Part name

Description

BCM

• Receives lighting and turn signal requests from combination

switch (lighting and turn signal switch).

• Receives stop lamp signal requests from combination meter via

CAN communication.

• Sends lighting signal request to the IPDM E/R to control the tail

lamp relay via CAN communication.

• Sends turn/hazard/brake control signal to the trailer turn relays.

IPDM E/R

Activates the tail lamp relay upon request from the BCM via CAN
communication.

Combination meter

• Receives stop lamp switch signal from stop lamp switch.
• Sends stop lamp signal request to the BCM via CAN communi-

cation.

Combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch)

Outputs lighting and turn signal requests to the BCM.

System Description

INFOID:0000000005561512

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 10ms interval normally.

NOTE:
BCM reads the status of the combination switch at 20ms 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

→

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >

COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM

- 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 the 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 “1E” 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 switch, front wiper LO switch) are turned ON
