1998 NISSAN PATROL Ignition system

System Description
This unit displays the following items:
+Earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
+Outside air temperature.
+Caution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ``ÉF''.
+Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ``ÉF'' to ``ÉC''.
+When the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
+When the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
+When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ``- - -'' though it is operating. This is not a problem.
+The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The direction will be displayed.

System Description
WIPER OPERATION
The wiper switch is controlled by a lever built into the combination switch.
There are three wiper switch positions:
+LO speed
+HI speed
+INT (Intermittent)
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
+through 20A fuse [No.
, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to wiper motor terminalj
4.
Low and high speed wiper operation
Ground is supplied to wiper switch terminalj
17through body grounds.
When the wiper switch is placed in the LO position, ground is supplied
+through terminalj
14of the wiper switch
+to wiper motor terminalj
2.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at low speed.
When the wiper switch is placed in the HI position, ground is supplied
+through terminalj
16of the wiper switch
+to wiper motor terminalj
3.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at high speed.
Auto stop operation
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
+from terminalj
14of the wiper switch
+to wiper motor terminalj
2, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
+through wiper ampli®er (OUTPUT) combined with wiper switch and (with intermittent wiper)
+through terminalj
13of wiper switch
+to wiper motor terminalj
5
+through terminalj6of the wiper motor, and
+through body grounds.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, wiper motor terminalsj
4andj5are connected instead of ter-
minalsj
5andj6. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the PARK position.
Intermittent operation
The wiper motor operates the wiper arms one time at low speed at a set interval of approximately 3 to 13
seconds. This feature is controlled by the wiper ampli®er (INT SW) combined with wiper switch.
When the wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied to wiper ampli®er.
The desired interval time is input to wiper ampli®er (INT VR) from wiper volume switch combined with wiper
switch.
Then intermittent ground is supplied
+to wiper motor terminalj
2
+from terminalj14of wiper switch
+through wiper ampli®er (OUTPUT).
The wiper motor operates at low speed at the desired interval.
WASHER OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
+through 20A fuse [No.
, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
+to washer motor terminalj
2.
When the lever is pulled to the WASH position, ground is supplied through wiper switch
+to washer motor terminalj
1, and
+to wiper ampli®er (WASH SW) combined with wiper switch.
With power and ground supplied, the washer motor operates.
When the lever is pulled to the WASH position for one second or more, the wiper motor operates at low speed
for approximately 3 seconds to clean windshield. This feature is controlled by the wiper ampli®er in the same
manner as the intermittent operation.

Intermittent operation
The rear wiper motor operates the wiper arm one time at low speed at an interval of approximately 7 sec-
onds.
When the rear wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
+to rear wiper ampli®er terminalj
1
+through rear wiper switch terminalj21.
Then the rear wiper motor operates intermittently in the same manner as the low speed wiper operation.
WASHER OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse (No.
18, located in the fuse block)
+to rear washer motor terminalj

System Description
+A heat line has been added to the lower portion of the wind-
shield.
+During cold weather, water can freeze between the wiper
blades and windshield. Turning the wiper deicer switch ON
melts the ice between the blades and windshield.
+During snowfall, packed snow can accumulate around the
windshield lower surface and surrounding areas. Turning the
wiper deicer switch ON melts the snow to allow the wiper
blades to more easily remove it.
+The wiper deicer operates only for approximately 15 minutes
while ignition switch is in ON position. The timer is combined
with wiper deicer switch.

MANUAL OPERATION
NOTE:
Numbers in parentheses are terminal numbers, when power window switch is pressed in the UP and DOWN
positions respectively.
Driver side
When the driver side switch in the power window main switch is pressed in the up position, power is supplied
+to driver side power window regulator terminal (j
2,j1)
+through power window main switch terminal (j
9,j8).
Ground is supplied
+to driver side power window regulator terminal (j
1,j2)
+through power window main switch terminal (j
8,j9).
Then, the motor raises or lowers the window until the switch is released.
Passenger side
MAIN SWITCH OPERATION
Power is supplied
+through power window main switch (j
5,j6)
+to front power window sub-switch (j
3,j4).
The subsequent operation is the same as the sub-switch operation.
SUB-SWITCH OPERATION
Power is supplied
+through front power window sub-switch (j
1,j2)
+to passenger side power window regulator (j
2,j1).
Ground is supplied
+to passenger side power window regulator (j
1,j2)
+through front power window sub-switch (j

+through power window main switch (j
6,j5).
Then, the motor raises or lowers the window until the switch is released.
Rear door
Rear door windows will raise and lower in the same manner as passenger side door window.
AUTO OPERATION
The power window AUTO feature enables the driver to open or close the driver's window without holding the
window switch in the respective position.
When the AUTO switch in the main switch is pressed and released, the driver's window will travel to the fully
open or closed position.
POWER WINDOW LOCK
The power window lock is designed to lock operation of all windows except for driver's door window.
When the lock switch is pressed to lock position, ground of the sub-switches in the power window main switch
is disconnected. This prevents the power window motors from operating.
