Interior Lamp Battery Sever Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Xterra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If an interior lamp is left ON and does not turn OFF even when the doors are closed, the BCM turns off power to the interior lamps automatically to save the battery 15 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The BCM controls power and ground to all interior lamps.
After the battery saver system turns the lamps OFF, the lamps will illuminate again when
- a signal is received from a main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or when the front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked
- a door is opened or closed
The interior lamp battery saver control time period can be changed with the function setting of CONSULT-III.
