PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” AKS000Z2

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
● To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connec-
tors.
Precautions for Battery Service AKS003RC

This vehicle is equipped with the automatic window adjusting function. When a door is opened, the window
automatically lowers slightly to avoid contact between the window and the side roof panel. After the door is
closed, the window will automatically raise slightly.

On vehicles equipped with the automatic window adjusting function, lower both the driver and front passenger
side windows before disconnecting the battery cables. This will prevent interference between the side window
and the roof panel when either door is opened/closed.

CAUTION:
After the battery cables are disconnected, do not open/close the driver and/or front passenger door
with the window in the full up position. The automatic window adjusting function will not work and the
side roof panel may be damaged.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) PFP:284B2

A
System Description AKS000Z3

● BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION B
BCM has a combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper
washer, turn signal) in addition to the function for controlling the operation of various electrical components.
Also, it functions as an interface that receives signals from the A/C auto amplifier, and sends signals to ECM C
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
D
1. Description
● BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper washer, turn signal) status, and controls various electrical
components according to the results.
E
● BCM reads information of 20 switches and 5 diagnostic results by combining five output terminals
(OUTPUT 1 - 5) and five input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5).
2. Operation description
F
● BCM outputs battery voltage from input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5) all the time. At the same time output ter-
minals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) activate transistors in turn, and allow current to flow. At this time, if any (1 or
more) of the switches are ON, the input terminals corresponding to these switches detect current flow,
and the interface of BCM detects the condition. Then BCM judges switches are ON. G

BCS-3
 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

3. BCM - Operation table of combination switches

● BCM reads operation status of combination switches by the combination shown in the table.

SKIA3095E

NOTE:
Dual switches are set for head lamps.
4. Example (When lighting switch 1st position is turned ON)
● When lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if
OUTPUT 5 transistor is activated, BCM detects current flow in INPUT 4.
● When OUTPUT 5 transistor is ON, BCM detects current flow in INPUT 4, and judges lighting switch 1st
position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
● When OUTPUT 5 transistor is activated again, BCM detects current flow in INPUT 4, and confirms light-
ing switch 1st position is continuously ON.

SKIA3096E

NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore, after a switch is turned ON,
the electrical loads are activated with a time delay, but this time delay is so short that it cannot be noticed.

BCS-4
 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

5. Operation mode
A
● Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.

a. Normal mode
● When BCM is not in sleep mode, each OUTPUT (1 - 5) terminal turns ON-OFF at 10 ms intervals.
B
b. Sleep mode
● When BCM is in sleep mode, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 2 stop the output, and BCM enters low-cur-
rent-consumption mode. OUTPUTS (3 - 5) turn ON-OFF at 60 ms intervals, and receive lighting switch C
input only.

SKIA3097E

CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL

CAN communication is capable of dealing with a lot of information through the two communication lines (CAN J
L-line, CAN H-line) connecting control units in the system. Also each control unit functions to transmit and
receive data, and reads necessary information only.
BCS
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status L
● With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.

● Control by BCM is being operated properly.

M
● When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.

● Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep status
● This is the status to stop CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.

● It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.

● Two seconds after CAN communication with another control unit stops, it switches to CAN communica-
tion inactive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
● With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.

● With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.

● Two seconds after CAN communication with another control unit stops, it switches to CAN communica-
tion inactive status.

BCS-5
 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

4. Sleep status
● BCM is activated with low-current-consumption mode.

● CAN communication is not active.

● When CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.

● When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication inactive
mode.
● It changes combination switch reading function.

CAN Communication System Description AKS000Z4

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicles are equipped with many electronic control units and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
