Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.
When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

transmission, suspension etc.), support a jack up point on the rear side garage jack with a mission
jack or equivalent.
Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle,
suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the front side garage jack with a mission jack or
equivalent.
Be careful not to smash or do not do anything that would affect piping parts.
Garage Jack and Safety Stand and 2-Pole LiftNAS0007Z
WAR NING :
Park the vehicle on a level surface when using the jack. Make sure to avoid damaging pipes,
tubes, etc. under the vehicle.
Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands when
you have to get under the vehicle.
Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
When lifting the vehicle, open the lift arms as wide as possible and ensure that the front and rear
of the vehicle are well balanced.
When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable, fuel lines
and sill spoiler.

FOG LAMP OPERATION
The fog lamp switch is built in combination switch. The lighting switch must be in 2ND position or AUTO posi-
tion (headlamp is ON) and fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU located in IPDM E/R grounds coil side of the fog lamp
relay. Fog lamp relay then directs power
through IPDM E/R terminal 37
to front fog lamp RH terminal 1,
through IPDM E/R terminal 36
to front fog lamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
to front fog lamp RH terminal 2
through grounds E22 and E43,
to front fog lamp LH terminal 2
through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and grounds supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
The unified meter and A/C amp. that received the front fog lamp request signal by BCM across the CAN com-
munication makes a front fog lamp indicator lamp turn on in combination meter.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003R4
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.
CAN Communication UnitNKS003R5

PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
to CPU located in IPDM E/R,
through 15A fuse [No. 1, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 38.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied
to BCM terminal 52
through grounds M16 and M70,
to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 51
through grounds E22 and E43.
OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the parking, license plate and tail lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the
tail lamp relay coil, which when energized, directs power
through IPDM E/R terminal 21
to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 5 (parking)
to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 7 (side marker)
to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminals 1 (tail and side marker)
to license plate lamp LH and RH terminals 1.
Ground is supplied at all times
to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 1 (parking and side marker)
through grounds E22 and E43,
to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminals 4 (tail and side marker)
to license plate lamp LH and RH terminals 2
through grounds B5, B40 and B131.
With power and ground supplied, the parking, license plate and tail lamps illuminate.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer toBCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST (or 2ND) position, and ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then
the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps are turned off.
