Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER” EKS002J7
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.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
● 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 control unit (with manual A/C), A/C auto C
amplifier (with auto A/C), and sends signals to ECM 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 BCM judges switches are ON. G

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
LKIA0096E
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms interval. 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.
4. BCM - Operation table of combination switches
● BCM reads operation status of combination switches by the combination shown in the table.
LKIA0097E
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch for safe operation.
5. Operation mode
BCS-4
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
b. Sleep mode
B
● 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 receives lighting switch
input only.
C
LKIA0098E
● Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is M
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep status
● This is the status to stop CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
● Two seconds after CAN communication with other control unit stops, it switches to CAN communication
inactive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
● With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
● Two seconds after CAN communication with other control unit stops, it switches to CAN communication
inactive status.
4. Sleep status
● BCM is activated with low-current-consumption mode.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
BCS-6
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul- D
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 E
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.
