COMPONENT PARTS
IPDM E/RThe IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay based on inputs re-
ceived from the BCM via the CAN communication.
Push button ignition switch Provides ignition switch status to the BCM.
Door switches Provides door OPEN/CLOSED status to the BCM.
Combination switch
(lighting and turn signal switch) The combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) provides

signal to the IPDM E/R via CAN communication to operate the il-
lumination system.
Trunk lamp switch and release solenoid
(trunk lamp switch) Provides trunk lamp switch OP
EN/CLOSED status to the BCM.
Power window and door lock/unlock switch RH Provides door lock/unlock position switch RH status to the BCM.
Main power window and door lock/unlock switch Provides door lock/unlock position switch LH status to the BCM.
Meter control switch
(illumination control switch) • Adjusts the illumination system and combination meter illumina-
tion brightness (with multiple illumination control).
• Only adjusts the combination meter illumination brightness
(with meter illumination control only).
Front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) Provides front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) door

Revision: November 20132014 Altima NAMRevision: November 20132014 Altima NAM
MWI-16
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >
SYSTEM
The LOOSE FUEL CAP message will display in the information display when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened
correctly. The message will turn off as soon as the EC M detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened. The
ECM provides a loose fuel cap signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING
This warning appears when the BCM detects low inflati on pressure or a system malfunction. The BCM sends
a signal to the combination meter via CAN communication to illuminate the low tire pressure warning lamp. In
addition, a warning message will be displayed in the vehicle information display.
DOOR OPEN WARNING
This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the door is open. The BCM receives a door switch
signal from the door open door switch. The BCM sends t he door switch signal to the combination meter via
CAN communication lines.
TRUNK OPEN WARNING
This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the trunk is opened. The BCM receives a trunk lamp
switch signal from the trunk lamp switch. The BCM s ends the trunk lamp switch signal to the combination
meter via CAN communication.
LOW FUEL WARNING
This warning appears when the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than approximately 4 US gal (15 L, 3.3 Imp
gal). A variable resistor signal is supplied to the combi nation meter from the fuel level sensor unit to determine
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WARNING
When the windshield washer fluid level is low, the was her fluid level switch provides a ground signal to the
combination meter and the warning is displayed. Once fluid is added, the switch opens and the warning is no
longer displayed.
RELEASE PARKING BRAKE WARNING
When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch provides a ground signal to the combination
meter. When the vehicle speed is greater than 4 MPH (7 km/h), the message is displayed and the warning
chime sounds.
SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR
Displays the position of the shift selector based on signals received from TCM via CAN communication.
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING
The low oil pressure warning appears in the information display when the combination meter receives a low
engine oil pressure signal from the ECM via CAN communication.
WARNING CHECK INDICATION
The combination meter can cause an interrupt on the information display to indicate a warning, based on sig-
nals received from each unit and switch.
Refer to Owner’s Manual for additional information display items.
