PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”

ADS0016Z
A
The Supplemental Rest raint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PR E-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to redu ce th e risk or se verit y of i njury to the driv er and front passenge r for ce rtain types of col lision. Information necessary to service the system safely is includ ed in the SRS and SB section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
● To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, whi ch could incr ease the risk of pe rsonal 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, inc luding incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury ca use d by unintentional ac tiv atio n o f the system. For remo va l of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equ ipment o n any circu it related to the SRS unless in structed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.
Precautions ADS00170
● Before connecting or disconnecting the AWD control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and discon­nect battery negative cable from batt ery negative terminal. Because battery voltage is applied to AWD control unit even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

● When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors i nto or
from AWD control unit, take care not to damage pin termi­nals (bend or break). When connecting pin connectors, make sur e that there are no bends or breaks on AWD control unit pin terminal.
● Before replacing AWD control unit, perform AWD control
unit input/output signal inspection and make sure whether AWD control unit functions properly or not. Refer to TF-21,
"AWD Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Values" .

PRECAUTIONS

Service Notice or Precaution s ADS00171

● After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer oil.
● Check the oil level or replace oil only with the vehicle parked on level surface.
● During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
● Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern.
Fitting improper siz e and/or unusual wear tires applies exc essive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause longitudinal vibration.
● Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
● Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
● Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of th e parts when applied.
● All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
● Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
● Gaskets, seals, O-rings and lock nuts should be replaced any time when the transfer is dis assembled.
● In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, use it.
● Observe the specified torque when assembling.
● Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blo w-dry them.
● Be carefu l not to damage sliding surface s and mating surfaces.
● Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfe r.

System Description ADS00178

ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING Operation Principle
1. The AWD control unit supplies comm and current to t he electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. The control clu tch is engaged by th e electromagnet an d torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to the control clutch torque and applies pressure to the main clutch.
4. The main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.
● Transmission torque to the rear wheels is determined accord-
ing to command cu rrent.
AWD CONTROL UNIT
● AWD control unit controls distribution of drive power between
front-wheel drive (100:0 ) and AWD (50:50) cond ition s accord ing to the signals from the sensors.
● Self-diagnosis results can be read with CONSULT-II.

AWD SYSTEM
AWD MODE SWITCH AUTO Mode
● Electronic control allows optimal distribution o f torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
● AWD mode makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
● On roads which d o n ot r eq ui re AWD, AUTO mode co ntr i bu tes to i mp rov ed f uel ec on omy b y d ri vi ng in c on -

● Sensor inputs determ ine the ve hicle's tu rning con dition, an d tight co rnering/ brakin g are contro lled by dis-
tributing optimum torque to the rear wheels.
LOCK Mode
● Front/rear wheel torque distribution is fixed, ensuring stable driving when climbing slopes.
● AWD cont ro l u ni t wi ll s w itch au to ma ti cal ly to AUTO mode if vehicle speed inc r ease s. If vehi cl e s pe ed then
decreases, the vehicle automatically returns to direct 4-wheel driving conditions.
● LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 30 km/h
(19 MPH). The LOCK indicator light keeps illuminating.
NOTE:
If there is a significant difference in pressure or wear between tires, full vehicle performance is not available. LOCK mode may be prohibited, or speeds at which LOCK mode is enabled may be restricted detecting tire conditions.

CAN Communication ADS0017A

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul­tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec­tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other control units during opera tion (not independent). In CA N communication, cont rol units are connected with 2 communicatio n lines ( CAN H lin e, CAN L li ne) all owi ng a high ra te of in forma tion tr ans missi on wit h less wir ing. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-21, "

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS PFP:00004 Fail-Safe Function ADS0017B

● If any malfunction occu rs in AWD electrical system , and control unit de tects the malfun ction, AWD warn-
ing lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
● When AWD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to front-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Rear-
wheels still have some drivin g torque).

How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis ADS0017C

BASIC CONCEPT
● To perform troub le diagn osis, it is th e most im portant to ha ve unde rstanding ab out vehic le syste ms (con-
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.
● It is also important to clarify cus tome r comp laints be fore in spec -
tion. First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully. Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some case s, it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not profes sional. It is dangerous to m ake a n easy guess like "maybe the customer means that...," or "maybe the customer mentions this sym ptom ".
SEF233G
● It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair malfunctions completely. For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on interview with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake suspected harness or connector by ha nd. When repairing wit h­out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions have actually been eliminated.
● After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to TF-24, "
● For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connec-
