EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM: Component Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Infiniti M56 and 2013 Infiniti M37. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Part Description
BCM Controls the exterior lighting system.
ECM Transmits engine speed signal to AFS control unit. (via CAN communication)
TCM Transmits Shift position signal to AFS control unit. (via CAN communication)
Air bag diagnosis sensor unit Transmits air bag signal to BCM.
IPDM E/R Controls the integrated relay, and supplies voltage to the load according to the request from BCM (via CAN communication).
AFS control unit AFS control unit judges the vehicle condition from each signal. AFS control unit controls AFS function and the headlamp aiming.
Combination meter
