Interior Lamp Battery Saver Control
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.
If an interior lamp is left ON and does not turn OFF even when the doors are closed, the BCM turns off power to the interior lamps automatically to save the battery 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The BCM controls the following interior lamps:
- Front step lamp LH/RH (if equipped)
- Front room/map lamp LH/RH
- Personal lamp rear LH/RH
- Vanity mirror lamp LH/RH (if equipped)
- Trunk room lamp
After the battery saver system turns the lamps OFF, the lamps will illuminate again when:
- A signal is received from an Intelligent Key or main power window and door lock/unlock switch or when the front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked.
- A door is opened or closed.
