Combination Switch Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti M45 and 2008 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. SYSTEM CHECK 

    Referring to table below, check the system to which malfunctioning switch belongs.

    SYSTEM CHART

    System 1 System 2 System 3 System 4 System 5
    - FR WASHER FR WIPER LO TURN LH TURN RH
    FR WIPER HI - FR WIPER INT PASSING HEAD LAMP1
    INT VOLUME 1 - - HEAD LAMP2 HI BEAM
    - INT VOLUME 3 AUTO LIGHT - LIGHT SW 1ST
    INT VOLUME 2 - - FR FOG -

    >> Check the system to which malfunctioning switch belongs, and then GO TO 2.

  2. SYSTEM CHECK 

    CONSULT-III DATA MONITOR

    1. Select COMB SW data monitor item.
    2. Confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.

      Example: When the HI BEAM switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "TURN RH", "HEAD LAMP 1" and "TAIL LAMP SW" in System 5, to which the HI BEAM switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.

    SYSTEM CHECK

    Operating combination switch, and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.

    Example: When the HI BEAM switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "TURN RH", "HEAD LAMP 1" and "TAIL LAMP SW" in System 5, to which HI BEAM switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.

    Check results 

    Other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally. >> Replace lighting switch or wiper switch.

    Other switches in malfunctioning system do not operate normally.: GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK HARNESS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    3. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector (A) of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch connector (B).

      Output 5 32 5
    4. Check for continuity between each of BCM harness connector in suspect malfunctioning system and ground.

      5 Input 5 2
      Output 5 32

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: Check harness between BCM and combination switch for open or short circuit.

  4. CHECK BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL 
    1. Connect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn lighting switch and wiper switch into OFF.
    4. Set wiper dial position 4.
    5. Check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.
