1. Combination meter
  • Combination meter transmits the Nissan Murano vehicle speed signal to BCM via CAN communication.

  • BCM also receives the vehicle speed signal from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication. BCM compares both signals to detect the Nissan Murano vehicle speed.

  • Security indicator lamp is located on combination meter.

  • Security indicator lamp blinks when ignition switch is in any position other than ON to warn that NISSAN Nissan Murano Vehicle IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] is on board.

Refer to Component Parts Location for detailed component location.
2. Push-button ignition switch

Push-button ignition switch has a push switch inside which detects that push-button ignition switch is pressed and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM. BCM changes the push-button ignition switch position with the operation of push-button ignition switch. BCM maintains the push-button ignition switch position status while push-button ignition switch is not operated.

Refer to Push-button Ignition Switch.
3.

BCM

(Body Control Module)
  • BCM controls INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (ENGINE START FUNCTION), NISSAN Nissan Murano Vehicle IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] and VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM.

  • BCM performs the ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key when the Intelligent Key is carried into the detection area of inside key antenna and push-button ignition switch is pressed. If the ID verification result is OK, push-button ignition switch operation is available.

  • Then, when the push-button ignition switch is placed ON, BCM performs ID verification between BCM and ECM. If the ID verification result is OK, ECM can start engine.
