Illumination Operation By Lighting Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay which, when energized, directs power
