A. Behind power switch        
No. Component Function
1. NATS antenna amp. NATS ANTENNA AMP. 
2. Power switch Power switch has push switch inside which detects that power switch is pressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM. BCM changes the power supply position with the operation of power switch. BCM maintains the power supply position status while power switch is not operated.
Refer to POWER SWITCH for detailed installation location.
3. BCM BCM controls INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (READY SET FUNCTION), NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] and VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM.
BCM performs the ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key when the Intelligent Key is carried into the detection area of inside key antenna, and power switch is pressed. If the ID verification result is OK, power switch operation is available.
Then, when the power switch is turned to the ON position, BCM performs ID verification between BCM and VCM. If the ID verification result is OK, vehicle can be set to READY.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
4. Remote keyless entry receiver Remote keyless entry receiver receives each button operation signal and electronic key ID signal from Intelligent Key, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Refer to REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY RECEIVER for detailed installation location.
5. Inside key antenna (Instrument center) Inside key antenna (Instrument center) detects whether Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle or not, and transmits the signal to BCM.
Refer to INSIDE KEY ANTENNA (INSTRUMENT CENTER) for detailed installation location.
6. VCM
  • VCM controls the vehicle. When power switch is turned to the ON position, BCM starts communication with VCM and performs the ID verification between BCM and VCM.

    If the verification result is OK, the vehicle can be set to READY. If the verification result is NG, the vehicle can not be set to READY.

  • VCM detects the shift position, and then transmits the P position signal to BCM and IPDM E/R. And VCM transmits the P/N position signal to BCM.
  • BCM confirms the shift position with the following 4 signals.
    • P position signal from electric shift selector
    • P/N position signal from electric shift selector
    • P position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
7. Stop lamp switch Stop lamp switch detects that brake pedal is depressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
8. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) transmits the vehicle speed signal to BCM via CAN communication.
BCM also receives the vehicle speed signal from combination meter via CAN communication. BCM compares both signals to detect the vehicle speed.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
9. IPDM E/R IPDM E/R has headlamp relays inside. Headlamp relays are used for the vehicle security function. IPDM E/R controls these relays while communicating with BCM.
When IPDM E/R receives the alarm request signal from BCM, IPDM E/R activates vehicle security horn and headlamps intermittently.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
10. Combination meter Combination meter transmits the vehicle speed signal to BCM via CAN communication.
BCM also receives the vehicle speed signal from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication. BCM compares both signals to detect the vehicle speed.
Security indicator lamp is located on combination meter.
Security indicator lamp blinks when power switch is in any position other than ON to warn that NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] is on board.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
11. Door lock and unlock switch Door lock and unlock switch is integrated into the main power window and lock/unlock switch and power window and door lock/unlock switch RH.
Door lock and unlock switch transmits door lock/unlock operation signal to BCM.
Refer to DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK SWITCH for detailed installation location.
12. Front outside handle LH Outside key antenna and door request switch are integrated into the front outside handle LH.
  • Outside key antenna detects whether Intelligent Key is within the detection area or not, and then transmits signal to BCM.
  • Front door request switch transmits door lock/unlock request signal to BCM.
  • Refer to FRONT DOOR REQUEST SWITCH (LH) and OUTSIDE KEY ANTENNA (LH) for detailed installation location.
13. Door key cylinder switch Door key cylinder switch is integrated into front door lock assembly (LH).
Door key cylinder switch detects door LOCK/UNLOCK operation using mechanical key, and then transmits door lock/unlock operation signal to BCM.
Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION for detailed installation location.
14. Front door switch (LH) Door switch detects door open/close condition, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Refer to DOOR SWITCH for detailed installation location.
15. Rear door switch LH Door switch detects door open/close condition, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Refer to DOOR SWITCH for detailed installation location.
16. Back door opener switch Back door opener switch and back door request switch are integrated into back door switch assembly.
  • Back door opener switch transmits back door opening operation signal to BCM.
  • Back door request switch transmits door lock/unlock request signal to BCM.
  • Refer to BACK DOOR OPENER SWITCH and BACK DOOR REQUEST SWITCH for detailed installation location.
17. Back door lock assembly Back door switch is integrated into back door lock assembly.
Back door switch detects back door open/close condition, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Refer to BACK DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY for detailed installation location.
18. Outside key antenna (Rear bumper) Outside key antenna (Rear bumper) detects whether Intelligent Key is within the detection area or not, and then transmits signal to BCM.
Refer to OUTSIDE KEY ANTENNA (REAR BUMPER) for detailed installation location.
19. Inside key antenna (Luggage room) Inside key antenna (Luggage room) detects whether Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle or not, and transmits the signal to BCM.
Refer to INSIDE KEY ANTENNA (LUGGAGE ROOM) for detailed installation location.
20. Rear door switch RH Door switch detects door open/close condition, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
21. Inside key antenna (Rear seat) Inside key antenna (Rear seat) detects whether Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle or not, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Refer to INSIDE KEY ANTENNA (REAR SEAT) for detailed installation location.
22. Front door switch (RH) Door switch detects door open/close condition, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Refer to DOOR SWITCH for detailed installation location.
23. Front outside handle RH Outside key antenna and door request switch are integrated into the front outside handle RH.
  • Outside key antenna detects whether Intelligent Key is within the detection area or not, and then transmits signal to BCM.
  • Front door request switch transmits door lock/unlock request signal to BCM.
