Section 334 (Fuses & Circuit Breakers): Identification: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting any repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article.
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.
CAUTION:
If fusible link should melt, it is possible that critical circuit (power supply or large current carrying circuit) is shorted. In such a case, carefully check and eliminate cause of incident. Never wrap outside of fusible link with vinyl tape. Never let fusible link touch any other wiring harness, vinyl or rubber parts.
NOTE:
The PTC thermistor type circuit breaker, generates heat in response to current flow. The temperature (and resistance) of the thermistor element varies with current flow. Excessive current flow will cause the element's temperature to rise. When the temperature reaches a specified level, the electrical resistance will rise sharply to control the circuit current. Reduced current flow will cause the element to cool. Resistance falls accordingly and normal circuit current flow is allowed to resume.
NOTE:
If a fuse is blown, ensure to eliminate cause of incident before installing new fuse. Use fuse of specified rating. Never use fuse of more than specified rating. DO NOT partially install fuse; always insert it into fuse holder properly. Remove fuse for "ELECTRICAL PARTS (BAT)" if vehicle is not used for a long period of time.
