System Description INFOID:0000000001527585

Operation Description
• Turn rear window defogger switch ON when the ignition switch is turned ON. Then A/C and AV switch I
assembly (rear window defogger switch) transmits rear window defogger switch signal to BCM.
• BCM transmits rear window defogger control signal to IPDM E/R and display unit via CAN communication
when rear window defogger operates. J
• IPDM E/R turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay ON when rear window defogger switch
signal is received.
• Rear window defogger and door mirror defogger are supplied with power and operate when rear window
K
defogger relay and heated mirror relay turn ON.
• Rear window defogger ON is displayed when signal is received.
Timer function DEF
• BCM turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay ON for approximately 15 minutes when rear
window defogger switch is turned ON while ignition switch is ON. It makes rear window defogger and door
mirror defogger operate.
• Timer is canceled after pressing rear window defogger switch again during timer operation. Then BCM turns M
rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay OFF. The same reaction also occurs during timer opera-
tion, if the ignition switch is turned OFF.

PRECAUTIONS
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSION- B
ER" INFOID:0000000001527618

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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. D
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: E
• To avoid rendering the SR 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.
F
• 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 SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this G
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

INSPECTION
1. When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of the neg-
ative probe. Then press the foil against the wire with your finger.

SEL122R

2. Attach probe circuit tester (in Volt range) to middle portion of

each filament.

3. If a filament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or battery

voltage.
4. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along fil-
ament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.

REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
cloth dampened in alcohol. C
2. Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
drawing pen.
Shake silver composition container before use. D
3. Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive silver
composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap existing
heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of the break.

4. After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for conti-
nuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
composition is deposited. G
Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.

5. Apply a constant stream of hot air directly to the repaired area J

for approximately 20 minutes with a heat gun. A minimum dis-
tance of 3 cm (1.2 in) should be kept between repaired area and
hot air outlet. K
If a heat gun is not available, let the repaired area dry for 24
hours.
