Body Control Module (BCM)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM is shown with the steering column removed. The BCM reads the air pressure signal received by the remote keyless entry receiver, and controls the low tire pressure warning lamp as shown below. It also has a self-diagnosis function to detect a system malfunction.
