Symptom
Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW ™
Name of the place varies 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 malfunctioning.
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 screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment 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 instrument
panel. Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion. Wait until GPS satellites are visible by mov-
ing the vehicle.
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.

PlaceIn a parking lot
When driving in a parking lot, or other loca-
tion where there are no roads on the map,
matching may place the vehicle mark on a
nearby road. When the vehicle returns to
the road, the vehicle mark may have devi-
ated from the correct location.
When driving in circle or turning the steer-
ing wheel repeatedly, direction errors accu-
mulate, and the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct location.
If after travelling about 10 km (6
miles) the correct location has
not been restored, perform
location correction and, if nec-
essary, direction correction.
Turntable
When the ignition switch is OFF, the navi-
gation system cannot get the signal from
the gyroscope (angular speed sensor).
Therefore, the displayed direction may be
wrong and the correct road may not be
easily returned to after rotating the vehicle
on a turntable with the ignition OFF.
Slippery roads On snow, wet roads, gravel, or other roads
where tires may slip easily, accumulated
mileage errors may cause the vehicle mark
to deviate from the correct road.
Slopes When parking in sloped garages, when
travelling on banked roads, or in other
cases where the vehicle turns when tilted,
an error in the turning angle will occur, and
the vehicle mark may deviate from the
road.
Map data Road not displayed on the map screen
When driving on new roads or other roads
not displayed on the map screen, map
matching does not function correctly and
matches the location to a nearby road.
When the vehicle returns to a road which is
on the map, the vehicle mark may deviate
from the correct road.
Different road pattern
(Changed due to repair) If the road pattern stored in the map data
and the actual road pattern are different,
map matching does not function correctly
and matches the location to a nearby road.
The vehicle mark may deviate from the
correct road.
Vehicle Use of tire chains When tire chains are used, the mileage is
not correctly detected, and the vehicle
mark may deviate from the correct road.Drive the vehicle for a while. If
the distance still deviates,
adjust it by using the distance
adjustment function. (If the tire
chain is removed, recover the
original value.)

Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)PFP:284B2
System DescriptionEKS00D7W

BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
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 of various electrical components.
Also, it functions as an interface that receives signals from the front air control, and sends signals to ECM
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
1. Description

BCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls various electrical components accord-
ing 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) of the switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input ter-
minals (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.
3. BCM - Operation table of combination switch

BCM reads operation status of combination switch by the combination shown in the following table.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch.
4. Example 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 lighting
switch 1st position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communica-
tion.

When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5 and rec-
ognizes that lighting switch 1st position is continuously ON.

BCS-6
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

When BCM is in sleep mode, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low-cur-
rent-consumption mode. OUTPUTS (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF at 60 ms intervals, and receives lighting
switch input only.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
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. Each control unit transmits/receives data, but selectively
reads required data only.
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to reduce 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, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive 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 switches to
inactive status.
4. 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:
–Ignition switch
–Key switch (insert)
–Hazard switch
–Main door lock/unlock switch
–Front door switch (LH, RH)
–Rear door switch (LH, RH)
–Back latch (door ajar switch)
–Glass hatch ajar switch
–Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1st position, front fog lamp)
–Keyfob (lock/unlock signal)
–Front door lock assembly LH (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.
