< SERVICE INFORMATION >
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
NOTE:
Headlamp has a dual system switch.
4. Example operation: (When lighting switch 1st position turned ON)
• 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 lighting
switch 1st position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp ON signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
• When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5 and rec-
ognizes that lighting switch 1st position is continuously ON.
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10ms intervals. Therefore, after a switch is turned ON,
electrical loads are activated with a time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be noticed.
5. Operation mode
• Combination switch reading function has operation modes as follows:

Normal status
• When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10ms.
Sleep status
• When BCM is in sleep mode, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low-cur-
rent-consumption mode. OUTPUTS (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF at 60ms intervals, 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 reduce 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, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive 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 switches to
inactive status.
4. Sleep status
• BCM is activated with low current consumption mode.
• CAN communication is not active.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
• 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.
