XENON HEADLAMP
XENON HEADLAMP
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003773562
OUTLINE
 The lamp light source is by the arch discharge by applying high voltage into the xenon gas-filled bulb instead
of the halogen bulb filament.
 Sight becomes more natural and brighter because the amount of light are gained adequately and the color of
light is sunshine-like white.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
ILLUMINATION PRINCIPLE
1. Discharging starts in high voltage pulse between bulb elec-
trodes.
2. Xenon gas is activated by current between electrodes. Pale light
is emitted.
3. The luminous tube (bulb) temperature elevates. Evaporated
halide is activated by discharge. The color of light changes into
white.
NOTE:
 Brightness and the color of light may change slightly immediately
after the headlamp turned ON until the xenon bulb becomes sta-
ble. This is not malfunction.
 Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is not
malfunction.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Representative malfunction examples are; "Light does not turn ON", "Light blinks", and "Brightness is inade-
quate." The cause often be the xenon bulb. Such malfunctions, however, are occurred occasionally by HID
control unit malfunction or lamp case malfunction. Specify the malfunctioning part with diagnosis procedure.
WARNING:
 Never touch the harness, HID control unit, the inside and metal part of lamp when turning the head-
lamp ON or operating the lighting switch.
 Never work with wet hands.
CAUTION:
 Never perform HID control unit circuit diagnosis with a circuit tester or an equivalent.
 Temporarily install the headlamps on the vehicle. Connect the battery to the connector (vehicle side)
when checking ON/OFF status.
 Disconnect the battery negative terminal before disconnecting the lamp socket connector or the har-
ness connector.
 Check for fusing of the fusible link(s), open around connector, short, disconnection if the symptom
is caused by electric error.
NOTE:
 Turn the switch OFF once before turning ON, if the ON/OFF is inoperative.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003773563
1.CHECK XENON BULB
Install the normal bulb to the applicable headlamp. Check that the lighting switch is turned ON.
Is the headlamp turned ON?
YES >> Replace the xenon bulb.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HID CONTROL UNIT

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003813382
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 severity 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 whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000003795887
CAUTION:
 CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. Compressor malfunction is likely occur if the
refrigerants are mixed.
 Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.
 The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
General Refrigerant PrecautionINFOID:0000000003795888
WARNING:
 Never breath A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant.
PIIB3706J

HA-14
< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS
Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health
and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
 Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.
 Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
 Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (126°F).
 Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm
pail of water if container warming is required.
 Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
 Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
 Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-
cation.
 Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.
