Then, when the power supply position is turned ON, BCM performs ID verification between BCM and ECM. If
the ID verification result is OK, ECM can start engine.
ECMINFOID:0000000006226155
ECM controls the engine.
When power supply position is turned ON, BCM starts communication with ECM and performs the ID verifica-
tion between BCM and ECM.
If the verification result is OK, the engine can start. If the verification result is NG, the engine can not start.
IPDM E/RINFOID:0000000006226156
IPDM E/R has steering lock relay, starter relay and starte r control relay inside. Steering lock relay is used for
the steering lock/unlock function. Starter relay and star ter control relay are used for the engine starting func-
tion. IPDM E/R controls these relays while communicating with BCM.
NATS Antenna Amp.INFOID:0000000006226157
The ID verification is performed between BCM and transponder in Intelligent Key via NATS antenna amp.
when Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button i gnition switch in case that Intelligent Key battery is
discharged. If the ID verification result is OK, the release of steering lock and the operation of starting engine
is available.
TCMINFOID:0000000006226158
TCM transmits the shift position signal (P/N position) to BCM and IPDM E/R. And further, TCM transmits the
shift position signal (P/N position) to BCM via CAN communication.
BCM confirms the A/T shift selector position with the following 5 signals.
 P position signal from A/T shift selector (detention switch)
 P/N position signal from TCM
 P position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from TCM (CAN)
IPDM E/R confirms the A/T shift sele ctor position with the following 3 signals.
 P position signal from A/T shift selector (detention switch)
 P/N position signal from TCM
 P/N position signal from BCM (CAN)
Combination MeterINFOID:0000000006226159
Combination meter transmits the vehicle speed signal to BCM via CAN communication.
BCM also receives the vehicle speed signal from ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN commu-
nication. BCM compares both signals to detect the vehicle speed.
Door SwitchINFOID:0000000006226160
Door switch detects door open/close condition and then transmits ON/OFF signal to BCM.
Hood SwitchINFOID:0000000006226161
Hood switch detects that hood is open, and then transmits the signal to IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R transmits hood
switch signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Inside Key AntennaINFOID:0000000006226162
Inside key antenna detects whether Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle, and transmits the signal to BCM.
Three inside key antennas are installed in t he instrument center, console and luggage room.
Intelligent KeyINFOID:0000000006226163
Each Intelligent key has an individual electronic ID , and transmits the ID signal by request from BCM.
Carrying the Intelligent Key whose ID is registered in BCM, the driver can performs door lock/unlock operation
and push-button ignition switch operation.

SYSTEM
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006226185
 The vehicle security system has two alarm functions (theft warning alarm and panic alarm), and reduces the
possibility of a theft or mischief by activating horns and headlamps intermittently.
 The panic alarm does not start when the theft warning alarm is activating, and the panic alarm stops when
the theft warning alarm is activated.
The priority of the functions are as per the following.
THEFT WARNING ALARM
 The theft warning alarm function activates horns and headlamps intermittently when BCM detects that any
door or hood is opened by unauthorized means, whil e the system is in the ARMED state.
 Security indicator lamp on combination meter always blinks when power supply position is any position other
than ON. Security indicator lamp blinking warns that the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle security system.

NOTE:
 BCM ignores the door key cylinder UNLOCK switch signal input for 1 second after the door key cylinder LOCK switch signal input .
 To lock/unlock all doors by operating remote controller button of Intelligent Key or door request switch, Intelligent Key must be within
the detection area of outside key antenna. For details, refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description".
 To open back door by operating back door opener switch, Intelligent Key must be within the detection area of outside key anten na. For
details, refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description".
DISARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is not set in the DISARM ED phase. The vehicle security system stays in this
phase while any door is open, because it is assumed that the owner is inside or nearby the vehicle. Security
indicator lamp blinks every 2.4 seconds.
When the vehicle security system is reset, each phase switches to the DISARMED phase directly.
PRE-ARMED Phase
The PRE-ARMED phase is the transient state bet ween the DISARMED phase and the ARMED phase. This
phase is maintained for 30 seconds, so that the owner c an reset the setting due to a mis-operation. This phase
switches to the ARMED phase when vehicle conditions are not changed for 30 seconds. Security indicator
lamp illuminates while being in this phase.
To reset the PRE-ARMED phase, refer to the switching condition of No. 10 in the table above.
ARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is set, and BCM monitors all necessary inputs. If any door or hood is opened with-
out using Intelligent Key, vehicle security system switc hes to the ALARM phase. Security indicator lamp blinks
every 2.4 seconds.
To reset the ARMED phase, refer to the switching condition of No. 11 in the table above.
ALARM Phase
BCM transmits “Theft Warning Horn Request” signal and “High Beam Request” signal intermittently to IPDM
E/R via CAN communication. In this phase, horns and headlamps are activated intermittently for approxi-
mately 50 seconds to warn that the vehicle is accessed by unauthorized means. ON/OFF timing of horns and
headlamps are synchronized. After 50 seconds, the vehi cle security system returns to the ARMED phase. At
