Symptom Cause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to DARK side. Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high. Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle
is driving on a dark pink route. System is not malfunction.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow. Temperature inside the vehicle is low. Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen. Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display. System is not malfunction.
Symptom Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW™
Name of the place vary with the
screen. Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing. System is not malfunction.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly. Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF. Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON. The daytime screen is selected by the “SWITCH
SCREENS” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screens
may be inhibited by the automatic illumination
adjustment function. Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by “SWITCH SCREENS”.
Map screen will not scroll in accor-
dance with the vehicle travel. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current
location.
Vehicle mark will not be shown. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current location.
Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite
mark) on the map screen stays
gray. GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the
vehicle is in or behind a building. Move the vehicle out to an open space.
GPS satellite signal cannot be received because
an obstacle is placed on top of the display. Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are located badly. Wait until the location becomes better.
Vehicle location accuracy is low. Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite mark) on the map screen stays gray. Current location is not determined.
Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle. Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and
the deviation will be automatically adjusted.
If advancement or retard still occur, perform
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis
function.
Map data has error or omission. (Vehicle mark is
always deviated to the same position.) As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be
released once a year.

NOTE:
Except for the ordinance-designated cities and the prefectural capitals (Malfunctioning areas may be changed in the updated map disc.)
Indicated route is intermittent. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not
used for the search
(Note) Therefore, the route to
the current location or the passing points may be
intermittent. System is not malfunction.
When the vehicle has passed the
recommended route, it is deleted
from the screen. A recommended route is controlled by each sec-
tion. When the vehicle has passed the passing
point 1, then the map data from the starting point
up to the passing point 1 will be deleted. (The
data may remain undeleted in some area.) System is not malfunction.
Detouring route is recommended. In some areas, highways (gray routes) are not used for the search.
(Note) Therefore, detour
route may be recommended. Set the route closer to the basic route (gray
route).
A detour route may be shown when some traffic
regulation (one-way traffic, etc.) is set at the area
around the starting point or the destination. Slightly move the starting point or the desti-
nation, or set the passing point on the route
of your choice.
In the area where highways (gray routes) are
used for the search, left turn has priority around
the current location and the destination (passing
points). For this reason, the recommended route
may be detouring. System is not malfunction.
Landmarks on the map do not
match the actual ones. This can be happen due to omission or error in
the map data. As a rule, an updated map DVD-ROM will be
released once a year. Wait until the latest
map has become available.
Recommended route is far from
the starting point, passing points,
and destination. Starting point, passing points, and destination of
the route guide were set far from the desired
points because route searching data around
these area were not stored. Reset the destination onto the road nearby. If
this road is one of the highways (gray
routes), an ordinary road nearby may be dis-
played as the recommended route.

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 and 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
Description
BCM reads combination switch (lighting switch, wiper switch) status, and controls various electrical com-
ponent according to the result.
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 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.

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 and clearance lamp request 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.
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.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
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) send out ON signal 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
power mode. Mean while OUTPUT 2, 3, and 4 send out ON signal every 60 ms, and accept only input
from lighting switch system.
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-30, "
CAN Communication Unit" .

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, sleep transient status is switched to
CAN communication inactive 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 inactive status
is switched to sleep status.
4. Sleep status
BCM is activated with low power 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.
