CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN
communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
If No CAN Communication Is Available With ECM
If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.

When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/R “DATA MONITOR” that displays “Block” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

PRE-INSPECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC
Basic InspectionINFOID:0000000003775947
The engine start function, door lock function, power distribution system and NATS-IVIS/NMS in the Intelligent
Key system are closely related to each other regarding control. Narrow down the functional area in question
by performing basic inspection to i dentify which function is malfunctioning. The vehicle security function can
operate only when the door lock and power distribution system are operating normally. Therefore, it is easy to
identify any factor unique to the vehicle security system by performing the vehicle security operation check
after basic inspection.
1.CHECK DOOR LOCK OPERATION
Check the door lock for normal operation with the Intelligent Key controller and door request switch.
Successful door lock operation with the Intelligent Key and request SW indicates that the remote keyless entry
receiver and inside key antenna required for engine start are functioning normally.
Identify the malfunctioning point by referring to the DLK section if the door cannot be unlocked.
Can the door be locked with the Intelligent Key and door request switch?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Refer to DLK-206, "
Symptom Table".
2.CHECK ENGINE STARTING
Checks that the engine starts when operating the Intelligent Key.
Does the engine start?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Refer to SEC-104, "
Symptom Table".
3.CHECK STEERING LOCKING
Does the steering lock when operating door switch after switching the power supply from ON position (or ACC
position) to LOCK position?
If door switch is malfunctioning, BC M cannot lock the steering. If BCM does not detect DTC, steering lock unit
is normal.
Does steering lock?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Refer to DLK-71, "
ComponentFunctionCheck".
4.CHECK IGNITION KNOB SWITCH OPERATION
Press ignition knob to check switch operation.
Does the combination meter display any message?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Refer to SEC-42, "
Ignition Knob Switch Check".
5.CHECK VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
Check the vehicle security system for normal operation.
The vehicle security function can operate only when t he door lock and power distribution functions are operat-
ing normally.
Therefore, it is easy to identify any factor unique to the vehicle security by performing the vehicle security
operation check after this basic inspection.
>> Go to SEC-107, "
Vehicle Security Operation Check".

PRE-INSPECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK SECURITY INDICATOR LAMP
1. Lock doors using Intelligent Key or mechanical key.
2. Check that security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds.
Security indicator lamp should illuminate.
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Perform diagnosis and repair. Refer to SEC-47, "
ComponentFunctionCheck".
3.CHECK ALARM FUNCTION
1. After 30 seconds, security indicator lamp will start to blink.
2. Open any door or hood before unlocking with Intelligent Key or mechanical key, or open back door or glass hatch without the presence of Intelligent Key.
Does the alarm function properly?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Check the following. • The vehicle security system does not phase in alarm mode. Refer to SEC-105, "
Symptom
Table".
• Alarm (horn and headlamps) does not operate. Refer to SEC-105, "
Symptom Table".
4.CHECK ALARM CANCEL OPERATION
Unlock any door using Intelligent Key or mechanical key.
Alarm (horn and headlamps) should stop.
OK >> Inspection End.
NG >> Check door lock function. Refer to DLK-21, "
INTELLIGENT KEY : System Description".

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005852251
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 severi ty 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005852252
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecti ng both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″ LOCK ″ position.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS , an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
