CHARGING SYSTEM
CHARGING SYSTEM
PFP:00011
System DescriptionEKS00316
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehicle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times to alternator terminal 4 (S) through:
l120A (Gasoline engine models) or 100A (Diesel engine models) fusible link (letter A, located in the fuse
and fusible link box), and
l10A fuse (No.34, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
Terminal B supplies power to charge the battery and operate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage is
controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (S) detecting the input voltage. The charging circuit is protected by
the 120A (Gasoline engine models) or 100A (Diesel engine models) link.
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
l10A fuse [No. 11, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
lto combination meter terminal 46 (LHD models) or terminal 59 (RHD models) for the charge warning
lamp.
Ground is supplied With power and ground supplied
lto terminal 64 (LHD models) or terminal 54 ( RHD models) of the combination meter
lthrough terminal 3 (L) of the alternator.
the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing sufficient voltage with the engine run-
ning, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a fault is indicated.

Trouble Diagnoses
EKS00319
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 Inspection
Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.
WITH IC REGULATOR
NOTE:
lIf the inspection result is OK even though the charging system is malfunctioning, check the B terminal
connection. (Check the tightening torque.)
lWhen field 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:
lExcessive voltage is produced.
lNo voltage is produced.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TEN-
SIONER”
EHS000BG
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.
WA RN ING:
lTo 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo 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 harness connector.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceEHS000BH
lDo not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
lBefore servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch “OFF”, disconnect battery ground cable and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables is removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
lDiagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “Ü” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before instal-
lation and replace as required.
lThe spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
lHandle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module standing with stud bolt side setting bottom.
lConduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
lAfter air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
