OUTLINE
• BCM (body control module) controls various electric al components. It receives the information required from
CAN communication and the signals received from each switch and sensor.
• BCM has a combination switch reading function for readi ng the status of combination switches (light, turn
signal, wiper and washer) in addition to functions for c ontrolling the operation of various electrical compo-
nents. It also has a signal transmission function for ot her systems, and a power consumption control function
that reduces the power consumpt ion with the ignition switch OFF.
• BCM is equipped with a diagnosis function that operates with CONSULT and allows for various settings to
be changed.

• BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and combination meter via CAN communica-
tion.
• BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are ful-
filled.
• Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wakeup signal. BCM is in CAN com- munication sleep mode.
• BCM is in the low power consumption mode and performs the low power consumption control when all of the
BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.
Sleep condition
Wake-up operation
• BCM changes from the low power consumption m ode to the CAN communication sleep mode when the any
of the BCM wake-up conditions are fulfilled. Only the control with BCM is activated.
• BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (wake up) to each unit when any of the CAN wake-up conditions are fulfilled. It changes from the low power consum ption mode or the CAN communication sleep mode to the
normal mode.
• Each unit starts the transmission of CAN communicati on with the sleep wake up signal. In addition, the com-
bination meter transmits the wake up signal to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communica-
tion start.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• When the BCM detects that each door request switch (if equipped) is pressed, it activates the outside key
antenna and inside key antenna corresponding to the pres sed door request switch (if equipped) and trans-
mits the request signal to the Intelligent Key. T hen check that the Intelligent Key is near the door.
• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key ant enna detection area, it receives the request signal and
transmits the key ID signal to the BCM via remote keyless entry receiver.
• BCM receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
• BCM locks/unlocks each door.
• BCM sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer (lock: 2 ti mes, unlock: 1 time) and blinks hazard warning lamps
(lock: 2 times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time as a reminder.
OPERATION CONDITION
If the following conditions are satisfied, door lock/unl ock operation is performed if the door request switch (if
equipped) is operated.
*: Even with a registered Intelligent Key remaining inside the vehicle, door locks can be locked/unlocked from outside of the v ehicle with
a spare Intelligent Key as long as key IDs are different.
OUTSIDE KEY ANTENNA DETECTION AREA
The outside key antenna detection area of door lock/unlock function
is in the range of approximately 80 cm (31.50 in) surrounding the
driver, passenger door handles (1) and rear bumper (2). However,
this operating range depends on the ambient conditions.
SELECTIVE UNLOCK FUNCTION
Lock Operation
When a LOCK signal is sent from door r equest switch (if equipped), all doors are locked.
Unlock Operation
• When an UNLOCK signal from driver side door request swit ch (if equipped) is transmitted, driver side door is
unlocked. When another UNLOCK signal is transmitted within 60 seconds, all other doors are unlocked.
• When an UNLOCK signal from passenger side door reques t switch (if equipped) is transmitted, passenger
side door is unlocked. When another UNLOCK signal is transmitted within 60 seconds, all other doors are
unlocked.
How To Change Selective Unlock Operation Mode
Selective unlock operation mode can be changed using CONSULT.
Refer to BCS-22, "INTELLIGENT KEY : CONSUL T Function (BCM - INTELLIGENT KEY)"
.
HAZARD AND BUZZER REMINDER FUNCTION
During lock or unlock operation by each door request switch (if equipped), the hazard warning lamps and Intel-
ligent Key warning buzzer blinks or honks as a reminder.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY F UNCTION : System DiagramINFOID:0000000009461780
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCT ION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461781
The Intelligent Key has the same functions as the remote control entry system. Therefore, it can be used in the
same manner as the remote controller by operating the door lock/unlock button.
OPERATION
Remote keyless entry system controls operation of the following items.
• Door lock/unlock function
• Selective unlock function
• Auto door lock function
• Hazard and horn reminder function
• Trunk lid open function
• Remote engine start
OPERATION AREA
The remote engine start operating range is appr oximately 60 m (197 ft) from the vehicle.
REMOTE ENGINE START FUNCTION
• When the lock button and then the remote engine start butt on of the Intelligent Key are pressed within 5 sec-
onds of each other, a start signal is transmitted from Intelligent Key to BCM via remote keyless entry
receiver.
• When the BCM receives the remote engine start signal , it locks all doors, flashes the hazard lamps and
chirps the horn and the engine will then start.
• To exit the remote engine start mode from inside t he vehicle, depress the brake pedal and press the push-
button ignition switch at the same time.
• To cancel the remote engine start mode away from t he vehicle, press the remote engine start button on the
Intelligent Key.
• Once the vehicle has been started using the remote engi ne start feature it will remain running for 10 minutes.
Extended run time can be added to the initial 10 minute running time by pressing the lock button and remote
engine start button within 5 seconds of each other. Th is will add an additional 10 minutes of running time.
Extended time can only be added once, for a total run time of up to 20 minutes.
DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION
• When door lock/unlock button of the Intelligent Key is pr essed, lock signal or unlock signal transmitted from
Intelligent Key to BCM via remote keyless entry receiver.
