Manual Description
(SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" 2, precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect 2, terminal and Reference Value BCM12, bCM Power Supply Ground Circuit Inspection.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" "SEAT BELT, 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 certain, system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front.

Air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants belted unbelted, information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section Service Manual, to avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury death, the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS can lead personal, injury caused by unintentional activation of the system, pRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS, when working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near sensor(s) with.

When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect, battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service, precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect, this Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob, always use CONSULT to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work, dTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according self-diagnostic results, for models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mechanism is adopted key cylinder.

For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock, steering wheel rotation will become impossible, if steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow procedure below before, supply power using jumper cables battery discharged.

BCM (body control module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed vehicle, 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 various electrical components, also, it functions as an interface that receives signals from the front air control, and sends signals ECM.

BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls various electrical components according results, bCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5), and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5), bCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current flow.

At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current flow, voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface BCM detects, voltage change and BCM determines that switch ON, bCM - Operation table combination switch.

BCM reads operation status of combination switch by the combination shown following table, headlamp has dual system switch, example operation: (When lighting switch 1st position turned ON), when lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON.

OUTPUT transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes INPUT 5, when OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, judges lighting, when OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5 and recognizes that lighting switch 1st position continuously ON, each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10ms intervals.

Electrical loads are activated with a time delay, combination switch reading function has operation modes follows, 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.

BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order save power consumption, with ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally, when ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode possible.
