On-board electrical equipment — general information (Nissan Primera P10)

Cars of this brand are equipped with a 12 V electrical system with negative grounding. All lighting devices and electrical units are powered by a lead-acid battery, recharged by an alternator. The control lamp located on the instrument panel provides information on the operation of the electrical system, as well as the battery charge. If the lamp does not go out with the engine running, it is possible to assume problems with the battery charge.

This Chapter describes the maintenance and repair procedures for certain components of the on-board electrical system, which include, in addition to the specific ones discussed below, all lighting devices and electrical accessories not directly related to the engine. In addition, diagnostic procedures for general electrical faults are discussed. Information on the battery, alternator, distributor and starter is provided in Chapter Engine electrical system Manuals.

Attention! When performing any repair or maintenance work on components of the electrical system, it is imperative to first disconnect the negative wire from the battery to avoid electrical injury and/or fire.
