2006 NISSAN PATROL ESP

Operation
The auto ampli®er receives data from each of the sensors. The ampli®er sends air mix door and mode door
opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU and mode door motor LCU.
The air mix door motor and mode door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal.
Opening angle indication signals received from the auto ampli®er and each of the motor position sensors are
compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/
COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto ampli®er.
Transmission data and transmission order
Ampli®er data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in ®gure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto ampli®er is selected according to data-based decisions made by the air mix
door motor and mode door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is normal, door control
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle: Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check: Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled.
The error check prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor and mode door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
+Abnormal electrical frequency
+Poor electrical connections
+Signal leakage from transmission lines
+Signal level ¯uctuation
Stop signal: At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is
delivered to the auto ampli®er. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Component parts
Mode door control system components are:
1) Auto amp.
2) Mode door motor (LCU)
3) In-vehicle sensor
4) Ambient sensor
5) Sunload sensor
6) Intake sensor
System operation
The auto ampli®er receives data from each of the sensors. The ampli®er sends air mix door and mode door
opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU and mode door motor LCU.
The air mix door motor and mode door motor read their respective signals according to the address signal.
Opening angle indication signals received from the auto ampli®er and each of the motor position sensors are
compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently, HOT/
COLD or DEFROST/VENT operation is selected. The new selection data is returned to the auto ampli®er.

DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER WHILE MOUNTED IN VEHICLE
When disposing of a vehicle, deploy air bag modules and seat belt
pre-tensioners while they are mounted in vehicle.
CAUTION:
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner,
ensure vehicle is empty.
1. Disconnect both the vehicle battery cables and wait 3 minutes.
2. Disconnect air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners con-
nector.
3. Connect deployment tool (SST: KV99106400) to air bag mod-
ule or seat belt pre-tensioner.
For front passenger air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner,
attach deployment tool adapter (SST: KV99108300 and
KV999R0020) to the tool connector.
4. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal
and black clip to negative terminal.
5. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked ``deployment tool
power'', should glow green, not red.
6. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on
the tool, marked ``air bag connector voltage'', will illuminate and
the air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner will deploy.
CAUTION:
Activate only one passenger air bag module or seat belt pre-
tensioner at a time.
DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER
Deployed air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners are very
hot. Before disposing of air bag module, and seat belt pre-
tensioner, wait at least 30 minutes, and 10 minutes, respectively.
Seal them in a plastic bag before disposal.
CAUTION:
+Never apply water to a deployed air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
+Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
+No poisonous gas is produced upon air bag module
deployment. However, be careful not to inhale gas since it
irritates throat and can cause choking.
+Do not attempt to disassemble air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
+Air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner cannot be re-
used.
+Wash your hands clean after ®nishing work.
