ILLUMINATION
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005929150
The control of the illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting switch. When the
lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position, the BCM (body control module) receives input signal
requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to IPDM E/R (intelligent
power distribution module engine room) across CAN communication lines. CPU (central processing unit)
located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil . This relay, when energized, directs power to the illu-
mination lamps, which then illuminate.
Power is supplied at all times
• to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R,
• to tail lamp relay, located in IPDM E/R,
• through 15A fuse (No. 52, located in IPDM E/R) and
• through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in IPDM E/R)
• to CPU located in IPDM E/R,
• through 40A fusible link (letter g, located in fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM terminal 70, and
• through 10A fuse [No. 8, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 57.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R, and
• through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 38.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No. 20, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67
• through grounds M57 and M61
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59, and
• through grounds E15 and E24.
ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND positi on, BCM receives input signal requesting the illumination
lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicat ed to IPDM E/R across CAN communication lines. CPU
located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil, which, when energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 37, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 29
• to illumination control switch terminal 1
• to VDC OFF switch terminal 3 (with VDC)
• to audio unit terminal 9
• to front air control terminal 5
• to A/T shift selector terminal 3 (with 4-speed A/T)
• to CVT shift selector terminal 3 (with CVT)
• to hazard switch terminal 3
• to combination meter terminal 12
• to door mirror remote control switch terminal 16
• to combination switch (spiral cable) terminal 26 (with steering wheel audio control switches)
• to steering wheel audio control switches through combinat ion switch (spiral cable) terminal 18 (with steering
wheel audio control switches).
Ground is supplied
• to VDC OFF switch terminal 4 (with VDC)
• to illumination control switch terminal 3, and
• through grounds M57 and M61.
The illumination control switch controls illuminat ion intensity by varying the ground to the following
• through illumination control switch terminal 2
• to audio unit terminal 8
• to front air control terminal 6
• to A/T shift selector terminal 4 (with 4-speed A/T)
• to CVT shift selector terminal 3 (with CVT)

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

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. —

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (HR16DE)
1. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and thenremove radiator cap.
• Front
When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open
water drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to EM-90
.
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing. Refer to CO-16, "
Component".
3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system.
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank and cylinder block drain plug, if removed for a total
system drain or for engine removal or repair.
• The radiator must be complete ly empty of coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder bl ock drain plugs. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-42, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heat er ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
•Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or
equivalent, mixed with distil led water or demineralized
water.
Refer to MA-15, "
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio".
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be vi sible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-7, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighte n them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wh eel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
• Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to WT-13, "
ID Registration Procedure".

CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
• Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard
(between MAX and MIN lines).
• Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leaks.
• Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leaks.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : Drain and RefillINFOID:0000000005931180
CAUTION:
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe th em with cloth and wash it away with water.
• Before working, disconnect connect ors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal, loosen the bleed valve, and gradually remove the brake fluid.Wheel nut tightening
