BCM Status Control

BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.

  1. CAN communication status
    • With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
    • Control by BCM is being operated properly.
    • When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
    • Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is active, CAN communication status is active.
  2. Sleep transient status
    • This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
    • It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
    • Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, sleep transient status switches to CAN communication inactive status.
  3. CAN communication inactive status
    • With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
    • With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
    • Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication inactive status switches to sleep status.
  4. Sleep status
    • BCM is activated with low power mode.
    • CAN communication is not active.
    • When CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.
    • When a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication status.
    • Key switch (ACC, ON)
    • Key slot
    • Intelligent Key (lock/unlock signal)
    • Hazard switch
    • Door lock/unlock switch
    • Front door switch (driver side, passenger side)
    • Rear door switch (LH, RH)
    • Trunk lid opener switch
    • Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1ST position, front fog lamp)
    • Key cylinder switch
    • When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication inactive mode.
    • Status of combination switch reading function is changed to low power consumption mode.
