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.

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.
Control system Transmit control unit Control part
Lamp control BCM Headlamps (HI, LO)
Front fog lamps
Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps
Wiper control BCM Front wipers
Rear window defogger control BCM Rear window defogger
A/C compressor control ECM A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Cooling fan control ECM Cooling fan
Horn control BCM Horn
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp (low) is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp (low) is OFF.
Parking, license plate side marker, and
tail lamps With the ignition switch ON, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps is OFF.
Cooling fan With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.
With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiper Until the ignition switch is turned OFF, the front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status
it was in just before fail-safe control was initiated.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger relay OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF
