PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951582
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.
General precautions fo r service operationsINFOID:0000000009463538
• Do not work with wet hands.
• The xenon headlamp system includes a high voltage generating
part. Be sure to disconnect batte ry negative cable (negative termi-
nal) or power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the
xenon headlamp (including lamp bulb).
• Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connecting the connector.
• When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated, do
not touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.
• When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehicle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.
• Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not touch the headl amp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because
it is very hot.
• Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket co rrectly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona dis-
charge may occur that can melt the bulb, connector or housing. Do not illuminate the xenon headlamp bulb
out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.
• When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.
• Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long period of time can deteriorate the perfor- mance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Al ways prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when replac-
ing the bulb.
• When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjus tment screw only in the tightening direction. If it
is necessary to loosen the screw, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in the tightening direction.
• Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SY STEM : System DiagramINFOID:0000000009463547
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYST EM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463548
System Description
The daytime light system is equipped with a daytime light control that activates the daytime lights within the
front fog lamp assembly when the engine is operating. If the parking brake is applied, the daytime lights will
turn OFF. The daytime lights will turn ON when the parking brake is released.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake swit ch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to operate the daytime light s ystem. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/ R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the daytime lights.
FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM
FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM : System DiagramINFOID:0000000009463549
FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463550
The front fog lamps are activated with the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). The lighting
switch signal to the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch reading function. When the fog lamps
are turned ON with the lighting switch, the BCM sends a front fog lamp request signal via CAN communication
lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R grounds the front fog lamp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.
FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the lighting switch is in front fog lamp ON position and also in 1st or 2nd position or AUTO position
(headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the HEAD LAMP 1, 2 ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The
BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM
E/R then turns ON the front fog lamp re lay sending power to the front fog lamps.

TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING LAMPS : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463552
TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal swit ch) is in LH or RH turn position with the ignition
switch in the ON position, the BCM receives input reques ting the turn RH or turn LH lamps to illuminate. The
BCM controls the turn signal power to the respective turn signal lamp. The BCM also sends a turn indicator
signal ON request via the CAN communication lines to the combination meter. The combination meter then
activates the appropriate turn signal indicator and audible buzzer.
HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
When the hazard switch is in the ON position, the BC M receives input requesting the hazard lamps illuminate.
The BCM controls the turn signal power to both the LH and RH turn signal lamps. The BCM sends a hazard
indicator signal ON request via the CAN communication lines to the combination meter. The combination
meter then activates both the LH and RH turn signal indicators and audible buzzer.
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS : System DiagramINFOID:0000000009463553
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TA IL LAMPS : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463554
PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS OPERATION
When the lighting switch is in 1st or 2nd position, BCM detects the LIGHTING SWITCH 1st or 2nd POSITION
ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM
E/R then activates the tail lamp relay which sends power to the parking and instrument illumination circuits.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 1st or 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the exterior lamps remain illumi nated for a period of time unless the lighting switch posi-
tion is changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the exterior lamps are turned off.
