Combination Switch Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. SYSTEM CHECK 
    1. Referring to table below, check to which system the malfunctioning switch belongs.
      SYSTEM CHECK TABLE

      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 RR WASHER - HEAD LAMP2 HI BEAM
      RR WIPER INT INT VOLUME 3 AUTO LIGHT - TAIL LAMP
      INT VOLUME 2 RR WIPER ON - FR FOG -

      : GO TO 2.

  2. SYSTEM CHECK 

    With CONSULT-II

    CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
    1. Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR".
    3. Select "START" and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.

      Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.

    Without CONSULT-II

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

    Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, operate 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. HARNESS INSPECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    3. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch connector terminals.

      5 Input 5 2 8
      Output 5 32 5
    4. Check for continuity between each terminal of BCM harness connector in suspect malfunctioning system and ground.

      Suspect system BCM   Continuity
      Connector Terminal
      1 M18 Input 1 6 Ground No
      Output 1 36

      4 Input 4 3
      Output 4 33
      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. BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL INSPECTION 
    1. Turn lighting switch and wiper switch to OFF.
    2. Set wiper dial to position 4.
    3. Connect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON, and check combination switch input (BCM output) terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.
