Nissan Pathfinder: Do-it-yourself - Variable voltage control system

CAUTION

• Do not ground accessories directly to the battery terminal. Doing so will bypass the variable voltage control system and the vehicle battery may not charge completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the engine running to avoid discharging the vehicle battery.

NOTE: If the battery is completely drained the transmission will not manually shift to other positions.

Your vehicle is equipped with a variable voltage control system. This system measures the amount of electrical discharge from the battery and controls voltage generated by the generator.

The current sensor A is located near the battery along the negative battery cable.

If you add electrical accessories to your vehicle, be sure to ground them to a suitable body ground such as the frame or engine block area.
