CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Checking Exhaust SystemINFOID:0000000001328918
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
 If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking A/T FluidINFOID:0000000001328919
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50 °C (86 to 122 °F) using “COLD” range on A/
T fluid level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T flui d level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go. CAUTION:
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the end of the A/T
fluid charging pipe, with the A/ T fluid level gauge reversed from the normal attachment conditions.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add ATF to the A/T fluid
charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
6. Make the A/T fluid temperature approximately 65 °C (149 °F).

A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temper ature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checki ng data with CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65 °C (149 °F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
 When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
 To check A/T fluid level, inser t the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the en d of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.  If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
 If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-13
(for
VQ35DE) or CO-40
(for VK45DE) and AT-13, "A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refillsame volume with drained ATF.
 To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling, at the same time drain the old ATF
from the radiator cooler hose return side.
 When the color of the ATF coming out is almost same as the color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
 Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.
 Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J AT F will cause deterioration in driveability and A/
T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.
 When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
 Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-26, "
Checking A/T Fluid". If ATF is still dirty, repeat step
2. through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking Transfer FluidINFOID:0000000001328921

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328870
 IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engi ne Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It c ontrols integrated relay via IPDM E/R control circuit.
 IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, and hood switch signal reception, etc.
 It controls operation of each electrical pa rt via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integr ated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R receives a request signal fr om each control unit with CAN communication. It controls each system.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control uni t using two communication lines (CAN-L line, CAN-H
line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of in formation with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
Fail- Safe Control
 When CAN communication with other control units is impos sible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After
CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
 Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition.
1. CAN communication status  CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
 Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
 When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status  Process to stop CAN communication is activated.

 With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
