Remote Keyless Entry System Operation

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

Power is supplied at all times

Through 50A fusible link (letter g, located in the fuse and fusible link box)
To BCM terminal 70, and
Through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
To combination meter terminal 3.

Ground is supplied

To BCM terminal 67 and
To combination meter terminals 13 and 23
Through grounds M57, M61 and M79.

When the remote keyless entry system is triggered by input from the keyfob, the BCM, interpreting it as turn signal is ON, outputs turn signal from BCM terminals 60 and 61.

The BCM supplies power

Through BCM terminals 60 and 61
To front combination lamp LH and RH (turn signal) terminal 6
Through front combination lamp LH and RH (turn signal) terminal 5
To grounds E9, E15 and E24, and
To rear combination lamp LH and RH terminal 4
Through rear combination lamp LH terminal 5
To ground B85, and
Through rear combination lamp RH terminal 5
To ground B160.

BCM sends signal to combination meter through CAN communication lines, and turns on turn signal indicator lamps within combination meter.

With power and input supplied, the BCM controls the flashing of the hazard warning lamps when keyfob is used to activate the remote keyless entry system.
