Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Power generation voltage variable control system
System Diagram
System Description
Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator, engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE: When any malfunction is detected in the power generation variable voltage control system, power generation is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator in the generator.
Component Description

Component part |
Description |
| Battery current sensor | The battery current sensor is installed on the battery cable at the negative terminal. The battery current sensor detects the charging/ discharging current of the battery and sends a voltage signal to the ECM according to the current value detected. |
| ECM | The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging current
of the battery. The ECM judges the battery condition based on
this signal.
The ECM judges whether to request more output via the power generation voltage variable control according to the battery condition. When performing the power generation voltage variable control, the ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the power generation command value to the IPDM E/R. |
| IPDM E/R | The IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command value into a pulse width modulated (PWM) command signal and sends it to the IC regulator |
| Generator (IC regulator) | The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the target
power generation voltage based on the received PWM command
signal.
When there is no PWM command signal, the generator performs the normal power generation according to the characteristic of the IC regulator. |

Description
When the audio system is turned on, a voltage signal is supplied from the AV
control unit to the BOSE speaker
amp. When this signal is received, the BOSE speaker amp. will turn on.
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK AMP ON SIGNAL (BOSE SPEAKER AMP)
Turn audio system ON.

P0182, P0183 FTT sensor
Description
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature
inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from
the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel temperature
input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the
chang ...

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK
If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition
switch OFF and wait for at
least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
