SYSTEM
MULTI AV SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006216216
Multi AV system means that the following systems are integrated.
COMMUNICATION SIGNAL
AV control unit function by transmitting/receiving dat a one by one with each unit (slave unit) that configures
them completely as a master unit by connecting between units that configure MULTI AV system with two AV
communication lines (H, L).
Two AV communication lines (H, L) adopt a twisted pair line that is resistant to noise.
AV control unit is connected by CAN communication, and it receives data signal from ECM and combination
meter It computes and displays fuel economy information value with the obtained information. Transmitting/
receiving of data signal is performed by BCM. Also, it transmits the required signal of vehicle setting and
receives the response signal.
AV control unit is connected with front display unit and serial communication, and it transmits the required
signal of display and display control and receives the response signal from front display unit.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM FUNCTION
Description
The AV control unit controls navigation function whil e GPS tuner has built-in map data, GYRO (angle speed
sensor), on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
The AV control unit inputs operation signal with communication signal, through display (touch panel) and multifunction switch and steering switch.
Guide sound is output to front speaker through BOSE am p. from AV control unit when operating navigation
system.
A vehicle position is calculated with the GYRO (angl e speed sensor), vehicle sensor, signal from GPS satel-
lite and map data stored on HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and transmits the map image signal (RGB image, RGB
area, RGB image synchronizing) to the display.
Position Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the current vehicle
position according to the following three types of signals.
Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle speed
sensor
Vehicle turning angle determined by the gyroscope (angular speed
sensor)
The travel direction of the v ehicle determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data, which is stored in the HDD
(Hard Disk Drive) (map-matching), and indicated on the screen with
a current location mark. More accurate data is used by comparing
position detection results from GPS to the map-matching.

The current position is calculated by detecting the travel distance
from the previous calculation point, and its direction change.
Travel distance The travel distance is generat ed from the vehicle speed sensor
input signal. The automatic distance correction function is adopted
for preventing a miss-detection of the travel distance because of
tire wear etc.
Travel direction The gyroscope (angular veloci ty sensor) and GPS antenna (GPS
information) generate the change of t he travel direction. Both have
advantages and disadvantages as per the following descriptions.
Input signals are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with
more detailed travel conditions so that the tr avel direction is detected more accurately.
Map-matching
Map-matching repositions the vehicle on the road map when a new
location is judged to be more accurate. This is done by comparing
the current vehicle position (calculated by the normal position detec-
tion method) from the map data stored in the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
There is a possibility that the vehicle position may not be corrected in the following case, and when vehicle is
driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS in formation is hard to receive. Correct manually the cur-
rent location mark on the screen.
In map-matching, several alternative routes are prepared and pri- oritized in addition to the road judged as currently driving on.
Therefore, due to errors in the distance and/or direction, an incor-
rect road may be prioritized, and the current location mark may be
repositioned to the incorrect road.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current location mark may appear on either of them
alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering wheel and
configuration of the road, etc.

Type Advantage Disadvantage
Gyroscope (angular velocity
sensor) The turning angle is precisely detected.
Errors are accumulated when driving a long dis-
tance without stopping.

tion) The travel direction (North/South/East/West) is
detected. The travel direction is not precisely detected when
driving slowly.

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
RELATED TO ROUTE CALCULATION AND VISUAL GUIDANCE
The vehicle icon is not displayed in
the correct position.The vehicle was transported after the ignition
switch was pressed off, for example, by a ferry
or car transporter.
Drive the vehicle for a while on a road where
GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon
may be incorrect depending on the driving en-
vironments and the levels of positioning accu-
racy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a while to automatically correct the position
and direction of the vehicle icon.
When the vehicle is traveling on a
new road, the vehicle icon is located
on another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map
data, the system automatically places the vehi-
cle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the
night screen even after turning on
the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the
headlights were turned on.
Set the screen to the night screen mode using
The map does not scroll even when
the vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The vehicle icon is not displayed. The current location map screen is not dis-
played.
Press “MAP”.
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position. When using tire chains or replacing the tires,
speed calculations based on the speed sensor
may be incorrect. Drive the vehicle for a while [at approximately
30 km/h (19 MPH) for about 30 minutes] to
automatically correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon posi-
tion, contact an INFINITI dealer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete
(the vehicle icon position is always misaligned
in the same area). Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution

Route guidance is set to off. Turn on route guidance.
Route information is not provided for certain types of roads
(roads displayed in gray). This is not a malfunction.
The auto reroute calculation (or
detour calculation) suggests
the same route as the one pre-
viously suggested. Route calculations took priority conditions into consider-
ation, but the same route was calculated.
This is not a malfunction.
A waypoint cannot be added. Five waypoints are already set on the route, including ones
that you have already passed. A maximum of 5 waypoints can be set
on the route. If you want to go to 6 or
more waypoints, perform route calcu-
lations multiple times as necessary.
The suggested route is not dis-
played. Roads near the destination cannot be calculated.
Reset the destination to a main or or-
dinary road, and recalculate the route.
The starting point and destination are too close. Set a more distant destination.
The starting point and destination are too far away. Divide your trip by selecting one or two
intermediate destinations, and per-
form route calculations multiple times.
There are time restricted roads (by the day of the week, by
time) near the current vehicle location or destination. Set [Use Time Restricted Roads] to

Manifold Absolute Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000006217687
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is installed on the
intake manifold collector. Detects intake manifold pressure, and
transmits a voltage signal to the ECM.
The sensor uses a silicon diaphragm which is sensitive to the
change in pressure. As the pressu
re increases, the voltage rises.
Mass Air Flow Sensor (With Intake Air Temperature Sensor)INFOID:0000000006217688
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor (1) is placed in the stream of intake
air. It measures the intake flow ra te by measuring a part of the entire
intake flow. The mass air flow sens or controls the temperature of the
hot wire to a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire is
reduced as the intake air flows around it. The greater air flow, the
greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the electric current supplied to hot wire is changed to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire as air flow increases. The
ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is built-into t he mass air flow sensor. The sensor detects intake air
temperature and transmits a signal to the ECM.
The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. Electrical
resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the rise in temperature.
*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminals.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) SensorINFOID:0000000006217689
Power steering pressure (PSP) sensor is installed to the power steering high-pressure tube and detects a
power steering load.
This sensor is a potentiometer which transforms the power steering load into output voltage, and emits the
voltage signal to the ECM. The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator and adjusts the throttle valve
opening angle to increase the engine speed and adjusts the idle speed for the increased load.
