FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
IPDM E/R includes a fail-safe function to prevent malfunction of electrical components controlled by CAN com-
munications in CAN communications occurs.
When fail-safe status is initiated, IPDM E/R remains in steady unit signals are received.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls related systems such as head lamps and wip-
ers, 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, 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 volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.

NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON, electri-
cal 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.
1. Normal status
–When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
–When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT (1 and 5) stop the output, and BCM enters low cur-
rent consumption mode. OUTPUT (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF every 10 ms, and only input from light switch
system is accepted.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS0056Q
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-board multi-
plex 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
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.

CONSULT-II Functions (BCM)AKS007AD
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the following diagnostic test modes: work support, self-
diagnostic results, data monitor and active test through data reception and command transmission via the
BCM CAN communication line.

SULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector, then turn the
ignition switch ON.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
3. Touch “BCM” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
If “BCM” is not indicated, refer to GI-40, "

to BCM (body control module) terminal 55
through 15 A fuse [No. 22, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM (body control module) terminal 42.
When ignition switch ON or START position, power is supplied
through 15 A fuse [No.1, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM (body control module) terminal 38,
through 10 A fuse [No. 84, located in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)]
