Function

1.

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 ignition switch is in any position other than ON to warn that NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] is on board.

Refer to Components Location .

2.

Transmission range switch*

Transmission range switch detects the A/T shift selector lever position.

3.

IPDM E/R

Starter control relay is used for the engine starting function. Starter control relay is controlled by IPDM E/R while communicating with BCM. IPDM E/R sends the starter control relay status signal to BCM.

4.

Clutch interlock switch**

Clutch interlock switch detects that clutch pedal is depressed, and then transmits ON/OFF signal to the BCM

5.

BCM

BCM controls NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)].

When the ignition switch is turned ON, BCM performs ID verification between BCM and ECM. If the ID verification result is OK, ECM can start engine.

Refer to Components Location for detailed installation location.

6.

Ignition switch

The ignition switch transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM. BCM changes the ignition switch position with the operation of ignition switch. BCM maintains the ignition switch position status while ignition switch is not operated.

7.

NATS antenna amp.

ID verification is performed between the BCM and the transponder integrated into the key via the NATS antenna amp.
