PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00011
A
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER" EKS00FSH
The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along B
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 C
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: D
G 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
G Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section. F
G 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
harness connectors.

Fuse EKS00GGO
A
G If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of incident before
installing new fuse.
G Use fuse of specified rating. Never use fuse of more than speci-
fied rating. B
G Do not partially install fuse; always insert it into fuse holder prop-
erly.
C
G Remove fuse for "ELECTRICAL PARTS (BAT)" if vehicle is not
used for a long period of time.
D
CEL083
Fusible Link EKS00GGP
A melted fusible link can be detected either by visual inspection or by feeling with finger tip. If its condition is E
questionable, use circuit tester or test lamp.
CAUTION:
G If fusible link should melt, it is possible that critical circuit (power supply or large current carrying F
circuit) is shorted. In such a case, carefully check and eliminate cause of incident.
G Never wrap outside of fusible link with vinyl tape.
G Never let fusible link touch any other wiring harness, vinyl or rubber parts. G
Circuit Breaker (Built Into BCM) EKS00GGQ
For example, when current is 30A, the circuit is broken within 8 to 20 H
seconds.
A circuit breaker is used for the following systems:
G Power seat I
G Power windows
G Power sunroof
J
SBF284E PG
Circuit Breaker (PTC) EKS00IML
The PTC thermistor generates heat in response to current flow. The L
temperature (and resistance) of the thermistor element varies with
current flow. Excessive current flow will cause the element's temper-
ature to rise. When the temperature reaches a specified level, the
electrical resistance will rise sharply to reduce the circuit current. M
This reduced current flow will cause the element to cool lowering the
resistance accordingly. Once resistance falls to a specified level nor-
mal circuit current flow is allowed to resume.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System Description EKS009HZ
G IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuit.
G IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal reception, etc.
G It controls operation of each electrical component via BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:
G Head lamps (High, Low)
G Parking lamps
G Tail lamps
G License plate lamps
G Cornering lamps
G Front fog lamps
G Daytime light system (Canada only)
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnet clutch).
5. Starter control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN-L line, CAN-H
line), it is possible to transmit a maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control
G When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication returns to normal operation, it also returns to normal control.
G Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
G With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp low relay is ON.
Headlamp G With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp low relay is OFF.
G With the ignition switch ON or OFF, the headlamp high relay is OFF.
G With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON.
Tail and parking lamps
G With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Revision: May 2006 PG-18 2007 Maxima
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
A
G With the ignition switch ON, cooling fan relay 1 and 3 are ON and cooling fan operates at
Cooling fan high speed.
G With the ignition switch OFF, all cooling relays are OFF.
B
Until the ignition switch is turned off, the front relays remain in the same status they were in
Front wiper
just before fail-safe control was initiated.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger relay is OFF.
C
A/C compressor A/C relay is OFF (magnet clutch is OFF).
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay is OFF.
Horn Horn relay is OFF. D
Cornering lamps Cornering lamp relays are OFF.
G With the ignition switch ON, daytime light output is activated (front fog lamp relay is ON).
Daytime lights (Canada only) E
G With the ignition switch OFF, daytime light output is OFF (front fog lamp relay is OFF).
IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition. F
1. CAN communication status
G CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
G Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed. G
G When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status
H
G Process to stop CAN communication is activated.
G All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 1 second has elapsed after CAN communica-
tion with other control units is stopped, mode switches to sleep status.
I
3. Sleep status
G IPDM E/R operates in low current-consumption mode.
G CAN communication is stopped.
J
G When a change in CAN communication signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication sta-
tus.
G When a change in ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication status.
PG
CAN Communication System Description EKS00IMN
Refer to LAN-4, "SYSTEM DESCRIPTION" .
L
Function of Detecting Ignition Relay Malfunction EKS009I0
G When the integrated ignition relay is stuck in a "closed contact" position and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM
E/R turns ON tail lamps, parking lamps, and daytime lights (Canada only) for 10 minutes to indicate IPDM M
E/R malfunction.
G When the state of the integrated ignition relay does not agree with the state of the ignition switch signal
received via CAN communication, the IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay and front fog lamp relay
(Canada only).
