 PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” GKS000MG

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 harnesses or
harness connectors.

 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) PFP:284B2

A
System Description GKS000MI

BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION B
BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper,
washer and turn signal) in addition to a function for controlling the operation of various electrical components.
Also it has an interface function allowing it to receive signals from the theorem control amp. (manual A/C), and C
send signals to ECM using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
D
Description
● BCM reads combination switch (lighting switch, wiper switch) status, and controls various electrical com-
ponent according to the result.
E
● BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5).
Operation description F
● BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) periodically, and allows current to flow in
turn.
● If any (1 or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) and input terminals G
(INPUT 1 - 5) becomes active.
● At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) are activated to allow current to flow. When
voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects H
voltage change, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.

 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

Operation table of BCM and combination switches

BCM reads operation status of the combination switch using the combinations shown in the table below.

SKIB7614E

NOTE:
Headlamp system has a dual circuit.
Front Wiper Intermittent Operation
Front wiper intermittent operation is determined from a combination of 3 switches (INT VOLUME 1, 2, and 3)
and vehicle speed signal.
Wiper Intermittent Dial Position Setting
Wiper intermittent dial Intermittent operation Combination switch
position interval INT VOLUME 1 INT VOLUME 2 INT VOLUME 3
1 Short ON ON ON
2 ON ON OFF
3 ON OFF OFF
↑
4 OFF OFF OFF
↓
5 OFF OFF ON
6 OFF ON ON
7 Long OFF ON OFF

Example: For wiper intermittent dial position 1

Using combination switch reading function, BCM detects ON/OFF status of INT VOLUME 1, 2, and 3.
When combination switch status is as listed below, BCM determines that it is wiper Intermittent dial position 1.
● INT VOLUME 1: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 3 and input 1.)
● INT VOLUME 2: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 5 and input 1.)
● INT VOLUME 3: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 4 and input 2.)

Revision: 2005 September BCS-4 C11

 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

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 A
OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
● When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges that lighting
switch 1ST position is ON. Then BCM sends tail and clearance request signal to IPDM E/R using CAN B
communication.
● When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and recog-
nizes that lighting switch 1ST position is continuously ON. C

BCS
SKIB7615E

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

Revision: 2005 September BCS-5 C11

 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

Operation Mode
Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.
1. Normal mode
When BCM is not in sleep mode, each OUTPUT terminals (1 - 5) sends out ON signal every 10 ms inter-
val.
2. Sleep mode
When BCM is in sleep status, BCM enters low power mode. Mean while output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
send out ON signal every 60 ms, and accept only input from lighting switch system.

SKIB7616E

CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL

CAN communication allows a high rate of information transmission through the two communication lines (CAN
L line, CAN H line) connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit transmits/receives
data but selectively reads required data only. For details of signals that are transmitted/received by BCM via
CAN communication, refer to LAN-16, "CAN Communication Unit" .

Revision: 2005 September BCS-6 C11

 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)

BCM STATUS CONTROL

BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption. A
1. CAN communication status
● With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
B
● Control by BCM is being operated properly.

● 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
C
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status
● This status is to prepare for shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF. D
● BCM transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.

● Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, sleep transient status switches to CAN
communication inactive status. E
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. F

● Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication inactive status
switches to sleep status.
4. Sleep status G
● BCM is activated with low power mode.

● CAN communication is not active.

H
● When a state of the following switches changes, sleep status switches to CAN communication state.

– Ignition switch (ACC, ON)

– Hazard switch
I
– Door lock and unlock switch

– Front door switch (driver side, passenger side)

– Rear door switch (RH, LH) J

– Trunk lid opener switch

– Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1ST position)

– Keyfob (lock/unlock signal) BCS

– Unlock sensor (front door lock actuator driver side)

● When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, sleep status switches to CAN communica-
tion inactive mode. L
