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.

• Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, verify ACC power is off. Refer to “How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” below.

  

  NOTE:

  Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition switch is OFF 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 Pathfinder vehicles with 2 batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before ignition switch is ON.

  NOTE:

  If the ignition switch is ON 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

Disconnect 12V battery terminal according to instruction described below.

1. Open the hood.

2. Place ignition switch to the ON position.

3. Place ignition switch to the OFF position with the driver side door opened.

4. Get out of the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle and close the driver side door.

   CAUTION:

   While waiting, never operate the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle such as locking, opening, and closing doors. Violation of this caution results in the activation of ACC power supply according to the Auto ACC function.
