BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Operation Table of BCM and Combination Switches
BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
NOTE:
Headlamp system has a dual switch.

Sample Operation:
When  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.
When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges that lighting
switch  1ST  position  is  ON.  Then  BCM  sends  tail  lamp  and  clearance  lamp  request  signal  to  IPDM  E/R
using CAN communication.
When 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 switch is turned ON, electri-
cal  loads  are  activated  with  time  delay.  But  this  time  delay  is  so  short  that  it  cannot  be  detected  by  human
senses.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Operation Mode
Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.
1. Normal status
When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) send out ON signal every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT 1 stop the output,  and  BCM  enters  low  power
mode.  Mean  while  OUTPUT  2-5  send  out  ON  signal  every  60  ms,  and  accept  only  input  from  lighting
switch (except turn signal switch) system.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information transmission through the two communication lines (CAN
L  line,  CAN  H  line)  connecting  the  various  control  units  in  the  system.  Each  control  unit  transmits/receives
data  but  selectively  reads  required  data  only.  For details  of  signals  that  are  transmitted/received  by  BCM  via
CAN communication, refer to LAN-34, "
CAN Communication Unit" .

BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status
With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
Control by BCM is being operated properly.
When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
Even 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
This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, sleep transient status switches to CAN
communication inactive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication inactive status
switches to sleep status.
4. Sleep status
BCM is activated with low power mode.
CAN communication is not active.
When CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.
When a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication status.
–Key switch (ACC, ON)
–Key slot
–Intelligent Key (lock/unlock signal)
–Hazard switch
–Door lock/unlock switch
–Front door switch (driver side, passenger side)
–Rear door switch (LH, RH)
–Trunk lid opener switch
–Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1ST position, front fog lamp)
–Key cylinder switch
When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts  to  CAN  communication  inactive
mode.
Status of combination switch reading function is changed to low power consumption mode.
