WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti M45 and 2008 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. DAYTIME LIGHT ACTIVE TEST 

    CONSULT-III ACTIVE TEST

    1. Select "DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT" of BCM (HEAD LAMP) active test item.
    2. With operating the test item, check the daytime light operation.
    3. On : Daytime running light ON 

      Off : Daytime running light OFF 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 2.

    NG: GO TO  4.

  2. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL 

    CONSULT-III DATA MONITOR

    1. Select "ENGINE RUN" of BCM (HEAD LAMP) data monitor item.
    2. With operating the engine running or stop, check the monitor status.
    3. Engine running : ENGINE RUN ON 

      Engine stop : ENGINE RUN OFF 

    4. Select "PKB SW" of BCM (HEAD LAMP) data monitor item.

    6. Parking brake ON : PKB SW ON 

      Parking brake OFF : PKB SW OFF 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  3.

    NG: Check BCM CAN communication system. Refer to "CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT ".

  3. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Start engine and release parking brake. Headlamp switch OFF.
    2. Select "DTRL REQ" of IPDM E/R data monitor item.
    3. With operating the parking brake, check the monitor status.

      Parking brake ON : DTRL REQ ON 

      Parking brake OFF : DTRL REQ OFF 

    OK or NG 

    OK: Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF IPDM E/R ".
