Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56

BCM is activated with low current consumption 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 state:
–Ignition switch
–Key switch (insert)
–Hazard switch
–Main door lock/unlock switch
–Front door switch (LH, RH)
–Rear door switch (LH, RH)
–Back latch (door ajar switch)
–Glass hatch ajar switch
–Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1st position, front fog lamp)
–Keyfob (lock/unlock signal)
–Front door lock assembly LH (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.

NOTE:

Always check the "Trouble Diagnosis Procedure" before troubleshooting. Refer to BL-59, "Trouble Diag-
nosis Procedure" .

Always check keyfob battery before replacing keyfob. Refer to BL-65, "Keyfob Battery and Function
Check" .

through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 3.
Key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF), power will not be supplied to BCM terminal 37.
Serial data is supplied

to BCM terminal 22

through main power window and door lock/unlock switch terminal 14.
At the time that front door LH is opened, BCM detects that front door LH is unlocked. It determines that interior
room lamp and map lamp timer operation conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 sec-
onds.
Key is in ignition key cylinder (key switch ON), power is supplied

through key switch and key lock solenoid terminal 4

to BCM terminal 37.
When key is removed from key switch and key lock solenoid (key switch OFF), power supply to BCM terminal
37 is terminated. BCM detects that key has been removed, determines that interior room lamp and map lamp
timer conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamps ON for 30 seconds.
When front door LH opens → closes, and the key is not inserted in the key switch and key lock solenoid (key
switch OFF), BCM terminal 47 changes between 0V (door open) → 12V (door closed). The BCM determines
that conditions for interior room lamp operation are met and turns the interior room lamp ON for 30 seconds.
Timer control is canceled under the following conditions.

Front door LH is locked [when locked by keyfob, main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or front
door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)]

Front door LH is opened (front door switch LH turns ON)

Ignition switch ON.
INTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
If interior lamp is left “ON”, it will not be turned off even when door is closed.
BCM turns off interior lamp automatically to save battery 30 minutes after ignition switch is turned off.
BCM controls interior lamps listed below:

Va n i t y l a m p

Room/map lamp

Cargo lamp

Personal lamp

St ep la m ps

Puddle lamps

Foot lamps

Ignition keyhole illumination
After lamps turn OFF by the battery saver system, the lamps illuminate again when

signal received from keyfob, or main power window and door lock/unlock switch or front door lock assem-
bly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked

door is opened or closed

key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF) or inserted in ignition key cylinder (key switch
ON).
Interior lamp battery saver control period can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
System DescriptionEIS004XE

Refer to Owner's Manual for Automatic Drive Positioner system operating instructions.

The settings (ON/OFF) of the automatic sliding seat (Entry/Exiting operation) at entry/exit can be changed
as desired, using the display unit in the center of the instrument panel. The set content is transmitted by
CAN communication, from display control unit to driver seat control unit.

Using CONSULT-ll, the seat slide amount at entry/exit setting can be changed.
NOTE:

Disconnecting the battery erases the stored memory.

After connecting the battery, insert the key into the ignition cylinder and turn the front door switch LH ON (open) →OFF (close) →ON
(open), the Entry/Exiting function becomes possible.

After Exiting operation is carried out, return operation can be operated.
NOTE:
During automatic operation, if the ignition switch is turned ON →START, the automatic operation is suspended. When the ignition switch
returns to ON, it resumes.
FAIL-SAFE MODE
When any manual and automatic operations are not performed, if any motor operations of seats or pedals are
detected for T2 or more, status is judged “Output error ”.
