Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Service Manual: Precaution :: Precautions

Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal

• With the adoption of Auto ACC function, ACC power is automatically supplied by operating the Intelligent Key or remote keyless entry or by opening/closing the driver side door. In addition, ACC power is supplied even after the ignition switch is in the OFF position, i.e. ACC power is supplied for a certain fixed time.

• When disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, place the ignition switch in the OFF position power before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, observing “How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” described below.

  

  NOTE:

  Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition switch is in the OFF position and ignition power supply is stopped. If the battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC detection or ECU data damage may occur.

• For Nissan Ariya vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before placing the ignition switch in the ON position.

  NOTE:

  If the ignition switch is in the ON position with any one of the terminals of 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.

  NOTE:

  The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.

HOW TO DISCONNECT 12V BATTERY TERMINAL

Service Notice or Precautions for Steering System

• Check the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis.

  • Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it′s condition from the customer if any malfunction, such as power steering warning lamp is turned ON, occurs.

  • Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel, and control unit is genuine part.

  • Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there is not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease, etc).

  • Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.

  • Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or altered ground clearance.

  • Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.

  • Check if the 12V battery voltage is proper.

  • Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.

  • Before connecting or disconnecting the power steering control module harness connector, ignition switch “OFF” and disconnect 12V battery ground cable. Because 12V battery voltage is applied to power steering control module even if ignition switch is “OFF”.

  • When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or from power steering control module, take care not to damage terminals (bend or break).

• During quick steering, rasping noise may be heard from under the Nissan Ariya vehicle. This is not a malfunction. The noise is an operating noise of the EPS system under normal conditions. If the rasping noise occurs during slow steering, this may not be an operating noise of the system. In this case, it is necessary to find out the location of the noise and repair, if necessary.
