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

  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.

  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.
