ignition switch
off. Turn the ignition switch to ACC to turn
the system off.
Vehicle security system operationThe security system will give the following alarm:

The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be stopped by unlock-
ing a door with the key, by pushing the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry
or pushing the request switch.
The alarm is activated by:

Opening the door (including the lift gate)
without using the key, remote keyless entry or
pushing the request switch.
How to stop alarmThe alarm will stop only by unlocking a door with
the key, by pushing the UNLOCK button on
remote keyless entry, or pushing the request
switch (when carrying the Intelligent Key with
you). The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch
is turned to ACC or ON.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by a
NISSAN dealer.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEMThe NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.If the engine fails to start using the registered
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may
be due to interference caused by another
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an
automated toll road device or automated pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the engine
using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards became effective for opener
models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.

During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may
open or close. Make sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are program-
ming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming theHomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener,
home or office lighting, you need to be at the
same location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling
code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the “smart or learn” program button.
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
