Shut Off Delay
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the ignition switch is turned from ON to OFF while the auto light system is activated and the headlamps are illuminated, the shut off delay feature is activated. Under this condition, the BCM no longer receives a voltage signal at terminal 38 and this starts the auto light shut off delay timer. The shut off delay timer is active until one of the doors is opened or the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed. If one of the doors is opened, the shut off delay feature is deactivated and the battery saver control feature is activated. If the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed, the headlamps are turned off.
