ILLUMINATION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R
across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil,
which, when energized, directs power

Part name Function
RAS control unit

Calculate the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication and the signals from steering
angle sensor and rear wheel steering angle sensor by a computer, and then control the rear
wheel steering angle.

Fail-safe function is activated when the electrical system is malfunctioning. The output signal
to the actuator is turned OFF during this mode. At that time, the RAS warning lamp illumi-
nates and indicates the system is malfunctioning.

It performs the communication control function with other control units via CAN communica-
tion.

This enables system diagnosis with CONSULT-II.
RAS actuatorThe efficiency of the rear wheel steer improves by locating the electric motor actuator into the
lower link of rear suspension.
Steering angle sensor

Measure the steering angle and send it to RAS control unit via CAN communication.

It is shared with the steering angle sensor for VDC.
Rear wheel steering angle sensor

It sends the rear wheel steering angle status to RAS control unit. The accuracy of rear wheel
steer improves by comparing the vehicle speed signal from CAN communication with the
rear wheel steering angle target value calculated from the wheel angle sensor signal, and it
controls them.

There are 2 types of rear wheel steering angle sensors (main/sub). If one of them is malfunc-
tioning, the other operates the fail-safe mode and stops the control.
RAS warning lamp

It turns on when the fail-safe function is operated and indicates that a RAS control malfunc-
tion has occurred.

It turns on when ignition switch turns on and turns off after the engine is started.

It indicates the suspect system by blinking when performing the self-diagnosis (without CON-
SULT-II).

How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results
1. Perform applicable inspection of malfunctioning item and then repair or replace.
2. Start engine, and touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” “RAS/HICAS” “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and
“ERASE” in this order to erase the diagnostic memory.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, repeat step 1, 2.
3. Perform self-diagnosis again, and make sure that DTC memory is erased.

Diagnosis Procedure with Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-II)NGS000EL
DESCRIPTION
If a malfunction is detected in the system, the RAS warning lamp turns on and indicates the malfunction. At
that time, fail-safe activates, and then stops the function.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Start engine.
2. Turn steering wheel left and right at 20° or more and 5 times or more within 10 seconds. And then depress
the service brake 5 times or more.
3. RAS warning lamp blinks (displays normal/malfunction).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
RAS warning lamp blinks and displays the self-diagnostic results.

Only DTCs are displayed as the pattern shown in the figure, and
then repeat the display.

If all items are normal, RAS warning lamp blinks at 4 Hz cycle.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY ITEMS
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS
If there is the history data for when the fail-safe has activated in the past, erase the memory with CONSULT-II.
Refer to STC-29, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
CAN CommunicationNGS000EM
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. Refer to LAN-50, "
CAN Sys-
tem Specification Chart" .
