POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM: System Description: Outline
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- 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, combination meter, driver seat control unit, automatic back door control module, pre-crash seat belt control unit and CAN gateway) that operates with the ignition switch OFF.
