NOTE:
A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checking data with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Refer to AT-92, "
CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE" .
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65
C (149F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.
If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-14,
"RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE engine), CO-43, "RADIATOR"
(for VK45DE engine) and AT- 1 4 , "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

Changing A/T FluidNLS00081
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill
same volume with drained ATF.
To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old
ATF from the radiator cooler hose return side.
When the color of the ATF coming out is about the same as
the color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.
Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not
covered by the warranty.
When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 3 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat step 2.
through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking Transfer FluidNLS00082
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
(For details, refer to TF-9, "
Inspection" .)

Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsNLS0008F
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks or other damage.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS004E2
IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuit.
IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control and
oil pressure switch signal reception, etc.
It controls operation of each electrical part via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:
Headlamps (HI, LO)
Tail, parking and license plate lamps
Front fog lamps
2. Daytime light relay control (for Canada models)
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
3. Wiper control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
4. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window defogger relay.
5. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan via cooling fan control
module.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls horn relay.
8. Starter motor relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls starter motor relay.
9. Alternator control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from ECM and controls power generation voltage.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L-line, CAN
H-line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control
When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamps
With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp low relay is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp low relay is OFF.
Tail, parking and
license plate lamps
With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Cooling fan
With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.
With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status it was in just
before fail
safe control was initiated.
