SYSTEM DIAGRAM

INPUT SIGNAL AND OUTPUT SIGNAL

It transmits/receives each signal from the following AWD control unit via CAN communication line:

Component parts Function
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)

Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit:

  • Nissan Murano Vehicle speed signal

  • Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)

  • Yaw rate sensor signal

  • Side G sensor signal

  • Decel G sensor signal

ECM

Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit:

  • Accelerator pedal position signal

  • Engine speed signal

TCM

Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit:

  • Input shaft revolutional signal

  • CVT ratio signal

Combination meter Transmits conditions of parking brake switch signal via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

Receives the following signal via CAN communication from AWD control unit:

  • AWD warning icon/display signal

Steering angle sensor Transmits conditions of steering angle sensor signal via CAN communication to AWD control unit.

DESCRIPTION

  • AWD controls distribution of drive power between front-wheel drive (100:0) and 4-wheel drive (50:50) conditions according to signals from sensors.

  • By receiving the steering angle sensor signal, yaw rate sensor signal, side G sensor signal and decel G sensor signal, Nissan Murano vehicle with VDC corrects a torque distribution for front and rear wheels according to a driving operation and a behavior of the Nissan Murano vehicle during cornering and improves drivability and safety on a slippery road surface.

  • Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.

  • AWD mode makes possible stable driving possible with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.

  • On roads which do not require 4-wheel drive, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close to front-wheel drive.

  • Sensor inputs determine the Nissan Murano vehicle's turning condition, and tight cornering/braking are controlled by distributing optimum torque to rear wheels.

    NOTE:

    Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving condition. This is not malfunction.

    Fuel gauge

    Nissan Murano. Fuel gauge

    The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank.

    The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.

    The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
