System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146384
OUTLINE
• BCM (Body Control Module) controls the various electrical components. It inputs the information required to
the control from CAN communication and the signal received from each switch and sensor.
• BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation status of combination switches (light,
turn signal, wiper and washer) in addition to a function fo r controlling the operation of various electrical com-
ponents. It also has the signal transmission function as the passed point of signal and the power consump-
tion control function that reduces the power consumption with the ignition switch OFF.
• BCM is equipped with the diagnosis function that perfo rms the diagnosis with CONSULT-III and various set-
tings.

OUTLINE
• BCM reads the status of the combination switch (light, turn signal, wiper and washer) and recognizes the
status of each switch.
• BCM is a combination of 5 output terminals (OUTPUT 1 - 5) and 5 input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5). It reads a
maximum of 20 switch status.

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
• BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 10 ms interval normally.
NOTE:
BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 20 ms interval when BCM is controlled at low power con-
sumption control mode.
• BCM operates as follows and judges the status of the combination switch.
- INPUT 1 - 5 outputs the voltage waveforms of 5 systems simultaneously.
- It operates the transistor on OUTPUT side in the following order: OUTPUT 5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1.
System OUTPUT 1 OUTPUT 2 OUTPUT 3 OUTPUT 4 OUTPUT 5
INPUT 1 —FR WASHER FR WIPER LOW TURN LH TURN RH
INPUT 2 FR WIPER HI —FR WIPER INT PASSING HEADLAMP 1

- The voltage waveform of INPUT corresponding to the
formed circuit changes according to the operation of
the transistor on OUTPUT side if any (1 or more) switches are ON.
- It reads this change of the voltage as the status signal of the combination switch.
Operation Example
In the following operation example, the combination of t he status signals of the combination switch is replaced
as follows: INPUT 1 - 5 to “1 - 5” and OUTPUT 1 - 5 to “A - E”.
Example 1: When a switch (TURN RH switch) is turned ON
• The circuit between INPUT 1 and OUTPUT 5 is formed when the TURN RH switch is turned ON.
• BCM detects the combination switch status signal “1 E” when the signal of OUTPUT 5 is input to INPUT 1.
• BCM judges that the TURN RH switch is ON when the signal “1E” is detected.
Example 2: When some switches (turn RH s witch, front wiper LO switch) are turned ON

COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM
• The circuits between INPUT 1 and OUTPUT 5 and between INPUT 1 and OUTPUT 3 are formed when the
TURN RH switch and FR WIPER LOW switch are turned ON.
• BCM detects the combination switch status signal “1CE” when the signals of OUTPUT 3 and OUTPUT 5 are input to INPUT 1.
• BCM judges that the TURN RH switch and FR WIPE R LOW switch are ON when the signal “1CE” is
detected.
WIPER INTERMITTENT DIAL POSITION SETTIN G (FRONT WIPER INTERMITTENT OPERATION)
BCM judges the wiper intermittent dial 1 - 7 by the status of INT VOLUME 1, 2 and 3 switches.

POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005146391
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146392
OUTLINE
• BCM incorporates a power consumpt
ion 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 (PDM E/R, combination meter and In telligent Key unit) 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
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 the each switches changes from 10 ms interval to 20 ms interval.
Sleep mode activation
• BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R, combination meter and Intelligent Key unit via
CAN communication.
• 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 communicati on with the sleep wake up signal. BCM is in CAN com-
munication sleep mode.
• BCM is in the low power consumption mode and perform the low power consumption control when all of the
BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.

Wake-up operation
• BCM transmits sleep wake up signal (wake up) to each unit when any condition listed below is established,
and then goes into normal mode from low power consumption mode.
• Each unit starts transmissions with CAN communication by receiving sleep wake up signals. Each unit trans- mits wake up signals to BCM with CAN communication to convey the start of CAN communication.
