SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005533831
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR 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 whether 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 inoperative, 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 unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses 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 electric 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 minutes before performing any service.

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Component Parts and Harness Connector Location INFOID:0000000005283303
System Description INFOID:0000000005283304
Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body control module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM receives an input sig-
nal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communica-
tion lines, to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) requesting the headlamps be
turned ON. The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls ground for the headlamp high
and headlamp low relay coils. These relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
• to headlamp high relay RH and LH (located in IPDM E/R),
• to headlamp low 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 50A fusible link (letter j, located in fuse and fusible link block)
• to BCM terminal 70,
• through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 57, and
• through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 1.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• to the ignition relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 38,
• through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 2.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67
• to combination meter terminals 3 and 21
• through grounds M57 and M61, and
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59
• through grounds E9, E15 (all models) and E24 (with MR20DE).

With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives an input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. The BCM then sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the IPDM E/R requesting the low
beam headlamps be turned ON. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls ground to the headlamp low relay
coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to headlamp RH terminal 3, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to headlamp LH terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminals 5
• through grounds E9, E15 (all models) and E24 (with MR20DE).
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and high beam switch in the HIGH position, the BCM receives an input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and
also sends a signal to the BCM. This input signal is then communicated to the IPDM E/R and the combination
meter via the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relays
(LH and RH), which when energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to headlamp RH terminal 6, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 55
• to headlamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminal 5
• through grounds E9, E15 (all models) and E24 (with MR20DE).
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the combination meter requesting the high
beam indicator lamp be turned ON.
