AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONERPFP:28491
System Description NIS001UO
The system automatically moves the driver seat to facilitate entry/exit to/from the vehicle. The automatic
drive positioner control unit can also store the optimum driving positions (driver seat, steering wheel posi-
tion (tilt, telescopic) and door mirror position) for 2 people. If the driver is changes, one-touch operation
allows changing to the other driving position.
The settings (ON/OFF) of the automatic sliding seat (Entry/Exiting operation) at entry/exit can be changed
as desired, using the display unit in the center of the instrument panel. The set content is transmitted by
CAN communication, from display control unit to driver seat control unit.
Using CONSULT-II, the seat slide and steering wheel amount at entry/exit setting can be changed.
MANUAL OPERATION
The driving position [seat position, steering wheel position (tilt, telescopic) and door mirror position] can be
adjusted with the power seat switch or ADP steering switch or door mirror remote control switch.
NOTE:
The seat can be manually operated with the ignition switch OFF.
The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch turned ACC or ON.

NOTE:
Disconnecting the battery erases the stored memory.
After connecting the battery, insert the key into the ignition cylinder and turn the driver door switch ON (open) →OFF (close) →ON
(open), the Entry/ Exiting operation becomes possible.
After exiting operation is carried out, return operation can be operated.
NOTE:
During automatic operation, if the ignition switch is turned ON →START, the automatic operation is suspended. When the ignition switch
returns to ON, it resumes. Function Description
Memory switch operation The seat, steering and door mirror move to the stored driving position by pushing
memory switch (1 or 2).
Entry/Exiting function Exiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and steering wheel moves forward/upward.

tion, memory switch operation and entry operation is stopped.
Auto operation stop conditions.
When the vehicle speed becomes 7 km/h (4 MPH) or higher.
When the setting switch, memory switch 1, or 2 are pressed.
When A/T selector lever is in any position other than P.
When the door mirror remote control switch is operated (when ignition switch turned to
ON or ACC).

When door mirror operates (only memory switch operation).
When driver seat sliding Entry/Exiting setting is OFF (only entry/exiting operation).
When steering wheel tilt and telescopic Entry/Exiting setting is OFF (only entry/exiting
operation).
When the tilt and telescopic sensor malfunction is detected.

AWD SYSTEMPFP:41650
Power Transfer DiagramNDS0009U
System DescriptionNDS0009V
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 mode the shift occasionally
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.
AWD Warning Lamp Indication
System DiagramNDS0009W
Condition AWD warning lamp
Lamp check Turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON. Turns OFF
approx. 1 second after engine start.
AWD system malfunction ON
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
(Flashing in approx. 1 minute and then turning OFF.)
Large difference in diameter of front/rear tires Slow flashing: 1 time/2 seconds
(Continuing to flash until turning ignition switch OFF)
Other than above (system normal) OFF

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionNDS0009Y
If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warn-
ing lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
When AWD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifting driving force-AWD (Front-
wheels still have some driving torque).
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisNDS0009Z
BASIC CONCEPT
To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the most important to have understanding about vehicle systems (con-
trol and mechanism) thoroughly.
It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...,” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
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 hand. When repairing with-
out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions
have actually been eliminated.
After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to TF-23, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
For intermittent malfunctions, move harness or harness connec-
tor by hand. Then check for poor contact or reproduced open circuit.
