Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS 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 are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in SEAT BELTS & AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS .
| 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 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 AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS . Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors. |
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper washer, 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 unified meter and A/C amp., and send signals to ECM using CAN communication.

- Description BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls related systems such as head lamps and wipers, according to the 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).
- Operation description 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 (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 voltage change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.
- BCM - Operation table of combination switches BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below. NOTE: Headlamp has a dual system switch.
- Sample operation: (When lighting switch 1st position turned ON) When lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if 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 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 recognizes that lighting switch 1st position is continuously ON. NOTE: Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON, electrical loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be detected by human senses.
- Operation mode Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below. Normal status 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 status, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low current consumption mode. OUTPUT (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF every 10 ms, and only input from light switch system is accepted.
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 CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT .
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
- 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.
- 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 inactive status.
- 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.
- 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 Door lock/unlock switch Front door switch (driver side, passenger side) Rear door switch (LH, RH) Back door opener switch Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1st position, Front fog lamp) Key fob (lock/unlock signal) Key cylinder switch When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication inactive mode. Status of combination switch reading function is changed.
