Answer-Back Control

Control Outline

When the charge port lid opener switch signal is received from the charge port lid opener switch, or the charge port open request signal for the charge port lid opener button is received from the BCM via CAN communication, then according to the vehicle conditions, the VCM transmits the charge sound request signal to the VSP control unit. When the VSP control unit receives the signal, it operates the VSP speaker and sounds the charge port lid unlock sound/normal charge connector unlock sound. The VCM also turns ON the charging status indicator.
