Check Power Supply And Ground Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINK

Check for blown-out fuses or fusible link.

PRELIMINARY CHECKING

Unit	Power source	Fuse No.
BCM	Battery	f
	Battery	21
	Ignition switch ON or START position	1
	Ignition switch ACC or ON position	6
IPDM E/R	Battery	34
		36
		38
		40
		45

Refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM - H/LAMP - ".

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 2.
NG: If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .

CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Disconnect BCM connector.
Check voltage between BCM harness connector and ground.

BCM HARNESS CONNECTOR VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

Terminals			Ignition switch position
(+)		(-)	OFF	ACC	ON
Connector	Terminal (Wire color)	(-)	OFF	ACC	ON
M18	11 (V)	Ground	0V	Battery voltage	Battery voltage
M18	38 (G)		0V	0V	Battery voltage
M19	42 (Y/R)		Battery voltage	Battery voltage	Battery voltage
M19	55 (W/B)		Battery voltage	Battery voltage	Battery voltage

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 3.
NG: Check harness for open between BCM and fuse.
