Remote Keyless Entry System Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power is supplied at all times

through 50A fusible link (letter j, located in fuse, fusible link and relay box)
to BCM terminal 70,
through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to combination meter terminal 1.

Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67 and
to combination meter terminals 3 and 21
through grounds M57 and M61.

When the remote keyless entry system is triggered by input from the keyfob, the BCM supplies power

through BCM terminal 60
to front combination lamp LH terminal 4 and
to rear combination lamp LH terminal 6,
through BCM terminal 61
to front turn signal lamp RH terminal 4 and
to rear combination lamp RH terminal 6.

Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 2
through grounds E9, E15 (all models) and E24 (with MR20DE),
to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminal 4
through grounds B7 and B19.

The BCM also supplies input to combination meter via the CAN communication lines. This input is processed by the unified meter control unit in combination meter, which in turn supplies ground to the left and right turn signal indicator lamps.

With power and ground supplied, BCM controls flashing of hazard warning lamps when keyfob is used to activate remote keyless entry system.
