U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464681
CAN COMMUNICATION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
line for real time applications. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicle is equipped with many electronic control units , and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected
with 2 communication lines (CAN-H, CAN-L) allowing a hi gh rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads the required data only.
CAN communication signal chart. Refer to LAN-32, "CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communica-
tion Signal Chart".
ITS COMMUNICATION
• ITS communication is a multiplex communication system . This enables the system to transmit and receive
large quantities of data at high speed by connecting control units with 2 communication lines.
• ITS communication lines adopt twisted-pair line st yle (two lines twisted) for noise immunity.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951640
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 severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct 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 SR 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 three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009464716
• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a s hop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.
Precautions For Harness RepairINFOID:0000000009464717
ITS communication uses a twisted pair line. Be careful when repairing it.

SYSTEM
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system provides a
lane departure warning function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or more.
• When the vehicle approaches either the left or the ri ght side of the traveling lane, a warning will sound and
the lane departure warning lamp (orange) on the combination meter will blink to alert the driver.
• The warning does not occur during turn signal operation (Lane change side).
• The warning function will stop when the vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.
EXAMPLE
When the vehicle approaches the right lane marker, the driv er is alerted by the buzzer and the blinking of lane
departure warning lamp (orange).
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• When the system is turned ON by operating the warning systems switch, ITS control unit turns ON the warn-
ing systems ON indicator.
• Rear view camera monitors lane markers of the trav eling lane. It transmits the detected lane condition signal
to ITS control unit via ITS communication.
• When judging from a lane marker detection signal that the vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the ITS
control unit controls the following item to alert the driver.
- Activates warning buzzer
- ITS control unit transmits a lane departure warning lamp signal to combination meter via CAN communica- tion and turns ON/OFF the lane departure warning lamp (orange).
OPERATING CONDITION
• Warning systems ON indicator: ON
• Vehicle speed: approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or more
• Turn indicator signal: After 2 seconds or more from turned OFF
NOTE:
• When the LDW system setting on the vehicle information display is ON.
• After the operating conditions of warning are satisfi ed, the warning continues until the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 60 km/h (40 MPH)
• The LDW system may not function properly, depending on the situation. Refer to DAS-82, "Precautions for
Lane Departure Warning"

REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING
The rear camera unit “1” for the LDW/BSW syst
ems is located above the rear license plate.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW systems and pr event a system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
• Always keep the camera lens clean. Be careful not to damage the nozzle of the automatic washer and
blower.
• Do not attach ”license plate accessories” that reflect light.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
• LDW system is only a warning device to inform the dr iver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of cont rol. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• The camera unit may not detect properly under the following conditions:
- When towing a trailer.
- When strong light enters the camera unit. (For exampl e, direct sunlight or headlight from the rear.)
- When ambient light changes instantly. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes
under a bridge.)
• Automatic washer and blower may not be able to secure detection capability when excessive dirt adheres on the camera lens.
• Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehi cle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The camera unit may not be able to detect properly under the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply c ontrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW syst em could detect these items as lane markers.)
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When the road surface is very dark due to scarce ambient light or impaired tail lamp.
• When driving on a curved road, warning will be late on the outside of the curve due to the nature of the sys-
tem.
