BODY CONTROL SYSTEM
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776377
OUTLINE
 BCM (Body Control Module) controls
the various electrical components. It inputs the information required to
the control from CAN communication and the si gnal received from each switch and sensor.
 BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation status of combination switches (light,
turn signal, wiper and washer) in addition to a function fo r controlling the operation of various electrical com-
ponents. It also has the signal transmission function as the passed point of signal and the power consump-
tion control function that reduces the power consumption with the ignition switch OFF.
 BCM is equipped with the diagnosis function that perfo rms the diagnosis with CONSULT-III and various set-
tings.

AIR PRESSURE MONITOR : Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776404
DESCRIPTION
During driving, the TPMS receives the signal transmitt
ed from the transmitter installed in each wheel, when
the tire pressure becomes low. The control unit (BC M) of this system has pressure judgment and trouble diag-
nosis functions.
When the TPMS detects low inflation pressure or anot her unusual symptom, the warning lamps in the combi-
nation meter comes on.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC PROCE DURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-III)
Without CONSULT-III
To start the self-diagnostic results mode, ground terminal of the tire pressure warning check connector. The
malfunction location is indicated by the warning lamp flashing.
NOTE:
When the low tire warning lamp flashes 5 Hz and continues repeating it, the system is normal.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003776979
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have thei r INFINITI dealers perform them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed fr om time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge at least once a month and always prior to a
long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear. —
Wheel lug nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary. WT-41, "
Adjustment"
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). MA-29, "
Rotation"
Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)
transmitter componentsReplace the TPMS transmitter grommet seat, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age.
WT-43, "Transmitter
(Pressure Sensor)"
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed. MA-28, "Balancing
Wheels", FSU-6, "Front
Wheel Alignment"
Windshield wiper
blades
Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
—
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make
sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary
latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently. MA-33, "
Lubricating
Locks, Hinges and Hood
Latches"
Lamps
Make sure that the head lamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head
lamp aim. Clean the head lamps on a regular basis. EXL-143, "HEADLAMP :
Aiming Adjustment"
Item
Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimes Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly.
WCS-4, "
WARNING
CHIME SYSTEM : Sys-
tem Description"
Windshield wiper and
washerCheck that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.
—
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering
condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises. ST-15, "
On-Vehicle In-
spection and Service"
Seats
Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches
lock securely for folding-down rear seat backs. —
