Work End.

Configuration (around View Monitor Control Unit) Nissan Pathfinder Fifth generation

Description

Vehicle specification needs to be written with CONSULT because it is not written after replacing the around view monitor control unit.

The configuration requires network connection. CONSULT connects to network and then it downloads the configuration data from the server. Then CONSULT writes the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle specification to the around view monitor control unit.

Refer to Work Procedure.

NOTE:

For details on the network connection and operation, refer to “CONSULT Operation Manual”.

The configuration doesn’t need to “save” configuration data from the around view monitor control unit. The configuration data is always generated fresh from the server and then downloaded to the CONSULT.

CAUTION:

Complete the procedure of “Configuration” in order.

If incorrect “Configuration”, incidents might occur.

Work Procedure

WRITING VEHICLE SPECIFICATION

CONSULT

Perform writing Nissan Pathfinder vehicle specification to around view monitor control unit following "Automatic Configuration" procedure of "Configuration" according to CONSULT Operation Manual.

NOTE:

Log into the network according to CONSULT instructions.

For details on the network connection and operation, refer to “CONSULT Operation Manual”.

Work End.

Writing of Calibration Data Nissan Pathfinder Fifth generation

Work Procedure

WRITE CALIBRATION DATA

CONSULT

Select "CALIBRATING CAMERA IMAGE" in "Work Support" mode of "AVM".
Check that the status of each camera is displayed as "Normal".

Is the status of each camera displayed as "Normal"?

YES>>

Inspection End

Calibrate the camera that is not displayed as "normal". Refer to Work Procedure.

Calibrating Camera Image (intelligent Around View Monitor) Nissan Pathfinder

Work Procedure

Calibration must be performed after removing/replacing the cameras, removing parts (e.g. front grille, door mirror, and others) mounted on the cameras, or replacing the around view monitor control unit.
The use of CONSULT is required to perform calibration or writing of calibration results to the around view monitor control unit.
Align the white lines on the road near the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle at the boundary of each camera image by this camera calibration. The white lines far from the vehicle may not be aligned at the boundary of each camera image. The farther the line, the greater the difference is.
Following the flowchart shown in the figure, perform the calibration.

CAUTION:

When around view monitor control unit is replaced, Write the calibration data before performing camera image calibration. Refer to Work Procedure.

CHECK AROUND VIEW MONITOR SCREEN

Check that there is no indication of “Incomplete calibration”.

NOTE:

View in the incomplete calibration state is indicated by “ ” on the around view monitor.

Is the “Incomplete calibration” display visible?

GO TO 3.

NO>>

GO TO 2.

PERFORM SIMPLIFIED CONFIRMATION BY BIRDS-EYE VIEW SCREEN

Check the gap between each camera image on a birds-eye view screen.

Does the gap between each camera image exist?

YES>>

GO TO 3.

NO>>

Work End.

PREPARATION OF TARGET LINE 1

NOTE:

If a target line is narrow, it is hard to confirm it with around view monitor screen. The width of the target line recommends an approximately 5.0 - 10.0 cm (1.97 - 3.94 in).

It is easy to confirm a target line on a around view monitor screen when draw a target line with a color opposite to a working floor.

Example

Floor is blue: target line is yellow

Floor is green: target line is red

Preparation of target line 1

Hang a string with a weight as shown in the figure. Put the points FM0, RM0 (mark) on the ground at the center of the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle front end and rear end with white packing tape or a pen.

Thread Weight Point FM0 (mark)

Point RM0 (mark) Packing tape (to fix the vinyl string) Vinyl string
Route the vinyl string under the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle, and then pull and fix it on the point approximately 1.0 m (39.9 in) to the front and rear of the vehicle through the points FM0 and RM0 using packing tape.

A : Approx.1.0 m (39.9 in)
Put the points FM and RM (mark) 75 cm (29.5 in) from the points FM0 and RM0 individually.

A : Approx. 75 cm (29.5 in)
Route the vinyl string through the points FM and RM using a triangle scale, and then fix it at approximately 1.5 m (59.0 in) on both sides with packing tape.

A Approx. 1.5 m (59.0 in)
Put the points FL, FR, RL, and RR (mark) to both right and left [Nissan Pathfinder vehicle width / 2 + 30 cm (11.8 in)] from the points FM and RM.

A : Approx. 30 cm (11.8 in)
Draw the lines of the points FL – RL and FR – RR with vinyl string, and fix it with packing tape.
Put a mark on the center of each axle , draw vertical lines to the lines of the points FL – RL and FR – RR from the marks on the center of the axle using a triangle scale, and then fix the lines using packing tape.
