Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
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 feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, unless the combination switch (lighting
switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed, then the headlamps
are turned off.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
Refer to LT- 4 8 , "System Description" for auto light operation.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (PANIC ALARM)
The vehicle security system (panic alarm) will flash the high beams if the system is triggered. Refer to BL-48,
"Panic Alarm Operation" .
CAN Communication System DescriptionEKS00B7U
Refer to LAN-26, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .

CONSULT-II Function (BCM)EKS00B81
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II OPERATION
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 carries out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II and CON-
SULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector, then turn igni-
tion switch ON.
2. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)".
3. Touch "BCM" on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. If "BCM" is not indicated, go to GI-40, "
CONSULT-II Data Link
Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
BCM diagnostic
test item Diagnostic mode
Description
Inspection by part WORK SUPPORT

for setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are
received from the BCM and received data is displayed.
DATA MONITOR Displays BCM input/output data in real time. ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Displays BCM self-diagnosis results.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read. ECU PART NUMBER BCM part number can be read.CONFIGURATION Performs BCM configuration read/write functions.

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

Basic illuminating area for adjustment should be within the range shown on the aiming chart.
Adjust headlamps accordingly.
Bulb Replacement EKS00B8A
CAUTION:

Disconnect battery negative terminal before touching xenon bulb or headlamp wiring harness
assembly.

Turn headlamp switch OFF before disconnecting headlamp harness connector.

Do not touch bulb by hand right after being turned off. Burning may result.

Do not touch the glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep grease and other oily substances away from
it.

Do not turn xenon bulb ON when xenon bulb is removed from front combination lamp assembly.

After installing the bulb, be sure to install the bulb socket securely to ensure watertightness.

Do not leave bulb out of front combination lamp assembly for a long time because dust, moisture,
smoke, etc. may affect the performance of the lamp. When replacing bulb, be sure to replace it
with a new one.
