Control Units and Electrical PartsNAS0008Y
PRECAUTIONS

Never reverse polarity of battery terminals.

Install only parts specified for a vehicle.

Before replacing the control unit, check the input and output and functions of the component parts.

Do not apply excessive force when disconnecting a connector.

Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or
hitting it.

Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to
rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it.
If water is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in
the vehicle.

Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.

Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.

Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the
upper and lower covers.

When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit
from damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.

When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use
the specified check adapter.

CAUTION:

Every time the vehicle is lifted up, maintain the complete vehicle curb condition.

Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the front side (engine,
transmission, suspension etc.), support a jack up point on the rear side garage jack with a mission
jack or equivalent.

Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle,
suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the front side garage jack with a mission jack or
equivalent.

Be careful not to smash or do not do anything that would affect piping parts.
Garage Jack and Safety Stand and 2-Pole LiftNAS0007Z
WARNING:

Park the vehicle on a level surface when using the jack. Make sure to avoid damaging pipes,
tubes, etc. under the vehicle.

Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands when
you have to get under the vehicle.

Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.

When lifting the vehicle, open the lift arms as wide as possible and ensure that the front and rear
of the vehicle are well balanced.

When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable, fuel lines
and sill spoiler.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
FOG LAMP OPERATION
The fog lamp switch is built in combination switch. The lighting switch must be in 2ND position or AUTO posi-
tion (headlamp is ON) and fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU located in IPDM E/R grounds coil side of the fog lamp
relay. Fog lamp relay then directs power

through IPDM E/R terminal 37

to front fog lamp RH terminal 1,

through IPDM E/R terminal 36

to front fog lamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to front fog lamp RH terminal 2

through grounds E22 and E43,

to front fog lamp LH terminal 2

through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and grounds supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
The unified meter and A/C amp. that received the front fog lamp request signal by BCM across the CAN com-
munication makes a front fog lamp indicator lamp turn on in combination meter.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003R4
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex 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.

With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

to CPU located in IPDM E/R,

through 15A fuse [No. 1, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 38.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 52

through grounds M16 and M70,

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 51

through grounds E22 and E43.
OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the parking, license plate and tail lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the
tail lamp relay coil, which when energized, directs power

through IPDM E/R terminal 21

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 5 (parking)

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 7 (side marker)

to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminals 1 (tail and side marker)

to license plate lamp LH and RH terminals 1.
Ground is supplied at all times

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminals 1 (parking and side marker)

through grounds E22 and E43,

to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminals 4 (tail and side marker)

through grounds B5, B40 and B131.

to license plate lamp LH and RH terminals 2

through grounds B402 and B405.
With power and ground supplied, the parking, license plate and tail lamps illuminate.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer toBCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST (or 2ND) position, and ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then
the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
