BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
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.
2 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.
3 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.
Operation mode of combination switch reading function is changed.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM PFP:28442
Precautions for Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systemNKS00311
WARNING:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is only a warning device to inform the driver of an unintended lane
departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver's responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
LDW system does not operate under the following conditions:
–At speeds below approx. 72 km/h (45 MPH).
–If it cannot detect lane markers.
LDW system may not function properly under the following conditions:
–On roads where a water puddle, dirt or snow is covering the lane markers.
–On roads where the lane markers are faded or are not painted clearly.
–On roads where the lane markers are painted yellow.
LDW system may not monitor the lane markers in certain road, weather or driving conditions.
–On roads where there are sharp curves.
–Where the traveling lane merges or separates.
–On roads where the discontinued lane markers are present, such as near tollgates, etc.
–On roads where there are not general lane markers.
–On roads where the lane width is too narrow.
–During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
–When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
–When entering or exiting a tunnel where sudden changes in brightness occur.
–When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which causes obstruction of the camera unit
range.
–When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
–When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the windshield in front of the camera unit.
Excessive noise interferes with warning system chime sound and the chime may not be heard.
CAUTION:
To keep the LDW system operating properly, be sure to observe the following:
Always keep the windshield clean. The sensing capability of the camera unit depends on the con-
dition of the windshield. See “Appearance and care” for cleaning instruction.
Never strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
Never touch the camera lens.
Never attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera
unit.
Never place reflective materials, such as a white paper or mirrors on the instrument panel. Reflec-
tion of the sunlight may adversely affect the camera unit's lane marker detection capability.
System DescriptionNKS00312
LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system warns the driver when the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of the traveling lane.
The system monitors lane markers of the traveling lane using the LDW camera unit. When the LDW cam-
era unit detects that the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right of the traveling lane, the
LDW indicator lamp flashes and a chime sounds to alert the driver.
NOTE:
When activating turn signal, LDW system does not give a warning to the lane marker on the turn signal
side.
The LDW system can be turned on or off by pushing the LDW switch. When the system is on, the LDW
system ON indicator illuminates.
The LDW system has an automatic mode and manual mode.

Accelerator Pedal Released Position LearningNBS003LT
DESCRIPTION
Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning is an operation to learn the fully released position of the accel-
erator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor output signal. It must be performed each time
harness connector of accelerator pedal position sensor or ECM is disconnected.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Throttle Valve Closed Position LearningNBS003LU
DESCRIPTION
Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning is an operation to learn the fully closed position of the throttle valve by
monitoring the throttle position sensor output signal. It must be performed each time harness connector of
electric throttle control actuator or ECM is disconnected.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. Make sure that throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.
Idle Air Volume LearningNBS003LV
DESCRIPTION
Idle Air Volume Learning is an operation to learn the idle air volume that keeps each engine within the specific
range. It must be performed under any of the following conditions:
Each time electric throttle control actuator or ECM is replaced.
Idle speed or ignition timing is out of specification.
PREPARATION
Before performing Idle Air Volume Learning, make sure that all of the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are missed for even a moment.
Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100 °C (158 - 212 °F)
Park/neutral position switch: ON
Electric load switch: OFF
(Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, if the parking brake is applied before the engine
is started the headlamp will not be illuminated.
Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
Vehicle speed: Stopped
Transmission: Warmed-up

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data MonitorNBS003M8
Remarks:
Specification data are reference values.
Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification da ta in
spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM
according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
