A hidden feature useful for diagnosing Nissan vehicles

Model: Nissan Nissan Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see a common feature in most Nissan vehicles, which allows for a self-diagnosis test, but that most people may not know about, called "IPDM active self-test". To access this mode, we must keep the driver's door open, then turn on the ignition, and press the door switch ten times; after that, turn off the ignition, and after a moment, turn it back on. If the sequence was done correctly, we will hear the self-diagnosis test start with a honk, the windshield wipers will start working on their own, the headlights will turn on, as well as the cooling fans and the rear defroster, to check for proper operation.
