PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005928336
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 severity 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 and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 incorrect 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 section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000006411548
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 disconnecting 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 pow er 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.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005928343
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engi ne Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuits.
• IPDM E/R-integrated control circuits perform ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control, oil pressure switch signal reception, etc.
• It controls operation of each electrical co mponent via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R integr ated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the following lamps:
• Headlamps (High, Low)
• Parking lamps
• Tail and license plate lamps
• Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signal s from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnet clutch).
5. Starter control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
8. Daytime light system control (Canada only) Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L-line, CAN
H-line), it is possible to transmit a maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control • When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication returns to normal operation, it also returns to normal control.
• Operation of control parts by IPDM E/ R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp • With the ignition switch ON, headlamp low relay is ON, headlamp high relays are OFF, and
daytime light system (Canada only) is OFF.
• With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp relays are OFF.
Tail, license plate and parking lamps • With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON. • With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Cooling fan • With the ignition switch ON, cooling fan relay-1, relay-2, and relay-3 are ON.
• With the ignition switch OFF, all cooling fan relays are OFF.
Front wiper Until the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper relays remain in the same status they
were in just before fail
−safe control was initiated.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition.
1. CAN communication status • CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
• Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
• When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status • Process to stop CAN communication is activated.
• All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 1 second has elapsed after CAN communica-tion with other control units is st opped, mode switches to sleep status.
3. Sleep status • IPDM E/R operates in low current-consumption mode.
• CAN communication is stopped.
• When a change in CAN communication signal is detec ted, mode switches to CAN communication sta-
tus.
• When a change in ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication status.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005928344
Refer to LAN-7, "System Diagram".
Function of Detecting I gnition Relay MalfunctionINFOID:0000000005928345
• When the integrated ignition relay is stuck in a "closed contact" position and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/
R turns ON tail and parking lamps for 10 minutes to indicate IPDM E/R malfunction.
• When the state of the integrated ignition relay does not agree with the state of the ignition switch signal
received via CAN communication, the IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the tail lamps are OFF.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Concept of Auto Active Test
• IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it re ceives door switch signal from BCM via CAN communi-
cation line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN communication between
IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.
• If any of the systems controll ed by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily diagnosed
using auto active test.
