DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 4 (CONTINUED FROM DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2)
Inspecting SRS malfunctioning record
1. CONSIDER POSSIBILITY OF NOT ERASING SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS AFTER REPAIRING
Is it the first time for maintenance of SRS?
YES or NO
YES >> Go to SRS-19, "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2" .
NO >> Self-diagnostic result “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” (previously stored in the memory) might not be erased
after repair. Go to SRS-23, "
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3" .
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 5
Inspecting SRS intermittent malfunction by using CONSULT-II — Diagnosis mode
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data
link connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
5. Touch “AIR BAG”.
If “AIR BAG” is not indicated, refer to GI-40, "
CONSULT-II Data

AWD SYSTEMPFP:41650
Power Transfer DiagramADS000RV
System DescriptionADS000RW
DESCRIPTION
Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to rear-wheel drive.
Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are con-
trolled by distributing optimum torque to front wheels.
NOTE:
When driving, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel speed which continues for a long
time, fluid temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and AWD warning lamp flashes rapidly.
(When AWD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive conditions.) Also, optional distri-
bution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before lamp flashes rapidly, but it is not malfunction.
If AWD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AWD system will be restored.
When driving, AWD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in diameter of the
tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving is required. (Continues
until engine is turned OFF.)
If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.
When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode the shift occa-
sionally changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not malfunction.

AWD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in AWD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
change to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-wheels still have some driving torque).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF approximately for 1
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

Protection function is activated due to heavy load to electric con-
trolled coupling. (AWD system is not malfunctioning and AWD system
changes to 2WD mode.)Rapid flashing: 2 times/second

COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationADS000RY
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
For details, refer to LAN-6, "
CAN Communication Unit" .
Component parts Function
AWD control unit
Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from rear wheel driving
mode (0:100) to AWD mode (50:50).
2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in AWD system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
AWD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by command current from AWD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to front final drive.
AWD warning lamp
Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of AWD system.
There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.
There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit)Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
Vehicle speed signal
Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ECMTransmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
Accelerator pedal position signal
Engine speed signal
Unified meter and A/C amp. Transmits conditions of parking brake switch via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
