Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal INFOID:0000000012021746

When disconnecting the battery terminal, pay attention to the following. B

• Always use a 12V battery as power source.
• Never disconnect battery terminal while engine is running.
• When removing the 12V battery terminal, turn OFF the ignition
switch and wait at least 30 seconds. C
• For vehicles with the engine listed below, remove the battery termi-
nal after a lapse of the specified time:
D
D4D engine : 20 minutes ZD30DDTi : 60 seconds
HRA2DDT : 12 minutes ZD30DDTT : 60 seconds
K9K engine : 4 minutes E
M9R engine : 4 minutes
R9M engine : 4 minutes
SEF289H
V9X engine : 4 minutes F
YD25DDTi : 2 minutes
NOTE:
ECU may be active for several tens of seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal G
is removed before ECU stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may occur.
• After high-load driving, if the vehicle is equipped with the V9X engine, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait
for at least 15 minutes to remove the battery terminal.
H
NOTE:
• Turbocharger cooling pump may operate in a few minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
• Example of high-load driving
- Driving for 30 minutes or more at 140 km/h (86 MPH) or more. I
- Driving for 30 minutes or more on a steep slope.
• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON
the ignition switch. J
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of main battery and sub battery discon-
nected, then DTC may be detected.
• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC. BCS
NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT L

PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005414977

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along M
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. N
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 performed by O
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section. P
• 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 har-
ness connectors.

< SERVICE INFORMATION >
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
System Description INFOID:0000000005414978

• BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
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 front air control, and sends signals to ECM
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
• BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls various electrical components according to
the results.
• BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining 5 output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and 5
input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
• BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.
• If any (1 or more) of the switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input termi-
nals (INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
• At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects voltage
change and BCM determines that switch is ON.

BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switch

BCS-4
 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
BCM reads operation status of combination switch by the combination shown in the following table.
A

PKIC0420E F
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch.
Example Operation: (When Lighting Switch 1st Position Turned ON) G
• When lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if OUT-
PUT 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 lighting switch
H
1st position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN 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.
I

BCS

P
PKIC1725E

NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore, after a switch is turned ON, elec-
trical loads are activated with a time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be noticed.
Operation Mode
• Combination switch reading function has operation modes as follows:
Normal status

BCS-5
 BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
• When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
Sleep status
• When BCM is in sleep mode, BCM enters low power mode. OUTPUTS 1-5 turn ON-OFF at 22 ms intervals,
and receives lighting switch input only.

PKIC0489E

CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL

CAN communication allows a high rate of information through the two communication lines (CAN-L, CAN-H)
connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit transmits/receives data, but selectively
reads required data only.
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status
• With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
• 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
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status
• This status shuts down 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 of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive 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.
• Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
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 a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication state:
- Key switch
- Hazard switch

mode.
• Status of combination switch reading function is changed.
