SERVICE PROCEDURE

Remote Controller Battery Check and Replacement

Figure 1:





1. Remove the remote controller battery lid (Figure 1). For Maxima, 300ZX and 240SX only: Use a suitable tool, a quarter works best.

CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or a knife. These tools may damage the cover.

Figure 2:





2. Remove the remote controller battery(s) from the lid (Figure 2).





3. Check the remote controller terminals. Clean and repair as necessary (Figure 3).





4. Use a high impedance volt-ohmmeter and a 300 ohm resistor in parallel to check the voltage of the remote controller battery(s) (Figure 4). If 2.5 volts or greater, the battery is O.K. If less than 2.5 volts, replace the battery(s). (300 ohm resistors are available from local electronics suppliers, e.g. Radio Shack.)

Note
If you do not have a 300 ohm resistor, install a new battery(s).

5. With the battery(s) removed, "reset" the remote controller by pressing the door lock button on the remote controller one time.




6. Install the battery(s) onto the lid properly (Figure 5).

7. Install the lid with the battery(s) onto the controller (Figure 6). FOR MAXIMA, 300ZX & 240SX ONLY: Include the rubber ring and turn the lid to the close position.

NOTES:
1. Make sure the lid cover mark and the controller mark are aligned properly. If not, there is a possibility the plus terminals in the controller are deformed. The battery(s) will discharge quickly if the plus and minus terminals are shorted,

2. Do not deform the rubber ring.

8. Press the buttons several times near the vehicle to check their operation.
