< BASIC INSPECTION >[AIR LEVELIZER CONTROL SYSTEM]
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Check harness and connectors based on the information obtained by interview. Refer to
GI-40,
"Intermittent Incident".
7.FINAL CHECK
With CONSULT-III
1. Check the reference value for “E-SUS”.
2. Recheck the symptom and check that the symp tom is not reproduced on the same conditions.
Is the symptom reproduced?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> INSPECTION END

Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the inte rview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006226148
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 whether 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 inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air ba g 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
 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 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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wh eel Rotation after Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000006226149
NOTE:
 Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables.
 After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
 Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the batte ry disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wil l remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

< PRECAUTION >[WITH INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM]
PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot
h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006226150
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

COMPONENT PARTS
Component Description
INFOID:0000000006226152
A/T Shift Selector (Detention Switch)INFOID:0000000006226153
Detention switch detects that A/T sh ift selector is in the P position, and then transmits the signal to BCM and
IPDM E/R.
BCM confirms the A/T shift selector position with the following 5 signals.
 P position signal from A/T shift selector (detention switch)
 P/N position signal from TCM
 P position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from TCM (CAN)
IPDM E/R confirms the A/T shift select or position with the following 3 signals.
 P position signal from A/T shift selector (detention switch)
 P/N position signal from TCM
 P/N position signal from BCM (CAN)
BCMINFOID:0000000006226154
BCM controls INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (ENGIN E START FUNCTION), INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBI-
LIZER SYSTEM-NATS [IVIS (NATS)], and VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM.
BCM performs the ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key when the Intelligent Key is carried into the
detection area of inside key antenna, and push-button ignition s witch is pressed. If the ID verification result is
OK, push-button ignition switch operation is available.
