POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM
System Description
OUTLINE
-
IPDM E/R incorporates a power consumption control function that reduces the power consumption according to the vehicle status.
-
IPDM E/R changes its status (control mode) with the sleep wake up signal received from BCM via CAN communication.
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 communication.
-
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.
