COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION

Description

• BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 10 ms intervals normally.

NOTE:

BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 60 ms intervals when BCM is controlled at low power

consumption control mode.

• BCM operates as follows and judges the status of the combination switch.

- It operates the transistor on OUTPUT side in the following order: OUTPUT 1 

→ 2 → 3 → 4 → 5, and outputs

voltage waveform.

- The voltage waveform of OUTPUT corresponding to the formed circuit is input into the interface on INPUT

side if any (1 or more) switches are ON.

[BCM]

SYSTEM

- It reads this change of the voltage as the status signal of the combination switch.

Operation Example

In the following operation example, the combination of the status signals of the combination switch is replaced

as follows: INPUT 1 - 5 to “1 - 5” and OUTPUT 1 - 5 to “A - E”.

Example 1: When a switch (TAIL LAMP) is turned ON

• The circuit between OUTPUT 4 and INPUT 5 is formed when the TAIL LAMP switch is turned ON.

• BCM detects the combination switch status signal “5D” when the signal of OUTPUT 4 is input to INPUT 5.

• BCM judges that the TAIL LAMP switch is ON when the signal “5D” is detected.

Example 2: When some switches (TURN RH, TAIL LAMP) are turned ON

• The circuits between OUTPUT 1 and INPUT 5 and between OUTPUT 4 and INPUT 5 are formed when the

TURN RH switch and TAIL LAMP switch are turned ON.

• BCM detects the combination switch status signal “5AD” when the signals of OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 4 are

input to INPUT 5.

• BCM judges that the TURN RH switch and TAIL LAMP switch are ON when the signal “5AD” is detected.

WIPER INTERMITTENT DIAL POSITION SETTING (FRONT WIPER INTERMITTENT OPERATION)

BCM judges the wiper intermittent dial 1 - 7 by the status of INT VOLUME 1, 2, and 3 switches.

POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description

INFOID:0000000009174871

OUTLINE

• 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 and combination meter) that operates with the ignition switch OFF.

Normal mode (wake-up)

- CAN communication is normally performed with other units

- Each control with BCM is operating properly

CAN communication sleep mode (CAN sleep)

- CAN transmission is stopped

- Control with BCM only is operating

Low power consumption mode (BCM sleep)

- Low power consumption control is active

- CAN transmission is stopped

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL WITH BCM

BCM reduces the power consumption with the following operation in the low power consumption mode.

• The reading interval of each switch changes from 10 ms interval to 60 ms interval.
