Low Power Consumption Control With BCM

2012 Nissan-Datsun NV1500 SSECTION Low Power Consumption Control With BCM

BCM reduces the power consumption with the following operation in the low power consumption mode.

  • The reading interval of the switches changes from 10 ms interval to 60 ms interval.

Sleep mode activation

  • BCM receives the sleep-ready signal (ready) from IPDM E/R and combination meter via CAN communication.
  • BCM transmits the sleep wake up signal (sleep) to each unit when all of the CAN sleep conditions are fulfilled.
  • Each unit stops the transmission of CAN communication with the sleep wake up signal. BCM is in CAN communication sleep mode.
  • BCM is in the low power consumption mode and performs the low power consumption control when all of the BCM sleep conditions are fulfilled with CAN sleep condition.
