INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

• PDS (POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM) is the system that BCM controls with the operation of the ignition

switch and performs the power distribution to each power circuit.

• The ignition switch operation is input to BCM as a signal. BCM changes the power supply position according

to the status and operates the ignition relay (inside IPDM E/R) to supply power to each power circuit.

OUTLINE

• IPDM E/R incorporates a power consumption control function that reduces the power consumption accord-

ing to the vehicle status.

• IPDM E/R changes its status (control mode) with the sleep wake up signal received from BCM via CAN com-

munication.

Normal mode (wake-up)

- CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
- Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.

Low power consumption mode (sleep)

- Low power consumption control is active.
- CAN transmission is stopped.

SLEEP MODE ACTIVATION

• IPDM E/R judges that the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled when the ignition switch is OFF and none of the

conditions below are present. Then it transmits a sleep-ready signal (ready) to BCM via CAN communica-
tion.

- Front wiper fail-safe operation
- Outputting signals to actuators
- Switches or relays operating
- Auto active test is starting
- Emergency OFF
- Output requests are being received from control units via CAN communication.
• IPDM E/R stops CAN communication and enters the low power consumption mode when it receives a sleep

wake up signal (sleep) from BCM and the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled.

WAKE-UP OPERATION

• IPDM E/R changes from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode when it receives a sleep

wake-up signal (wake up) from BCM or any of the following conditions is fulfilled. In addition, it transmits a
sleep-ready signal (not-ready) to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communication start.

- Ignition switch ON
- An output request is received from a control unit via CAN communication.
