- PDS (POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM) is the system that BCM controls with the operation of the push-button ignition switch and performs the power distribution to each power circuit. This system is used instead of the mechanical power supply changing mechanism with the operation of the conventional key cylinder.
- The push-button ignition switch can be operated when Intelligent Key is in the following condition. Refer to Engine Start Function for details.
- Intelligent Key is in the detection area of the inside key antenna
- Insert Intelligent Key into the key slot
- The push-button ignition switch operation is input to BCM as a signal. BCM changes the power supply position according to the status and operates the following relays to supply power to each power circuit.
- Ignition relay (built into IPDM E/R)
- Ignition relay (inserted into fuse block)
- ACC relay
- Blower relay
- The power supply position changes due to the conditions of push-button ignition switch operation, brake pedal, clutch pedal, selector lever and vehicle speed.
NOTE:
- The power supply position can be confirmed with the lighting of the indicators near the push-button ignition switch.
