Challenger V8-5.7L (2010)
Module (PCM) to automatically turn on the interior lighting after an airbag deployment event, ten seconds after the vehicle speed is zero. The
interior lighting remains illuminated until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, at which time the interior lighting returns to normal
operation and control. These Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS) features are each dependent upon a functional vehicle electrical system
following the vehicle impact event.
-
Exterior Lighting Control - The CCN provides electronic headlamp and/or park lamp request messages to the FCM located on the Integrated
Power Module (IPM), for the appropriate exterior lamp control of standard head and park lamps, as well as optional front fog lamps.
-
Exterior Lighting Fail-safe - In the absence of a headlamp switch input, the FCM turns on the cluster illumination lamps and provides electronic
headlamp low beam and park lamp request messages. The FCM also provides default park lamp and headlamp low beam operation. The CCN
turns on the cluster general illumination lighting, if there is a failure of the electronic data bus communication between the CCN and the FCM.
-
Fuel Level and DTE Data Support - The CCN receives fuel-used and distance-traveled information from the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
or the PCM across the CAN data bus. The CCN uses this input to calculate the proper fuel gauge needle position and low fuel indicator operation.
Based upon this input, the CCN calculates fuel level, average fuel economy and distance to empty data, then uses electronic messaging to transmit
this data over the CAN data bus for use by other electronic modules in the vehicle.
-
Heated Seat Control - The CCN monitors hardwired inputs from the heated seat switches. Once the CCN confirms the status of the switch, it
conveys a data Bus signal to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) for the request. Once the HSM receives this request, a message is sent back out on
the data Bus to the CCN to actuate the low side driver outputs to the heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators. The CCN
de-energizes the heated seat switch LED indicators, which deactivates the heated seat system, if the ignition switch is turned to any position except
On or Start.See: Body and Frame/Seats/Seat Heater/Description and Operation/Heated Seats - Description.
-
Interior Lamp Load Shedding - The CCN provides a battery saver feature which automatically turns off all interior lamps that remain on after a
timed interval of about ten minutes, as long as the key is in the OFF position and out of the ignition. If the interior lamps are turned back on during
the ten minute time out period, the CCN alters the time out period to 90 seconds. If the vehicle is restarted during the time out period, the CCN
reverts to the ten minute time out logic.
-
Interior Lighting Control - The CCN monitors inputs from the interior lighting switch, the door ajar switches, the reading lamp switches and the
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN), to provide courtesy lamp control. This includes support for timed illuminated entry with theater-style fade-to-off
and courtesy illumination defeat features.
-
Power Locks - The CCN monitors inputs from the power lock switches and the WIN, to provide control of the power lock motors through both
the high and low side driver outputs to the motors. This includes support for the rolling door locks (also known as automatic door locks),
automatic door unlock and door lock inhibit mode. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless
Entry/Description and Operation/Passive Entry System - Description
-
Panel Lamps Dimming Control - The CCN monitors hardwired multiplexed inputs from the headlamp switch on the instrument panel, then
provides a hardwired Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level of all panel lamps dimmer controlled lamps with
the cluster illumination lighting.
-
Remote Radio Switch Interface - The CCN monitors inputs from the optional remote radio switches, then provides the appropriate electronic
data bus messages to the radio, to select the radio operating mode, volume control, preset station scan and station seek features. The radio switches
also permit the driver to scroll through and make selections on the EVIC.
-
Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Lamp Control - The CCN monitors data Bus messages from the FCM, then provides electronic turn and
hazard lamp illumination. The CCN provides an audible click at one of two rates, to emulate normal and bulb out turn or hazard flasher operation,
based upon electronic lamp outage messages from the FCM. The CCN provides an audible turn signal on chime warning, if a turn is signalled
continuously for more than about 1.6 kilometers (one mile) and the vehicle speed remains greater than about twenty-four kilometers-per-hour
(fifteen miles-per-hour).
-
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Synchronization - The CCN monitors Bus information from the FCM, then transmits electronic panel lamp
dimming level messages. It allows all other electronic modules on the CAN data bus with VFD units to coordinate their illumination intensity with
the CCN VFD units. This includes a parade mode (also known as funeral mode), that allows all VFD units in the vehicle to be illuminated at full
(daytime) intensity while driving during daylight hours with the exterior lamps turned on.
-
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) Control - The CCN monitors inputs from the door ajar switches, the ignition switch and the WIN. It then
provides electronic horn and lighting request messages to the FCM located on the Integrated Power Module (IPM) for the appropriate VTSS alarm
output features.
