System Description INFOID:0000000009718074
DESCRIPTION
• AWD controls distribution of drive power between front-wheel drive (100:0) and 4-wheel drive (50:50) condi-
tions according to signals from sensors.
• By receiving the steering angle sensor signal, yaw rate sensor signal, side G sensor signal and decel G sen-
sor signal, vehicle with VDC corrects a torque distribution for front and rear wheels according to a driving
operation and a behavior of the vehicle during cornering and improves drivability and safety on a slippery
road surface.
• It transmits/receives each signal from the following AWD control unit via CAN communication line.
Component parts Function

Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
• Vehicle speed signal
• Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
• Yaw rate sensor signal
• Side G sensor signal
• Decel G sensor signal
ECM • Accelerator pedal position signal
• Engine speed signal

AWD SYSTEM
Component parts Function
A
Transmits conditions of parking brake switch signal via CAN communication to AWD con-
trol unit.
Combination meter Receives the following signals via CAN communication from AWD control unit.
• AWD warning lamp signal B
• AWD LOCK indicator lamp signal
Transmits conditions of steering angle sensor signal via CAN communication to AWD
Steering angle sensor
control unit. C
AUTO Mode
• 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 sur- DLN
faces.
• On roads which do not require 4-wheel drive, AUTO mode contributes to improved fuel economy by driving
in conditions close to front-wheel drive. E
• Sensor inputs determine the vehicle's turning condition, and tight cornering/braking are controlled by distrib-
uting optimum torque to rear wheels.
NOTE:
Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving condition in AUTO mode. This is not mal- F
function.
LOCK Mode
G
• Front/rear wheel torque distribution is fixed, ensuring stable driving when climbing slopes.
• Vehicle will switch automatically to AUTO mode if vehicle speed increases. If vehicle speed then decreases,
the vehicle automatically returns to direct 4-wheel driving conditions. The AWD LOCK indicator lamp keeps
illuminating. H
• LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the vehicle has been driven at a high speed.
The AWD LOCK indicator lamp turns off.
• LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the ignition switch is turned “OFF”. I
NOTE:
• Every time AWD lock switch is pressed, AUTO mode and LOCK mode switch each other.
• If there is a significant difference in pressure or wear between tires, full vehicle performance is not available.
Tire conditions are detected, and LOCK mode may be prohibited, or else speeds at which LOCK mode is J
enabled may be restricted.
• Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions: LOCK mode,
steering wheel is turned fully to either sides, and accelerator pedal is depressed. K
CAUTION:
Never switch to LOCK when rotation speed of front and rear wheel differs.

PRECAUTIONS
FOR USA AND CANADA
FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR
BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000009718129
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
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.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with
a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal is removed before ECU
stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may
occur. C
• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main bat-
tery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch.
NOTE: DLN
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of
SEF289H
main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be
detected.
• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC. E
NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
FOR USA AND CANADA : Service Notice or Precautions for Transfer INFOID:0000000009718131

• After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer oil.

• Check the oil level or replace the oil only with the vehicle parked on level surface. G
• During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
• Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern. Fit-
ting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause lon- H
gitudinal vibration.
• Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
• Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter. I
• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be
certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
• All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or J
reassembly.
• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new one if necessary.
• Gaskets, seals, O-rings and lock nuts should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled. K
• In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, use it.
• Observe the specified torque when assembling. L
• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transfer. M
