Fail-Safe
  • If any malfunction occurs in AWD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, AWD warning icon/display on information display is displayed to indicate system malfunction.

  • When AWD warning icon/display is displayed, Nissan Murano vehicle changes to front-wheel drive or shifts to 4-wheel drive (rear-wheels still have some driving torque).

DTC AWD warning icon/display Possible cause Nissan Murano Vehicle condition
C1201

Internal malfunction of AWD control unit Front-wheel drive or shifts to 4-wheel drive (Rear-wheels still have some driving torque)
C1203

Protection Function

AWD system activates its protection function (shuts down AWD system temporarily) if AWD system detects high load continuously or the front wheel tire size differs from the rear tire size. (AWD system is automatically restored if AWD system no longer detects any overload or the tire size difference is eliminated.)

AWD warning icon/display Possible cause Nissan Murano Vehicle condition
