NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003767029
Symptom Result
Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC, TCS or ABS is acti-
vated.
This is a normal condi-
tion due to the VDC,
TCS or ABS activation. Stopping distance is longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
The brake pedal moves and generates noises, when TCS or VDC is activated due to rapid acceleration or
sharp turn.
The brake pedal vibrates and motor operation noises occur from the engine room, after the engine starts and
just after the vehicle starts.This is a normal, and it is
caused by the ABS op-
eration check.
Depending on the road conditions, the driver may experience a sluggish feel. This is normal, because
TCS places the highest
priority on the optimum
traction (stability). TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over location where friction coefficient
varies, when downshifting, or when fully depressing accelerator pedal.
The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is rotating on a turntable or located on
a ship while the engine is running. In this case, restart the
engine on a normal
road. If the normal con-
dition is restored, there
is no malfunction. At
that time, erase the self-
diagnosis memory. VDC may not operate normally or the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
may illuminate, when running on a special road that is extremely slanted (e.g. bank in a circuit course).
A malfunction may occur in the yaw rate/side G sensor system, when the vehicle turns sharply, such as dur-
ing a spin turn, axle turn, or drift driving, while the VDC function is off (VDC OFF indicator lamp illuminated).
The vehicle speed will not increase even though the accelerator pedal is depressed, when inspecting the
speedometer on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer. Normal (Deactivate the
VDC/TCS function be-
fore performing an in-
spection on a chassis
dynamometer.)
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure warn-
ing lamp turns on.This is not a VDC sys-
tem error but results
from characteristic
change of tire.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003801896
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

WITH AV CONTROL UNIT : System DiagramINFOID:0000000003806025
WITH AV CONTROL UNIT : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003806026
Operation Description
Turn rear window defogger switch ON when the ignition switch is turned ON. Then multifunction switch (rear
window defogger switch) transmits rear window defogger switch signal to AV control unit via AV communica-
tion. AV control unit transmits rear window defogger switch signal to BCM via CAN communication.
BCM turns rear window defogger relay ON and transmits rear window defogger control signal to IPDM E/R
via CAN communication when rear window defogger switch signal is received.
Rear window defogger and door mirror defogger are supplied with power and operate when rear window
defogger relay turns ON.
IPDM E/R transmits rear window defogger control signal to AV control unit via CAN communication.
When receiving the signal, AV control unit indicates rear defogger ON on the display. At the same time, AV
control unit transmits rear defogger control signal to multifunction switch (rear window defogger switch) via
AV communication and illuminates rear defogger switch indicator.
Timer function
BCM turns rear window defogger relay ON for approximately 15 minutes when rear window defogger switch
is turned ON. It makes rear window defogger and door mirror defogger (with door mirror defogger) operate.
Timer is canceled after pressing rear window defogger switch again during timer operation. Then BCM turns
rear window defogger relay OFF. The same reaction also occurs during timer operation, if the ignition switch
is turned OFF.
