WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Nissan Versa. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
ECM controls the engine.
When power supply position is turned ON, BCM starts communication with ECM and performs the ID verification between BCM and ECM.
If the verification result is OK, the engine can start. If the verification result is invalid, the engine can not start.
