Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD and 2018 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM controls ground to the cargo lamp relay to turn the cargo lamp, tailgate cargo lamps (if equipped) and bed lamps (if equipped) ON and OFF.

CAUTION: Before performing the diagnosis, check that the following is normal.
  • Fuse
  • Cargo lamp bulb
  • Tailgate cargo lamp bulbs (if equipped)
  • Bed lamp bulbs (if equipped)
  1. CHECK CARGO LAMP OPERATION 

    Check the cargo lamp, tailgate cargo lamps (if equipped) and bed lamps (if equipped) operation from the cargo lamp switch, the door switches, and a keyfob.

    Is the cargo lamp, tailgate cargo lamps (if equipped) and bed lamps (if equipped) inoperative from all of the above switches and the keyfob?

    YES

    GO TO 4 .

    NO

  2. CHECK CARGO LAMP SWITCH 

    Check the cargo lamp switch. Refer to Component Inspection .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 3 .

    NO

    Replace the cargo lamp switch.

  3. CHECK CARGO LAMP SWITCH CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect BCM connector M20 and cargo lamp switch connector.
    2. Check continuity between BCM connector M20 terminal 97 and cargo lamp switch connector M149 terminal 1.
