Acronym

Acronyms don't have to spell a word.

They do; if you are to use the word in its strictest sense. You can decompose the root words.

Websters might have acquiesced to common (incorrect) usage, but Webster's is crap.

E85 - 85% Ethanol (15% gasoline)
ECM - Engine Control Module (sometime ECU)
ESCL - Electronic Steering Column Lock (see SLU). Lots of failures on early models.

The GI (General Information) section of the FSM has the official Nissan acronyms/abbrevs. Eg:

L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color: Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
