AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
• Front wiper (LO, HI)
• Front fog lamps
• Parking lamps
• Side marker lamps
• Tail lamps
• License plate lamps
• Daytime running lamps
• Headlamps (LO, HI)
• A/C compressor
• Cooling fans (LO, HI)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Do not start the engine.
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
NOTE:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-100,
"Component Function Check".
• When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Afte r that the horn sounds once, and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
*: Outputs duty ratio of 50% for 5 seconds → duty ratio of 100% for 5 seconds on the cooling fan control module.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Concept of auto active test
• IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door switch signals transmitted by BCM via CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, the CAN communication line between IPDM E/R and BCM is considered normal if the auto
active test starts successfully.
• The auto active test facilitates troubleshooting if any systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication System
INFOID:0000000009461397
In CAN communication system, multiple control units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each control unit
cannot transmit and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communication line. Under this condition, mul-
tiple control units related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.
ERROR EXAMPLE
NOTE:
Each vehicle differs in symptom of each control unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.
Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electric Un it (Control Unit) Open Circuit
JSMIA0442GB
Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM • Reverse warning buzzer does not sound.
• The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wip- er switch being in the intermittent position.
EPS control unit The steeri ng effort increases.
Combination meter • The shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
• The speedometer is inoperative.
• The odo/trip meter stops.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
• The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
• The cooling fan continues to rotate.

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.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. MA-39
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary. MA-39
Tire rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). MA-39
Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)
transmitter compo-
nents Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age. WT-57
Wheel alignment and
balance If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road,
or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed. For additional information regarding tires, refer
to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada)
in the NISSAN Warranty Information Booklet. FSU-25
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —
Windshield wiper
blades Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate properly. Also make sure that
all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lu-
brication frequently. MA-45, "LOCKS, HING-
ES AND HOOD LATCH :
Lubricating"
Lamps
Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and oth-
er lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp
aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. EXL-122
Item
Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimes Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly. —
Windshield wiper and
washer Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak. —
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering condition,
such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in) —
