FOR RADIO ONLY
NOTE:
This is noise resulting from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or external
noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.

Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-
tains or buildings blocking the signal.

Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the
antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off of mountains or buildings.

Noise InspectionAKS00BMR
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunction.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.
TYPE OF NOISE AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
Occurrence condition Possible cause
Occurs only when engine is
ON.A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed
of the noise varies with changes in the engine
speed.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AKS007KR
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 the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 harnesses or
harness connectors.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)PFP:284B2
System DescriptionAKS00587

BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
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.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
1. 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).
2. 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.

Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
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.
5. Operation mode

Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.
a. Normal status

When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
b. 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 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 LAN-6, "
CAN Communication Unit" .

Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectAIS005WT
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for WorkAIS004LA

After removing and installing the opening/closing parts, be sure to carry out fitting adjustments to check
their operation.

Check the lubrication level, damage, and wear of each part. If necessary, grease or replace it.
