2CONTROL
2-1 COMMUNICATION CONTROL
2-1-1 DESCRIPTION
The meter ECU controls the following items.
1.Evaluation of presence/non-presence of ECU
2.Communication start informing control
3.Wake-up/sleep control
2-1-2 EVALUATION OF PRESENCE/NON-PRESENCE OF ECU
The meter ECU detects the presence of the ECU every time the battery power supply is turned on.
1.When the LIN communication applicable ECU is not connected to the meter ECU, or when it does not
respond to the meter ECU due to failure, etc. of the LIN communication applicable ECU, the meter
ECU transmits a command to other ECUs that have been judged to be present to perform such communication control that is to be carried out when the ECU that has made no response is not mounted
(Evaluation of ECU non-presence).
2.The meter ECU, after detecting the presence of the ECU, continues to monitor ECU connecting status
at constant intervals.
3.When the LIN communication applicable ECU responds properly to the meter ECU during the ECU
presence/non-presence evaluation, or when the ECU that has made no response returns to the normal condition and makes a proper response after the ECU has been judged not to be present, the
meter ECU transmits a command to other LIN communication applicable ECUs to perform such communication control that is to be carried out when the ECU that has made a response is mounted
(Evaluation of ECU presence).
2-1-3 COMMUNICATION START CONTROL
The communication start is always started from the meter ECU. The signal of communication start is transmitted to other ECU.
2-1-4 WAKE-UP/SLEEP CONTROL
When transferring to the sleep (the low current mode), or transferring from the sleep (the low current
mode) to the wake-up (the standby mode), the meter ECU transmits a transfer start command to the other
LIN communication applicable ECUs, thereby transferring to the wake-up/sleep control.
2-2 WAKE-UP/SLEEP FUNCTION
2-2-1 DESCRIPTION
The LIN communication system is equipped with a wake-up/sleep function to reduce the current used
when the IG switch is in the ACC and LOCK positions.
2-2-2 CONDITIONS FOR REALIZING SLEEP
When the following conditions 1 and 2, or the condition 3 is satisfied, the meter ECU sends a sleep command to each ECU, thus transferring to the sleep state (the low current mode).
1.The IG switch is set to the ACC position or the LOCK position.
2.The meter ECU received the information that the control of each ECU is complete, and the control of
the meter itself is complete.
3.Ten minutes have passed after the IG switch was set to the ACC position or the LOCK position, with
the door open (the battery discharging prevention function).
2-2-3 CONDITIONS FOR REALIZING WAKE-UP
When either of the following conditions is satisfied, the meter ECU sends a wake-up command to each
ECU, thus transferring to the wake-up state (the standby mode).
1.Cases where there is a change in the data to be communicated at each ECU, and the ECU transmits
a wake-up (the standby mode) signal to the meter ECU.
2.Cases where the IG switch is turned from the ACC or LOCK position to the ON position.
3.Immediately after connecting a battery.
