FRONT FOG LAMP
Component Parts and Har ness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000005929065
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005929066
The front fog lamps are controlled by lighting switch inputs to the BCM (body control module). The lighting
switch must be in the 1ST or 2ND position with the high beams OFF before the BCM will request the IPDM E/
R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) to turn the front fog lamps on. The BCM requests the
front fog lamps over the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The CPU (central processing unit) of the
IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil ground. When energized, the relay directs power to the front
fog lamps.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times:
• to front fog lamp relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• to ignition 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 the fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM terminal 70,
• through 10A fuse [No. 8, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 57,
• through 10A fuse [No. 13, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 27.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
• to ignition relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• 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
• through grounds E15 and E24.
FOG LAMP OPERATION
The front fog lamp switch is built into the lighting switch. The lighting switch must be in 1ST position or 2ND
position and front fog lamp switch must be ON position for front fog lamp operation. The fog lamp will not oper-
ate with the high beam headlamps ON.
When the front fog lamp switch is in the ON positi on, the BCM sends a request, via the CAN communication
lines, to the CPU of the IPDM E/R to ground the coil side of the front fog lamp relay. The front fog lamp relay
then directs power

The control of the parking, license plate and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position of lighting
switch. When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM (body cont rol module) receives input
signal requesting the parking, license plate and tail lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to
the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU

INFOID:0000000005928694
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:0000000005928695
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.

General maintenance includes those items which shoul d be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or have their NISSAN dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.

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-

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. —
