In order to minimize the potential effects of Ignition-OFF Draw (IOD), the CAN-Interior network employs a sleep strategy. However, a network sleep
strategy should not be confused with the sleep strategy of the individual nodes on that network, as they may differ. For example: The CAN-C bus
network is awake only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions; however, the TIPM, which is on the CAN-C bus, may still be awake
with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or UNLOCK positions. The integrated circuitry of an individual node may be capable of processing certain
sensor inputs and outputs without the need to utilize network resources.
The CAN-Interior bus network remains active until all nodes on that network are ready for sleep. This is determined by the network using tokens in a
manner similar to polling. When the last node that is active on the network is ready for sleep, and it has already received a token indicating that all other
nodes on the bus are ready for sleep, it broadcasts a bus sleep acknowledgment message that causes the network to sleep. Once the CAN-Interior bus
network is asleep, any node on the bus can awaken it by transmitting a message on the network. The TIPM will keep either the CAN-Interior or the
CAN-C bus awake for a timed interval after it receives a diagnostic message for that bus over the Diagnostic CAN-C bus.
In the CAN system, available options are configured into the TIPM at the assembly plant, but additional options can be added in the field using the
diagnostic scan tool. The configuration settings are stored in non-volatile memory. The TIPM also has two 64-bit registers, which track each of the
as-built and currently responding nodes on the CAN-Interior and CAN-C buses. The TIPM stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in one of two
caches for any detected active or stored faults in the order in which they occur. One cache stores powertrain (P-Code), chassis (C-Code) and body
(B-Code) DTCs, while the second cache is dedicated to storing network (U-Code) DTCs.
If there are intermittent or active faults in the CAN network, a diagnostic scan tool connected to the Diagnostic CAN-C bus through the 16-way Data
Link Connector (DLC) may only be able to communicate with the TIPM. To aid in CAN network diagnosis, the TIPM will provide CAN-Interior and
CAN-C network status information to the scan tool using certain diagnostic signals. In addition, the transceiver in each node on the CAN-C bus will
identify a bus off hardware failure , while the transceiver in each node on the CAN-Interior bus will identify a general bus hardware failure. The
transceivers for some CAN-Interior nodes will also identify certain failures for both CAN-Interior bus signal wires.
