Wake-up and Sleep

The multiplex control system has "wake-up" and "sleep" functions to decrease parasitic draw on the battery when the ignition switch is OFF.

• In the sleep mode, the multiplex control unit stops functioning (communication and CPU control) when it is not necessary for the system to operate.
• As soon as any operation is requested (for example, a door is unlocked), the related control unit in the sleep mode immediately wakes up and begins to function.
• When the ignition switch is turned OFF, and the driver's or front passenger's door is opened, then closed, there is about a 10 second delay before the control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the sleep mode.
• If any door is open, the sleep mode will not function.
• If a key is in the ignition switch, the sleep mode will not function.
• When in sleep mode, the draw is reduced from 70 - 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
