BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)PFP:284B2
System DescriptionEKS00PA1
lBCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has a combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper
washer, turn signal) in addition to the function for controlling the operation of various electrical components.
Also, it functions as an interface that receives signals from the front air control, and sends signals to ECM
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
lBCM reads combination switch (light, wiper) status, and controls various electrical components according
to the results.
lBCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining 5output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and
5 input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
lBCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.
lIf any (1 or more) of the switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input termi-
nals (INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
lAt this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change and BCM determines that switch is ON.

BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switch
lBCM reads operation status of combination switch by the combination shown in the following table.
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch.

Example Operation: (When Lighting Switch 1st Position Turned ON)
lWhen lighting switch 1st position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if
OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
lWhen OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges lighting
switch 1st position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
lWhen OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5 and recog-
nizes that lighting switch 1st position is continuously ON.
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore, after a switch is turned ON, elec-
trical loads are activated with a time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be noticed.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Operation Mode
lCombination switch reading function has operation modes as follows:
Normal status
lWhen BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
Sleep status
lWhen BCM is in sleep mode, BCM enters low power mode. OUTPUTS 1-5 turn ON-OFF at 22 ms inter-
vals, and receives lighting switch input only.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information through the two communication lines (CAN-L, CAN-H)
connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit transmits/receives data, but selectively
reads required data only.

BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status
lWith ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
lControl by BCM is being operated properly.
lWhen ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
lEven when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status
lThis status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
lIt transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
lTwo seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
lWith ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
lWith ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
lThree seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
4. Sleep status
lBCM is activated with low current consumption mode.
lCAN communication is not active.
lWhen CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.
lWhen a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication state:
–Key switch
–Hazard switch
–Door lock/unlock switch
–Front door switch (driver side, passenger side)
–Rear door switch (LH, RH) (double cab)
–Rear door switch (driver side, passenger side) No.1 (king cab)
–Rear door switch (driver side, passenger side) No.2 (king cab)
–Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1st position, front fog lamp)
–Keyfob (lock/unlock signal)
–Door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)
lWhen control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication inactive
mode.
lStatus of combination switch reading function is changed.
