Conventional Ignition Switch System: Notes

The ignition switch is used to control the ignition states, including OFF, ACC, ON and START by providing input to the BCM  . This allows some systems to be activated without starting the vehicle.

The BCM  also sends a message over the CAN  for modules to power up or power down, depending on the ignition state determined by the BCM  .
