1998 NISSAN PATROL starting system

Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and suit-
able test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the Inspec-
tion Table.
+Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
+Use fully charged battery.

Note:
+If the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B ter-
minal connection. (Check the tightening torque.)
+When ®eld circuit is open, check condition of rotor coil, rotor slip ring and brush. If necessary,
replace faulty parts with new ones.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illuminate ``CHARGE'' warning lamp, if any of the following
symptoms occur while alternator is operating:
+Excessive voltage is produced.
+No voltage is produced.

Trouble Diagnoses
CD AUTOCHANGER
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
No play of the CD after CD play button
is pushed.
There is no error code shown on
the radio.1. Radio
(The radio is not working.)
2. Harness connection
(Magazine does not eject.)
3. Changer1. Remove the radio for repair.
2. Check harness connection.
3. Remove the changer for repair.
Error code [ERR] is shown on the
radio.1. Discs
2. Magazine does not eject or a
disc remains in CD player.
3. Changer1. Inspect discs.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
2. Reset the changer.
(Disconnect harness connector at the changer and reconnect
after 30 sec.)
3. Remove the changer for repair.
CD skipping. 1. Rough road driving
2. Discs
3. Bracket
4. Changer1. System is not malfunctioning.
2. Inspect discs.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
3. Check and repair bracket and installation of changer.
4. Remove the changer for repair.
Error code [NO DISC] is shown on the
radio after CD play button is pressed.1. Magazine setting
2. Magazine
3. Changer1. Con®rm the magazine is pushed completely.
2. Inspect magazine.
(Refer to testing magazines and discs.)
3. Remove the changer for repair.
Testing magazines and discs
1. Con®rm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.

MODEDescription
C/U INITIALIZATION When replacing any of the following three components, C/U initialization is necessary.
[NATS ignition key/IMMU/ECM]
SELF-FUNCTION CHECK ECM checks its own NATS communication interface by itself.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS Detected items (screen terms) are as shown in the chart below.
NOTE:
When any initialisation is performed, all ID previously registered will be erased. So all NATS ignition
keys must be registered again.
The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this case, the system may show ``DIFFER-
ENCE OF KEY'' or ``LOCK MODE'' as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT screen.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
NOTE:
+If trip number is more than 1, MIL does not blink.
+Time data is not indicated for TB45E engine models.
