SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Verify the incident.

2. Write down the radio presets for later "reprogramming" back into the radio.

3. Shut all the windows completely (if open).

4. Shut the sunroof completely (if open).

5. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait 5 minutes.

6. Re-connect the negative battery terminal.

7. Determine the need for BCM replacement as follows:

^ If the lights work now, BCM replacement is required to ensure that the incident is resolved. Replace the BCM with the one listed in the Parts Information section of this bulletin.

IMPORTANT:
If the courtesy lamps work now, steps 1 through 6 (above) took care of it only temporarily. There is no way to ensure that the incident is permanently resolved, so replacing the BCM is necessary.

^ If the courtesy lamps don't work after steps 1-6, this bulletin does not apply. See the "LT Lighting System" Section in the "K Electrical" chapter of the 2003 Murano ESM.

8. "Re-register" all the vehicle keys to the new BCM. This is explained in Nissan Technical Bulletin NTB02-071A.

9. "Re-register" all the vehicle remote controls. This is explained in the "BL Body, Lock and Security System" Section in the "BL Body" chapter of the 2003 Murano ESM.

10. "Re-program" the radio presets you wrote down in step 1.
