CONSULT-II Function (BCM)EKS00B91
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II OPERATION
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 carries out CAN communication. 
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II and CON-
SULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector, then turn igni-
tion switch ON.
2. Touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)". 
3. Touch "BCM" on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. If "BCM" is not indicated, go to  GI-40, "
CONSULT-II Data Link
Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
BCM diagnostic 
test item Diagnostic mode
Description
Inspection by part WORK SUPPORT

for setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are 
received from the BCM and received data is displayed.
DATA MONITOR Displays BCM input/output data in real time. ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS  Displays BCM self-diagnosis results.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read. ECU PART NUMBER BCM part number can be read.CONFIGURATION Performs BCM configuration read/write functions.

HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROLPFP:26010
System DescriptionEKS00B97
The headlamp aiming system is controlled by the headlamp aiming switch.
Power is supplied at all times
to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and
through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to BCM (body control module) terminal 70, and
to headlamp low relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and
through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)
to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and
through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)
to BCM terminal 38.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 11.
When the lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (auto lights ON), the headlamp low relay
(located in the IPDM E/R) is energized. When energized, power is supplied
through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 26
to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 8.
Ground is supplied
to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 4
through grounds E9, E15 and E24, and
to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 7
through headlamp aiming switch terminal 1
through headlamp aiming switch terminal 2
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With power and ground supplied, headlamp aiming motors operate according to the aiming switch position.
