NOTE:
 When data link connector branch line is open, transmi
ssion and reception of CAN communication signals
are not affected. Therefore, no symptoms occur. However, be sure to repair malfunctioning circuit.
 The model (all units on CAN communication system are Diag on CAN) cannot perform CAN diagnosis with
CONSULT-III if the following error occurs. The error is judged by the symptom.
Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electr ic Unit (Control Unit) Open Circuit
Unit name Major symptom
ECM
Normal operation.
BCM
EPS control unit
Combination meter
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit)
TCM
IPDM E/R
Error Difference of symptom
Data link connector branch line open circuit Normal operation.
CAN-H, CAN-L harness short-circuit Most of the units which are connected to the CAN communication
system enter fail-safe mode or are deactivated.
SKIB8740E
Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM  Reverse warning chime does not sound.
 The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wip-
er switch being in the intermittent position.
EPS control unit The steering effort increases.
Combination meter  The shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
 The speedometer is inoperative.
 The odo/trip meter stops.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
 The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
 The cooling fan continues to rotate.

CAN Diagnosis with CONSULT-IIIINFOID:0000000006220519
CAN diagnosis on CONSULT-III extracts the root
cause by receiving the following information.
 Response to the system call
 Control unit diagnosis information
 Self-diagnosis
 CAN diagnostic support monitor
SKIB8741E
Unit name Major symptom
ECM  Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
 Engine speed drops.
BCM  Reverse warning chime does not sound.
 The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front
wiper switch being in the intermittent position.
 The room lamp does not turn ON.
 The engine does not start (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the igni- tion switch OFF.)
 The steering lock does not release (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the ignition switch OFF.)
EPS control unit The steeri ng effort increases.
Combination meter  The tachometer and the speedometer do not move.
 Warning lamps turn ON.
 Indicator lamps do not turn ON.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
 The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
 The cooling fan continues to rotate.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006238426
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR 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 “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t 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 Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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 minu tes before performing any service.
Precautions for Trouble DiagnosisINFOID:0000000006220528
CAUTION:
 Never apply 7.0 V or more to the measurement terminal.
 Use a tester with open terminal voltage of 7.0 V or less.
 Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect th e battery cable from the negative terminal when
checking the harness.
Precautions for Harness RepairINFOID:0000000006220529
 Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area.
NOTE:
A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).
