OUTLINE
• BCM (body control module) controls various electric al components. It receives the information required from
CAN communication and the signals received from each switch and sensor.
• BCM has a combination switch reading function for readi ng the status of combination switches (light, turn
signal, wiper and washer) in addition to functions for c ontrolling the operation of various electrical compo-
nents. It also has a signal transmission function for ot her systems, and a power consumption control function
that reduces the power consumpt ion with the ignition switch OFF.
• BCM is equipped with a diagnosis function that operates with CONSULT and allows for various settings to
be changed.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951709
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000009463677
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000009463678
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake wi th a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.
CAUTION:
• Brake fluid use. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted su rfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe
it off immediately and wash with wa ter if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning th e master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-
ponents.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and
cause improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
