Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Power consumption control system
System Diagram

System Description
OUTLINE
- BCM incorporates a power saving control function that reduces the
power consumption according to the
vehicle status.
- BCM switches the status (control mode) by itself with the power
saving control function. It performs the sleep
request to each unit (IPDM E/R and combination meter) that operates with the
ignition switch OFF.
Normal mode (wake-up)
- CAN communication is normally performed with other units
- Each control with BCM is operating properly
CAN communication sleep mode (CAN sleep)
- CAN transmission is stopped
- Control with BCM only is operating
Low power consumption mode (BCM sleep)
- Low power consumption control is active
- CAN transmission is stopped
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL WITH BCM
BCM reduces the power consumption with the following operation in the low
power consumption mode.
- The reading interval of the each switches changes from 10 ms
interval to 60 ms interval.
Sleep mode activation
- BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and
combination meter via CAN communication.
- BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when
all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled.
- Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the
sleep wakeup signal. BCM is in CAN communication
sleep mode.
- BCM is in the low power consumption mode and perform the low power
consumption control when all of the
BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.

Wake-up operation
- BCM changes from the low power consumption mode to the CAN
communication sleep mode when any of
the BCM wake-up conditions is fulfilled. Only the control with BCM is
activated.
- BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (wake up) to each unit when
any of the CAN wake-up conditions is
fulfilled. It changes from the low power consumption mode or the CAN
communication sleep mode to the
normal mode.
- Each unit starts the transmission of CAN communication with the
sleep wake up signal. In addition, the combination
meter transmits the wake up signal to BCM via CAN communication to report
the CAN communication
start.
