Combination Switch Inspection

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

    Referring to table below, check which system malfunctioning switch belongs to.

    SYSTEMS AND SWITCHES REFERENCE

    System 1 System 2 System 3 System 4 System 5
    - FRONT WASHER FRONT WIPER LO TURN LH TURN RH
    FRONT WIPER HI - FRONT WIPER INT PASSING HEAD LAMP 1
    INT VOLUME 1 - - HEAD LAMP 2 HI BEAM
    - INT VOLUME 3 - - LIGHT SW 1ST
    INT VOLUME 2 - - FRONT FOG -

    >> Check the system to which the switch belongs, and GO TO 2.

  2. SYSTEM CHECK 

    With CONSULT-II

    CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
    1. Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR".
    3. Select "START", and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.

      Example: When turn signal LH is inoperative, confirm that PASSING, HEAD LAMP 2 or FRONT FOG (if equipped) turn ON-OFF normally.

      G04815406

    Without CONSULT-II

    Operating combination switch, and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.

    Example: When a turn signal switch is inoperative, confirm that FRONT WIPER LO or FRONT WIPER INT turn ON-OFF normally.

    Check results 

    Other switches in the system operate normally. >> Replace lighting switch or wiper switch.

    Other switches in the system do not operate normally. >> GO TO 3.

  3. HARNESS INSPECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM connector and combination switch connector.
    3. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch harness connector.

    OK or NG 

    OK >> GO TO 4.

    NG >> Check harness between BCM and combination switch for open or short circuit.

  4. CHECK BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL 
    1. Connect BCM and combination switch connectors.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn lighting switch and wiper switch to OFF position.
    4. Set wiper dial position 4.
    5. Check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect system.

    OK or NG 

    OK >> Open circuit in combination switch, GO TO 5.

    NG >> Replace BCM. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BCM  "  .

  5. COMBINATION SWITCH INSPECTION
