This manual contains maintenance and repair procedures for the 2014
NISSA
N ALTIMA Sedan.
In order to assure your safety and the efficient functioning of the vehicle,
this manual should be read thoroughly. It is especially important that the
PRECAUTIONS in the GI section be completely understood before starting
any repair task.
All information in this manual is based on the latest product information
at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes in specifi-
cations and methods at any time without notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of
the technician and the effici ent functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a
manner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician
and the tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service
procedures, tools or parts which are not specifically recommended
by NISSAN must first be completely satisfied that neither personal
safety nor the vehicle’s safety will be jeopardized by the service
method selected.

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
• BCM reads the status of the combinat
ion switch at 10 ms intervals normally.
NOTE:
BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 60 ms intervals when BCM is controlled at low power
consumption control mode.
• BCM operates as follows and judges the status of the combination switch.
- It operates the transistor on OUTPUT si de in the following order: OUTPUT 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5, and outputs
voltage waveform.
- The voltage waveform of OUTPUT corresponding to the formed circuit is input into the interface on INPUT
side if any (1 or more) switches are ON.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [
ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL
UNIT)]
ACTIVE TEST
The active test is used to determine and identify details of a malfunction, based on self-diagnosis test results
and data obtained in the DATA MONITOR. In response to instructions from CONSULT, instead of those from
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) on the vehicle, a drive signal is sent to the actuator to check its
operation.
CAUTION:
• Never perform ACTIVE TEST while driving the vehicle.
• Always bleed air from brake system before active test.
• Never perform active test when system is malfunctioning.
NOTE:
• When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depressing stroke may change. This is not a malfunction.
• “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed approx. 10 seconds after operation start.
• When performing active test again after “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, select “BACK”.
• ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON during active test. This is not a malfunction.
ABS IN Valve and ABS OUT Valve
When “Up”, “Keep” or “Down” is selected on display sc reen, the following items are displayed when system is
normal.
*: Immediately after being selected, status is “O n”. Status changes to “Off” after approx. 2 seconds.
ABS IN Valve (ACT) and ABS OUT Valve (ACT)
When “Up”, “ACT UP” or “ACT KEEP” is selected on di splay screen, the following items are displayed when
system is normal.

result. Refer to BRC-33, "CONSULT Function (ABS)"
.
Are self diagnostic results indicated?
YES >> If poor contact, damage, open or short circuit of connector terminal is found, repair or replace.
NO >> GO TO 4
4.CHECK ECM AND TCM SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT
1. Perform ECM self diagnostic result. Refer to EC-77, "CONSULT Function"
(QR25DE) or EC-601, "CON-
SULT Function" (VQ35DE).
2. Perform TCM self diagnostic result. Refer to TM-43, "CONSULT Function"
(RE0F10D) or TM-245, "CON-
SULT Function" (RE0F10E).
Are self diagnostic results indicated?
YES >> Check the corresponding items. • ECM: Refer to EC-105, "DTC Index"
(QR25DE) or EC-630, "DTC Index" (VQ35DE).
• TCM: Refer to TM-60, "DTC Index"
(RE0F10D) or TM-263, "DTC Index" (RE0F10E).
NO >> Replace ABS actuator and electr ic unit (control unit). Refer to BRC-128, "Removal and Installa-
tion".

Regarding Wiring Diagram information. Refer to CHG-12, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
When performing this in spection, always use a charged battery that has completed the battery inspec-
tion. (When the charging rate of the battery is lo w, the response speed of the voltage change will
become slow. This can cause an incorrect inspection.)
1.CHECK ECM (CONSULT)
Perform ECM self-diagnosis with CONSULT. Refer to EC-77, "CONSULT Function"
(QR25DE) or EC-601,
"CONSULT Function" (VQ35DE).

HANDLING PRECAUTION
Precautions for Lane Departure WarningINFOID:0000000009464727
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.
