Nissan 10-Pin Front Radar Sensor Wire Harness Connector – Male & Female OEM | ACC / AEB / FCW

This 10-pin connector is used in Nissan front radar sensor harnesses for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems. Nissan’s front radar module requires a 10-pin connector to carry radar signal processing, CAN bus communication, power, ground, and diagnostic circuits. Available in Male and Female variants, bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

• Pin count: 10-pin
• Gender options: Male / Female
• Housing material: Nylon (PA66)
• Available as: Bare connector or 15cm pre-wired leads
• Application: Front radar sensor (ACC/AEB/FCW) harness
• Compatible brands: Nissan, Infiniti

Nissan Front Radar – Why Connector Integrity Is Safety-Critical

Nissan’s front radar sensor is the primary input for ACC, AEB, and FCW — all active safety systems that can intervene in vehicle control. A degraded radar connector causes the radar module to lose power or CAN bus communication, disabling all radar-dependent safety systems simultaneously. Critically, a partially degraded connector (high resistance rather than open circuit) can cause the radar to report incorrect distances, potentially causing ACC to brake unnecessarily or fail to brake when required. Connector integrity is therefore a safety-critical requirement for radar-equipped vehicles.

Typical 10-Pin Radar Connector Circuit Assignment

• Pins 1–2: Power supply (12V) and ground
• Pins 3–4: CAN High / CAN Low (radar module CAN bus)
• Pins 5–6: Radar signal processing output (target detection data)
• Pins 7–8: ACC/AEB system enable signal and brake request output
• Pin 9: Radar module diagnostic / wake-up signal
• Pin 10: Radar module temperature sensor or shield ground

Fault Codes from Radar Connector Faults

• U0073: CAN bus off (radar module CAN node lost)
• U0100: Lost communication with ECM/PCM (if radar-ECM CAN link is affected)
• C1A00–C1A99: ACC system faults (Nissan CONSULT C-codes)
• C1B00–C1B99: AEB / FCW system faults
• U1000: CAN communication fault (Nissan-specific)

• Infiniti QX50: J55 (2018–present)

Radar Calibration After Connector Repair

After any radar harness repair, a radar sensor calibration (aiming) is required using Nissan CONSULT to ensure the radar is correctly aligned for ACC and AEB operation. Radar calibration requires:

• A flat, level surface with at least 5m clear space in front of the vehicle
• A radar calibration target (Nissan-specific reflector board)
• Nissan CONSULT III Plus or CONSULT IV diagnostic tool
• Correct tyre pressures and vehicle at kerb weight (no heavy loads)

Important: Do not drive the vehicle on public roads with ACC or AEB enabled until radar calibration is complete. An uncalibrated radar may generate false brake interventions or fail to detect obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My ACC stopped working after a minor front-end impact — is this the connector?
A: Yes, this is a common scenario. Even a minor impact that doesn’t damage the radar sensor itself can dislodge or damage the radar connector. Inspect the connector first before replacing the radar module ($500–$1500).

Q: Can I use this connector for an Infiniti vehicle?
A: Yes. Infiniti vehicles share Nissan’s electrical architecture and use the same radar connector family. Verify the pin count and housing geometry match your Infiniti’s radar connector before ordering.

Q: Are terminals included?
A: Yes, terminals are included with all variants.
