Nissan Murano: System Description / Diagnosis System (awd Control Unit)

Nissan Murano (Z52) 2015-2024 Service Manual / Transmission & Driveline / Driveline :: Transfer: Ty21c / System Description / Diagnosis System (awd Control Unit)

CONSULT Function

CAUTION:

After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go to ”sleep mode”, potentially causing a discharged battery and no-start condition.

APPLICATION ITEMS

CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes as follows:

Diagnostic test mode Function
ECU Identification AWD control unit part number can be read.
Self Diagnostic Result Self-diagnostic results and freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.*
Data Monitor Input/Output data in the AWD control unit can be read.
Active Test Diagnostic Test Mode in which CONSULT drives some actuators apart from the AWD control unit and also shifts some parameters in a specified range.
Work support This mode enable a technician to adjust some devices faster and more accurately by following the indication on the CONSULT.

*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing:

  • DTC

  • Freeze frame data (FFD)

ECU IDENTIFICATION

AWD control unit part number can be read.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT

Refer to DTC Index.

When “PRSNT” is displayed on "Self Diagnostic Result".

  • The system is presently malfunctioning.

When “PAST” is displayed on "Self Diagnostic Result".

  • System malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is presently normal.

FREEZE FRAME DATA (FFD)

The following vehicle status is recorded when DTC is detected and is displayed:

Freeze Frame Data Item Description
IGN COUNTER [0 - 39]

The number of times that ignition switch ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.

  • When “0” is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.

  • When except “0” is displayed: It indicates that system malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is presently normal.

    NOTE:

    Each time when ignition switch OFF to ON, numerical number increases in 1→2→3...38→39.

    When the operation number of times exceeds 39, the number do not increase and “39” is displayed until self-diagnosis is erased.

ACTIVE TEST

Use this mode to determine and identify the details of a malfunction based on self-diagnostic results or data monitor. AWD control unit gives drive signal to actuator with receiving command from CONSULT to check operation of actuator.

Test item Condition Description

ETS S/V

(Detects AWD solenoid)
  • Nissan Murano Vehicle stopped

  • Engine running

  • No DTC detected

Change command current value to AWD solenoid, and then change driving mode. (Monitor value is normal if it is within approx. ±10% of command value.)

  • Qu: Increase current value in increments of 0.2 A

  • Qd: Decrease current value in increments of 0.2 A

  • UP: Increase current value in increments of 0.02 A

  • DOWN: Decrease current value in increments of 0.02 A

CAUTION:

Never energize continuously for a long time.

    The knee air bag is located in the knee bolster, on the driver’s and passenger’s side. All of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual apply and must be followed. The knee air bag is designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain collisions.
