OUTLINE

BCM incorporates a power saving control function that reduces the power consumption according to the vehicle status.
BCM switches the status (control mode) by itself with the power saving control function. It performs the sleep request to each unit (IPDM E/R and combination meter) that operates with the ignition switch OFF. Normal mode (wake-up)
- CAN communication is normally performed with other units
- Each control with BCM is operating properly
CAN communication sleep mode (CAN sleep)
- CAN transmission is stopped
- Control with BCM only is operating
Low power consumption mode (BCM sleep)
- Low power consumption control is active
- CAN transmission is stopped

INPUT SIGNAL AND OUTPUT SIGNAL

Major signal transmission between each unit via communication lines is shown in the following table:

Component parts	Signal description
IPDM E/R	Each unit transmits the sleep-ready signal (ready) to the BCM when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled. Each unit transmits the sleep-ready signal (not-ready) to the BCM when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled. Each unit receives the sleep wake up signal (sleep) from the BCM via CAN communication. Each unit receives the sleep wake-up signal (wake up) from the BCM via CAN communication.
Combination meter
BCM	BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled. BCM transmits the sleep wake-up signal (wake up) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled. BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from each unit via CAN communication. BCM receives the wake-up signal from each unit via CAN communication.

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL WITH BCM

BCM reduces the power consumption with the following operation in the low power consumption mode:

The reading interval of each switch changes from 10 ms interval to 60 ms interval.

SLEEP MODE ACTIVATION

BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and combination meter via CAN communication.
BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled.
Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wake-up signal. BCM is in CAN communication 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.

WAKE-UP OPERATION

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 consumption mode or the CAN communication sleep mode to the normal mode.
Each unit starts the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wake-up signal. In addition, the combination meter transmits the wake-up signal to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communication start.
