Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM ".

  1. CHECK TERMINAL "1" CONNECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Verify terminal "1" is clean and tight.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 2.

      NO: Repair terminal "1" connection. Confirm repair by performing complete Charging system test using EXP-800 NI or GR8-1200 NI (if available). Refer to the applicable Instruction Manual for proper testing procedures.

  2. CHECK TERMINAL "1" CIRCUIT 

    Check voltage between generator connector E204 terminal 1 and ground.
