Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER"                                                                                           EKS003LC


The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along                            B
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front              C
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:                                                                                                                 D
q    To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
     in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
     formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.                                                                     E
q    Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
     sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
     Bag Module, see the SRS section.                                                                                    F
q    Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
     Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connec-
     tors.

q   Both front wiper relays are located in IPDM E/R.
q   Wiper switch (combination switch) is composed of a combination of 5 output terminals and 5 input termi-
    nals. Terminal combination status is read by BCM when switch is turned ON.
q   BCM controls front wiper LO, HI, and INT (intermittent) operation.
q   IPDM E/R operates wiper motor according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
Power is supplied at all times
q    from BCM (input 1) terminal 48
q    to combination switch terminal 1, and
q    to 20A fuse (No. 39, located in the IPDM E/R).
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and front wiper switch is turned to LO position,
front wiper LO contact in combination switch comes ON, and
Power is supplied
q    through combination switch terminal 3
q    to BCM (input 3) terminal 50.
When BCM determines that wiper switch is in LO position, it uses CAN communications and
Front wiper request signal (LO) is sent
q    from BCM terminals 70 and 71
q    to IPDM E/R terminals 48 and 49.
When IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (LO), it energizes front wiper relay (in IPDM E/R).
Power is then supplied
q    from 20A fuse (No. 39, located in the IPDM E/R)

the front wiper INT contact in the combination switch comes ON, and
Power is supplied
q    from combination switch terminal 6
q    to BCM (output 1) terminal 47.
When BCM determines that combination switch status is front wiper INT ON, it performs the following opera-
tions.
q    When BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent operation dial positions 1, 2, and 3 (in same way as
     wiper INT), it determines wiper dial position status.
q    BCM calculates operation interval from wiper dial position and vehicle speed signal received from combi-
     nation meter through CAN communications.

Revision: May 2004                                WW-5                                           2003 Altima
                             FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM

q   BCM sends front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R at calculated operation interval.
When IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (INT), it turns ON internal front wiper relay. It then sends
auto-stop signal to BCM, and conducts intermittent front wiper motor operation.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
q   to the front wiper motor terminal E
q   through body grounds E15 and E24.
Ground is also supplied
q   through terminal 38 of the IPDM E/R
q   to front wiper motor terminal P
q   through terminal E of the front wiper motor and
q   through body grounds E15 and E24.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals P and E are no longer connected.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When BCM receives auto stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN commu-
nication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied
q   through 10A fuse (No. 46 located in the IPDM E/R)
q   through IPDM E/R terminal 18
q   to front washer motor terminal +.
When front wiper switch is turned to washer position,
Ground is supplied
q   to front washer motor terminal -
q   through combination switch terminal 11
q   through combination switch terminal 12
q   through body grounds M57 and M61.
With ground supplied, the front washer motor is operated, and at the same time,
Power is supplied
q   through combination switch terminal 7
q   to BCM (output 2) terminal 40.
When BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM uses CAN commu-
nication and sends wiper request signal to IPDM E/R for low speed operation of wipers.
When BCM detects that washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 3 times and then
stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is turned to the mist position, wiper low speed operation cycles once and then stops.
For additional information about wiper operation under this condition, refer to WW-4, "LOW SPEED WIPER
OPERATION" .
If the switch is held in the mist position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
BCM includes fail-safe function to prevent malfunction of electrical components controlled by CAN communi-
cations if a malfunction in CAN communications occurs.
BCM uses CAN communications to stop output of electrical components it controls.
Until ignition switch is turned off, front wiper remains in same status as just before fail-safe control was initi-
ated. (If wiper was in low speed operation just before fail-safe, it continues low speed operation until ignition
switch is turned OFF.)
When fail-safe status is initiated, BCM remains in standby until normal signals are received.
When normal signals are received, fail-safe status is canceled.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2                    B
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
                                                                                                                 J
BCM continuously outputs power voltage from input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5). At this time, output terminals
(OUTPUT 1 - 5) operate transistors in sequence and carry current. If any switch (or switches) become ON at
this time, the input terminal corresponding to that switch detects current flowing, and BCM determines that the
switch is ON.                                                                                                   WW
TABLE OF BCM - COMBINATION SWITCH OPERATIONS

                           FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM

SAMPLE OPERATION: (WIPER SWITCH TURNED TO LO POSITION)
q   When wiper switch is turned to LO position, front wiper LO contact inside combination switch becomes
    ON. At this time, OUTPUT 3 transistor operates and BCM detects flow of current at INPUT 1.
q   When OUTPUT 3 transistor is ON and BCM detects current flowing at INPUT 1, BCM determines that
    wiper switch is at LO. BCM uses CAN communication and sends front wiper signals to IPDM E/R.
q   When OUTPUT 3 transistor operates again and BCM again detects current flowing at INPUT 1, it confirms
    that front wiper LO operation is continuing.
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor operates at 10 ms intervals. Therefore, a delay occurs between the switch
becoming ON and operation of the electric load. However, this delay is so small it is undetectable by human
senses.




                                                                                                 LKIA0100E


OPERATING MODES
The following operation modes exist for combination switch reading function.
Normal status
When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1 - 5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.

                             FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM

Sleep status
When BCM is in sleep status, output from OUTPUT 1 and 2 transistors stops, with BCM entering a power-sav-                                A
ing mode. OUTPUT (3 - 5) turn ON-OFF every 60 ms, and only input from light switch system is accepted.

INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Wiper intermittent operation delay interval is determined from a combination of 3 switches (intermittent opera-                          H
tion dial position 1, intermittent operation dial position 2, and intermittent operation dial position 3) and vehicle
speed signal.
During each intermittent operation delay interval, BCM sends front wiper request signal to IPDM E/R.                                     I

Example: For wiper dial position 1...
Using combination switch reading function, BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent operation dial posi-
tions 1, 2, and 3.
When combination switch status is as listed below, BCM determines that it is wiper dial position 1.
q    Intermittent operation dial position 1: ON (input 3 and output 1 are conducting.)
q    Intermittent operation dial position 2: ON (input 5 and output 1 are conducting.)
q    Intermittent operation dial position 3: ON (input 4 and output 2 are conducting.)
BCM determines front wiper intermittent operation delay interval from wiper dial position 1 and vehicle speed,
and sends wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R.
