2009 Infiniti M45 BaseFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Sample Operation

  • When lighting switch 1ST position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
  • When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges that lighting switch 1ST position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp and clearance lamp request signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
  • When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and recognizes that lighting switch 1ST position is continuously ON.
