Operation Description
• When rear window defogger switch is turned ON while ignition switch is ON, the front air control transmits
  rear window defogger switch signal to BCM.
• BCM transmits rear window defogger control signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication when rear window
  defogger operates.
• IPDM E/R turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) ON when rear window
  defogger switch signal is received.
• Rear window defogger and door mirror defogger (if equipped) are supplied with power and operate when
  rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) turn ON.
• Rear window defogger ON is displayed when signal is received.
Timer function
• BCM turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) ON for approximately 15 min-
  utes when rear window defogger switch is turned ON while ignition switch is ON. It makes rear window
  defogger and door mirror defogger (if equipped) operate.
• Timer is canceled after pressing rear window defogger switch again during timer operation. Then BCM turns
  rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) OFF. The same reaction also occurs during
  timer operation, if the ignition switch is turned OFF.

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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
  the event of a collision which 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 the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
  Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
  ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
  tion ON or engine running, DO NOT 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.
Handling for Adhesive and Primer                                                                     INFOID:0000000006250263
• Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable date. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after
  the date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.
• Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
• Open the seal of the primer and adhesive just before application. Discard the remainder.
• Before application, be sure to shake the primer container to stir the contents. If any floating material is found,
  do not use it.
• If any primer or adhesive contacts the skin, wipe it off with gasoline or equivalent and wash the skin with
  soap.
• When using primer and adhesive, always observe the precautions in the instruction manual.
1.   When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of the neg-
     ative probe.Then press the foil against the wire with your finger.

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
• Drawing pen
• Heat gun
• Alcohol
• Cloth
REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1.   Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
     cloth dampened in alcohol.
2.   Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
     drawing pen.
     Shake silver composition container before use.
3.   Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive silver
     composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap existing
     heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of the break.

4.   After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for conti-
     nuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
     composition is deposited.
     Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.
