System Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The illumination system is activated by the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) when the switch is placed in the 1st or 2nd position (or if the auto light system is activated).
The illumination system and combination meter illumination brightness is adjustable using the meter control switch (illumination control switch).
- The BCM (body control module) receives the parking lamp request signal from the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) to turn the lights on.
- The BCM sends the parking lamp request signal to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via CAN communication.
- IPDM E/R receives the parking lamp request signal from the BCM to activate the tail lamp relay and provide power to the illumination system.
