BCM Status Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.

  1. CAN communication status
    • With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
    • Control by BCM is being operated properly.
    • When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
    • Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is active, CAN communication status is active.
  2. Sleep transient status
    • This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
    • It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
    • Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inactive status.
  3. CAN communication inactive status
    • With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
    • With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
    • Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inactive status.
  4. Sleep status
