Operation When Intelligent Key Is Inserted Into Key Slot

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. When Intelligent Key is inserted into key slot, BCM activates the NATS antenna amp. that is integrated into key slot to transmit the request signal to Intelligent Key.
  2. Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to BCM.
  3. BCM receives the Intelligent Key ID signal via NATS antenna amp. and verifies it with the registered ID.
  4. If the verification result is OK, BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits the ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
  5. IPDM E/R turns ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
  6. BCM detects that selector lever is in the P or N position.
  7. BCM transmits the starter request signal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.
  8. IPDM E/R turns starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
  9. Battery power is supplied through starter relay and starter control relay to operate starter motor.
  10. When BCM received feedback signal from ECM indicating that the engine is started, BCM transmits a stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops the cranking by turning OFF starter motor relay. (If the engine start is unsuccessful, the cranking operation stops automatically within 5 seconds.)

    *: For the engine start condition, refer to "IGNITION SWITCH POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION ".
