Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Harness inspection. Turn ignition "OFF". Disconnect BCM connector and combination switch connector. Check continuity between BCM harness connector (M19), terminal No. 49 (Green/Black) input 2 wire and terminal No. 40 (Red/Black) output 2 wire, harness side, and body ground. See Figure . If continuity exists, check harness between BCM and combination switch for short circuit. If continuity does not exist, go to next step. See EXTERIOR LIGHTS in 2002 SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS NISSAN - ALTIMA article.
- Inspection of BCM input terminal voltage. Connect BCM connector. Turn ignition "ON". Check voltage between BCM connector (M19), terminal No. 49 (Green/Black) input wire, harness side, and body ground. If the voltage is 4.5 volts or greater, there is a combination switch malfunction, go to next step. If the voltage is not greater than 4.5 volts, replace BCM. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION .
- Combination switch inspection. Replace lighting switch. Reconfirm self-diagnostic results. See COMBINATION SWITCH INSPECTION ACCORDING TO SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS . If OK, inspection is complete. If not OK, replace wiper switch. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Reconfirm self-diagnostics results. If OK, inspection is complete. If not OK, replace switch base. Reconfirm self-diagnostic results. If OK, inspection is complete. If not OK, reconfirm symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table.
