VEHICLE MARKS
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
No image is displayed. The brightness is at the lowest setting. Adjust the brightness of the display.
The display is turned off. Press and hold the button to turn on the
display.
No voice guidance is available.
The volume is too high or too low. The volume is not set correctly, or it is turned
off. Adjust the volume of voice guidance.
No map is displayed on the
screen. The DVD-ROM is not inserted, or it is inserted
upside down. Insert the DVD-ROM correctly.
A screen other than map screen is displayed. Press the “MAP” button.
The pickup lens of the DVD unit is dirty. The pickup lens can become dirty depending
on the usage of the vehicle. Contact a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for pickup lens
cleaning.
The screen is too dim.
The movement is slow. The temperature in the interior of the vehicle is
low. Wait until the interior of the vehicle has
warmed up.
Some pixels in the display are
darker or brighter than others. This condition is an inherent characteristic of
liquid crystal displays. This is not a malfunction.
Some menu items cannot be
selected. Some menu items become unavailable while
the vehicle is driven. Park the vehicle in a safe location, then oper-
ate the navigation system.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations dif-
fer between plan view and BIRD-
VIEW
™ . This is because the quantity of the displayed
information is reduced so that the screen does
not become difficult to read. There is also a
chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed several times, and the names
appearing on the screen may be different
because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle mark is not displayed
in the correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition
switch was turned off, for example, by a ferry or
car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle mark
may be incorrect depending on the driving envi-
ronments and the levels of positioning accuracy
of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a while to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle mark.
When the vehicle is travelling on a
new road, the vehicle mark is
located on another road nearby. The system automatically places the vehicle
mark on the nearest available road, because
the new road is not stored in the map data. Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the DVD-ROM.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the
headlights were turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
button when turning on the headlights.
The map does not scroll even
when the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not dis-
played. Press the “MAP” button.

System DescriptionNKS00300
For the unified meter and A/C amp., the signal required for controlling the combination meter are inte-
grated in the A/C auto amp.
The unified meter and A/C amp. corresponds to a CONSULT-II function (self-diagnosis results, CAN diag-
nosis support monitor, data monitor).
COMBINATION METER CONTROL FUNCTION
Unified meter and A/C amp. receives necessary information for combination meter from each unit by CAN
communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits a signals with communication line (TX, RX) between unified meter
and A/C amp. and combination meter.
Input/output signals between unified meter and A/C amp. and combination meter.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide guides)
during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for possible damage or
pinching.
Heat Sensitive
The customer's concern may occur during hot weather or after car
has sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a
heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs
while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the compo-
nent.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freezing
somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for
the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked outside
overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of
those electrical components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer
long enough for any water to freeze. Reinstall the part into the car
and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs, repair or
replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy
weather. In such cases the incident could be caused by water intru-
sion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking the car
or running it through a car wash.
Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.
Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with
all accessories (including A/C, rear window defogger, radio, fog
lamps) turned on.

Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may occur when
the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to keep the car overnight to
make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a thor-
ough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and follow
the correct test procedure.
You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring har-
ness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE:
Refer to “How to Check Terminal” to probe or check terminal.
Testing for “Opens” in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the system. This
will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will also reinforce your work-
ing knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the resistance
function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol). Make sure to always start
with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this example)
Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an
over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the cir-
cuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infi-
nite resistance condition. (point B)
Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or
infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit.
SHORT There are two types of shorts.
SHORT CIRCUIT
When a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the normal resistance to
change.
SHORT TO GROUND When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the circuit.
