Interior Lamp Battery Saver Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If an interior lamp is left ON and does not turn OFF even when the doors are closed, the BCM turns off power to the interior lamps automatically to save the battery 30 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The BCM controls the interior lamps listed below
- Front step lamp LH and RH
- Rear step lamp LH and RH
- Front room/map lamp assembly
- Foot lamp LH and RH
- Personal lamp rear LH and RH
- Vanity mirror lamp LH and RH
- Trunk room lamp
After the battery saver system turns the lamps OFF, the lamps will illuminate again when
- a signal is received from an Intelligent Key, main power window and door lock/unlock switch or power window and door lock/unlock switch RH, or when the front door LH lock assembly (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked
- a door is opened or closed
- the Intelligent Key is removed from or inserted into the key slot.
The Interior lamp battery saver control time period can be changed with the function setting of CONSULT-III.
