Control Unit Circuit Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Nissan NV3500 HD, 2019 Nissan NV2500 HD, and 2019 Nissan NV1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

System Description

When the switch is ON, the control unit lights up the lamp.

INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART

Terminal No.		Description		Condition	Value (Approx.)	In case of high resistance such as single strand (V) *
+	-	Signal name	Input/Output
1	Body ground	Switch	Input	Switch ON	Battery voltage	Lower than battery voltage Approx. 8 (Example)
				Switch OFF	0 V	Approx. 0
2	Body ground	Lamp	Output	Switch ON	Battery voltage	Approx. 0 (Inoperative lamp)
				Switch OFF	0 V	Approx. 0

The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*: If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltage. Control unit does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not supply power to light up the lamp.

INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART

Terminal No.		Description		Condition	Value (Approx.)	In case of high resistance such as single strand (V) *
+	-	Signal name	Input/Output
1	Body ground	Lamp	Output	Switch ON	0 V	Battery voltage (Inoperative lamp)
				Switch OFF	Battery voltage	Battery voltage
2	Body ground	Switch	Input	Switch ON	0 V	Higher than 0 Approx. 4 (Example)
				Switch OFF	5 V	Approx. 5

The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*: If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 2 does not detect approx. 0 V. Control unit does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not control ground to light up the lamp.
