PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPSPFP:26550
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003SH
System DescriptionNKS003SI
The control of the parking, license plate and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting
switch (combination switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM (body control
module) receives input signal requesting the parking, license plate and tail lamps to illuminate. This input sig-
nal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN
communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay
coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to parking, license plate and tail lamps, which then illuminate.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
through 15A fuse (No. 71, located in IPDM E/R)
to CPU located in IPDM E/R, and
to tail lamp relay located in IPDM E/R,
through 15A fuse (No. 78, located in IPDM E/R)
to CPU located in IPDM E/R,
through 50A fusible link (letter F, located in fuse, fusible link and relay block)
to BCM terminal 55,
through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 42,
through 10A fuse [No. 22, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to key slot terminal 1.

INTERIOR ROOM LAMP
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
INTERIOR ROOM LAMPPFP:26410
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003T0
System DescriptionNKS003T1
BCM (body control module) controls interior lamp, room lamp timer and interior lamp battery saver.
The following signals are input to BCM:
Door lock/unlock trunk open request signal from the Intelligent Key unit via CAN communication
Key cylinder switch status signal from power window main switch via power window serial link
Door switch signal from door switches (driver side, passenger side, rear LH and RH)
IGN power supply (signal) from PDU (power distribution unit)
ACC power supply (signal) from PDU
ROOM LAMP TIMER BASIC OPERATION
Applicable lamps
Room lamp system: map lamp, foot lamp (driver side and passenger side) and personal lamp (rear LH
and rear RH).
1. When getting on the vehicle
Lamps illuminate by timer operation when driver side door or passenger side door is unlocked.*
Lamps illuminate by timer operation after any door is open and then all doors are closed.*
Timer operation stops and lamps are OFF, when driver side door is locked or the push-button ignition
switch (push switch) is turned to ACC or ON from OFF.
*: This setting can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 2 8 3 , "
WORK SUPPORT (INT LAMP)" .

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
Oil pans (lower and upper)
Oil pan drain plug
Oil pressure switch
Oil filter
Oil filter bracket (AWD models)
Oil cooler
Water pump cover
Chain tensioner cover
Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve
Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
Mating surface between front timing chain case and rear timing chain case
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder head
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder block
Mating surface between rear timing chain case and oil pan (upper)
Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil to rubber parts such as drive belts and engine mounting insulator.
6. Remove water pipes, as necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through engine coolant inlet. If necessary,
replace oil cooler.
Relief Valve
Check relief valve with the following procedure.
Press steel ball of relief valve using a clean plastic stick. Make sure that valve moves smoothly and proper
spring repulsion is felt.
Replace relief valve, if necessary, with the following procedure.
–Remove the relief valve by prying using a screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mounting hole.
–Press in the relief valve until it reaches a depth of 7 mm (0.28 in) from end surface of oil pan (upper) using
approximately 10 mm (0.39 in) diameter drift.
CAUTION:
Carefully press in the relief valve by aligning its mounting hole side with the axle center so as not
to cause deformation.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Make sure that no foreign objects are adhering to the installation planes of oil cooler, oil pan (upper) (2WD
models) or oil cooler bracket (AWD models).
2WD Models
Align cutout on oil cooler with protrusion on oil pan (upper) side, and
tighten connector bolt.
AW D M o de l s
Align cutout on oil cooler with protrusion on oil cooler bracket side, and tighten connector bolt.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level and the engine coolant level and add engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to
LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL" and CO-11, "ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Start the engine, and check there is no leaks of engine oil or engine coolant.
