Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217756
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in
“WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R. NOTE:
 For the fuse number, refer to EC-114, "
Wiring Diagram".
 For the fuse arrangement, refer to PG-143, "
Fuse, Connector and Terminal Arrangement".
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
LOW FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
 Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
 The fuel hose connection method used when taking fuel pressure check must not be used for other
purposes.
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical syst ems operating (i.e. lights, rear defogger, A/C,
etc.) Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readin gs due to varying engine load and changes in
manifold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Prepare fuel hose for fuel pressure check (B) and fuel tube adapter [SST (KV10118400)] (D), then connect fuel pressure
gauge (A).
CAUTION:
 Use suitable fuel hose for fuel pressure check (genuine
NISSAN fuel hose without quick connector).
 To avoid unnecessary force or tension to hose, use mod-
erately long fuel hose for fuel pressure check.
 Do not use the fuel hose for checking fuel pressure with damage or cracks on it.
 Use Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
3. Disconnect fuel feed hose from fuel tube. Refer to EM-43, "
Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.

FRONT COMBINATION LAMP
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : Xenon HeadlampINFOID:0000000006213889
OUTLINE
 The lamp light source is by the arch discharge by
applying high voltage into the xenon gas-filled bulb instead
of the halogen bulb filament.
 Sight becomes more natural and brighter because the amount of light are gained adequately and the color of
light is sunshine-like white.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.
ILLUMINATION PRINCIPLE
1. Discharging starts in high voltage pulse between bulb elec- trodes.
2. Xenon gas is activated by curr ent between electrodes. Pale light
is emitted.
3. The luminous tube (bulb) temperature elevates. Evaporated halide is activated by discharge. The color of light changes into
white.
NOTE:
 Brightness and the color of light may change slightly immediately after the headlamp turned ON until the xenon bulb becomes sta-
ble. This is not malfunction.
 Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is not
malfunction.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Representative malfunction examples are; "Light does not turn ON", "Light blinks", and "Brightness is inade-
quate." The cause often be the xenon bulb. Such malf unctions, however, are occurred occasionally by HID
control unit malfunction or lamp case malfunction. S pecify the malfunctioning part with diagnosis procedure.
WARNING:
 Never touch the harness, HID control unit, the inside and metal part of lamp when turning the head-
lamp ON or operating the lighting switch.
 Never work with wet hands.
CAUTION:
 Never perform HID control unit circuit diagnosis with a circuit tester or an equivalent.
 Temporarily install the headlamps on the vehicle. Co nnect the battery to the connector (vehicle side)
when checking ON/OFF status.
 Disconnect the battery negative terminal before di sconnecting the lamp socket connector or the har-
ness connector.
 Check for fusing of the fusible link(s), open around connector, short, disconnection if the symptom
is caused by electric error.
NOTE:
 Turn the switch OFF once before turni ng ON, if the ON/OFF is inoperative.
 The xenon bulb drops the amount of light, repeats blinking, and illuminates in red if the bulb reaches the ser-
vice life.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[XENON TYPE]
SYSTEM
 BCM transmits each request signal to IPDM E/R wit
h CAN communication according to ON/OFF condition
by the auto light function.
NOTE:
ON/OFF timing differs based on the sensit ivity from the setting. The setting can be set by CONSULT-III. Refer
to EXL-23, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
The auto light adjustment system automatically, dims/bri ghtens the display and combination meter, according
to brightness outside the vehicle, when lighting switch 1ST or lighting switch 2ND is operated. Refer to INL-11,
"AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM : System Description".
DELAY TIMER FUNCTION
BCM turns the exterior lamp OFF depending on the vehicle condition with the auto light function when the igni-
tion switch is turned OFF.
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF 5 minutes afte r detecting that any door opens. (Door switch ON).
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF a certain period of time* after closing all doors. (Door switch ON →OFF).
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF with the igni tion switch ACC or the light switch OFF.
*: The preset time is 45 seconds. The timer operat ing time can be set by CONSULT-III. Refer to EXL-23,
"HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
NOTE:
When any position other than the light switch AUTO is set, the auto light system function switches to the exte-
rior lamp battery saver function.
AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : System De scription (Except for CANADA)INFOID:0000000006218908
OUTLINE
 Auto light system is controlled by each function of BCM and IPDM E/R.
Control by BCM- Combination switch reading function
- Headlamp control function
- Auto light function
- Delay timer function
- Wiper linked auto lighting function
- Auto light adjustment system
Control by IPDM E/R- Relay control function
 Auto light system has the auto light function (with twilight lighting function), wiper linked auto lighting function
and delay timer function.
- Auto light function automatically turns ON/OFF the exterior lamps* and each illumination automatically,
depending on the outside brightness.
- Wiper linked auto lighting function automatically turn s ON/OFF the exterior lamps* and each illumination
when the light switch is in the AUTO posit ion, according to a front wiper operation.
- When auto light system turns the exterior lamps ON with the ignition switch OFF, delay timer function turns the exterior lamps OFF, depending on the vehicle conditi on with the auto light function after a certain period
of time.
*: Headlamp (LO/HI), parking lamp, side marker lamp, tail lamp and front fog lamp (Headlamp HI and front fog
lamp depend on the combination switch condition.)
NOTE:
The settings of the twilight lighting function and the wiper linked auto lighting function can be changed with
CONSULT-III. Refer to EXL-23, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION (WITH TWILIGHT LIGHTING FUNCTION)
Description
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on with the combination switch reading function.
 BCM supplies voltage to the optical sensor when the ignition switch is turned ON or ACC.
 Optical sensor converts outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to BCM.
 When ignition switch is turned ON, BCM detects out side brightness from the optical sensor signal and
judges ON/OFF condition of the exterior lamp and each illumination, depending on the outside brightness
condition (standard or twilight).
