Combination Switch Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. SYSTEM CHECK 

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

    COMBINATION SWITCH INSPECTION

    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 - TAIL LAMP
    INT VOLUME 2 - - 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. Disconnect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    2. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch connector terminals.

      Output 5 32 (R/G) 5 (R/G)
    3. Check for continuity between each terminal of BCM harness connector in suspect malfunctioning system and ground.

      Output 4 33 (R/Y)
      5 Input 5 2 (SB)
      Output 5 32 (R/G)

    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, and check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.
