DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineEKS00BLG
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function). The ICC system may
AUTO-CANCEL for various reasons, for example, when the windshield wipers are operating.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the same speed as other vehicles, can be maintained without the
constant need to adjust the operating speed as with a conventional cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following another vehicle in the same
lane and direction.
If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle
ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 120 m (390 ft) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operation instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster, even with light pedal force.
When the preview function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver
depresses the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
4. Pivot the target board on its center mark 20° to either side.
NOTE:
Approx. 50 mm (1.97 in) shift will produce a 20 ° movement.
5. Remove any items in the shaded space shown in the figure.
NOTE:
In case the background space shown in the illustration is not available, or if the background is light col-
ored, place a 400 mm (15.75 in) long frosted black board or black cloth to both sides of the target board.
Sensor AdjustmentEKS00BLQ
CAUTION:

Complete all necessary steps for laser beam adjustment until the CONSULT-II indicates "COM-
PLETED". If the procedure does not complete, the ICC system is inoperable.

If CONSULT-II is used without connection to the CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected during self-diagnosis.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
ECS00CDJ
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To 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 must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do 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 and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of A/T and EngineECS00CDK
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:

Be sure to turn the ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect the negative battery cable before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. Will cause the MIL to light up.

Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)

Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. May cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.

Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.

Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned “ON” with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.

If the MIL does not light up, refer to DI-31, "WARNING LAMPS" .
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off. If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
