Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000005929049
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005929050
Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body c ontrol module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting and turn signal switch). When the light ing switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM
receives an input signal requesting the headlamps (and ta il lamps) illuminate. The request is then communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN communication lines.
The CPU (central processing unit) located in t he IPDM E/R controls ground for the headlamp high and head-
lamp low relay coils. These relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate. When the
headlamp switch is OFF or in the 1ST position (parking lamps ON), the parking brake is released and the
engine is running, the IPDM E/R de-energizes the headlamp relays and supplies ground to the daytime light
relay 1 to actuate the daytime light function.

• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59
• through grounds E15 and E24,
HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM re ceives an input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The CPU located
in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low re lay coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to daytime light relay 2 terminals 1 and 5 (energizing the relay),
• through daytime light relay 2 terminal 3
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 3, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24,
• to headlamp RH terminal 2 via
• daytime light relay 1 terminals 3 and 4
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and high beam s witch in the HIGH position, the BCM receives input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash-to-pass feature can be used any time and
also sends a signal to the BCM. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R and the combination
meter via the CAN communication lines. The CPU locat ed in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay
coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 1, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 55
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24, and
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 2 via
• daytime light relay 1 terminals 3 and 4
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
The BCM sends a signal to the combination meter requesting the high beam indicator lamp to turn ON.
Daytime Light System Operation
With the lighting switch in the OFF or 1ST position (parking lamps ON), the BCM receives inputs requesting
the headlights off. If the parking brake is released and the engine is running, the BCM then sends a signal, via
the CAN communication lines, requesting the IPDM E/R to activate the daytime light system. The CPU located
in the IPDM E/R controls the daytime light relay 1 coil, which when energized, directs power
• from daytime light relay 1 terminal 3
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 2,
• through front combination lamp RH high beam terminal 1

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-49
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Clutch pedal Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-6
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-6
and
BR-20
Parking brake Check that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-5
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the se-
lector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes. —
CVT P (Park) position

Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.

Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble
and correct it. MA-37, "EXHAUST SYS-

Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause
and correct it immediately. —

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts i f found
damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to the FL section.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000
km) or 60 months. Use only Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% an ti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
(5) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.
