Operation Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
BCM continuously outputs power voltage from input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5). At this time, output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) operate transistors in sequence and carry current. If any switch (or switches) become ON at this time, the input terminal corresponding to that switch detects current flowing, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.
