Integrated Central Control Unit (ICU)

The ICU (Integrated Central Control Unit) is an integrated intelligent junction block and central gateway.

It performs the function of a conventional "Smart Junction Block" and the function of a "Central Gateway" communication device.

Central Gateway (CGW)

The CGW is a controller that provides communication between controllers connected to different networks.

Five CAN networks are connected to the CGW. B-CAN and M-CAN are connected to low-speed CAN, and C-CAN and P-CAN are connected to high-speed CAN. D-CAN is connected for inspection.

  1. CGW Main Specifications

    1. Routing: Exchanges information between different vehicle communication networks.

    2. Network Security Control: Allows only inspection communication (D-CAN) to connect to the vehicle network to prevent

    3. Additional Functions

      • If the warning lamp is on, perform remote diagnosis of the chassis CAN (C-CAN) system via the I-Box and gateway.

      • Dark Current Measurement: After sending a forced electronic shutdown message for each network from the diagnostic equipment, the gateway also enters sleep mode.

      • Current operation check: check the problem while the electronic parts are operating.

    4. Diagnose the malfunction when a CAN communication signal failure occurs in the communication line / control defect.

      (CGW records a DTC for the controller with the transmission error.)

  2. How to Check the CGW

    1. Although the record "No CGW CAN signal (TIMEOUT)" appears during inspection, the malfunction code of the faulty electronic component must never be determined as a CGW failure. CGW is the controller that serves as an intermediary between the transmitting and receiving controllers in the vehicle. If one of the following two cases occurs: (1) the transmitting controller cannot send a message to CGW, so CGW cannot send it to the receiving controller; (2) CGW sends a predefined value (Timeout Value), and the receiving controller records a malfunction code for message transmission failure. Therefore, to finally identify the controller that cannot send the CAN signal, the CGW DTC must be checked. CGW records a DTC only when it cannot receive a signal for more than 10 seconds after KEY ON. To determine the cause of the absence of CAN signal transmission, the CGW DTC must be checked after waiting more than 20 seconds with KEY ON.

    2. If the CAN communication control unit is not reinstalled after removal from the vehicle, CGW records the "No CAN signal" malfunction code for the unit.

      If the malfunction code remains after replacing the electronic components and the malfunction code is not erased, check whether the connector of the electronic component is damaged and whether it is connected correctly, and whether the CAN bus wiring of the controller is operating normally. If the removed electronic component cannot be reinstalled, the "Erase Expected Network Configuration" service must be performed. Refer to the DTC troubleshooting manual for the execution method of each malfunction code service.

      Otherwise, the "No CAN signal" malfunction code on the corresponding controller may not be erased.

    3. IGN2 SJB is turned on when the MCU has failed (inoperative state due to external physical or electrical impact). To ensure driver safety, the low beam headlamps, external and internal rear lamps are forcibly turned on when the low beam headlamp switch is ON.

    4. IGN2 is turned on when data transmission/reception is impossible due to a failure in the CAN communication line (both cables shorted high/low, BAT shorted high/low, GND shorted high/low). In case of a fault in the CAN communication line connected to the SJB module, when the headlamp low beam switch is ON, the low beam headlamps and internal/external rear lamps are forcibly turned on.

Smart Junction Block (SJB)

The Smart Junction Block (SJB) is a module that performs the function of a conventional junction box and some BCM functions.

It controls various components, including lamps, using CAN communication and IPS (which replaces the function of fuses and relays) or ARISU.

IPS stands for Intelligent Power Switch, which uses semiconductor technology to replace the current role of fuses and relays.

The IPS chip performs two functions:

1) controls high-current components;

2) protects components from overcurrent.

  2. SJB Protection

    1. PCL (Programmable Current Limiter) Functions

      • PCL replaces the protective function of the junction box wiring.

      • How it works: If the lamp current exceeds the standard level, cut off the current to protect the lamp.

      • Lamp shut-off time: 300 ms or less.

      • Components used: all lamp components are controlled by the SJB.

      • Output the DTC according to the fault detection condition.

    2. OCL (Open Current Limit)

      • OCL detects the open state of the lamp and informs the user of this.

      • How it works: Detect the lamp current and, if it is below the standard level, change the lamp operating mode.

      • Components used: 4 turn signal lamps

      • Output the DTC according to the fault detection condition.

  3. SJB Fail-Safe Function

    1. When the MCU has failed (inoperative due to physical or electrical impact from outside), and the IGN2 and headlamp low beam switch are ON, the SJB turns on the low beam headlamps and external/internal rear lamps to ensure driver safety.

    2. When data transmission/reception fails due to a failure of the CAN communication line connected to the SJB module (both high and low lines open, high/low BAT short, high/low GND short), the low beam headlamps and internal/external rear lamps are forcibly turned on if IGN2 is ON and the headlamp low beam switch is ON.

  4. Battery Saver Auto Shut-Off System

    1. Description: Automatically cuts off power supplied to components to reduce unnecessary dark current depending on the vehicle condition.

    2. The SJB has 3 modes: "Normal Mode", "Sleep Mode", and "Power Off Mode". The automatic dark current cut-off control is performed in "Sleep Mode".

      • Sleep state: IG OFF, constant input switch, CAN network is not activated.

      • Deciding condition "Sleep": any switch input, CAN network activated, KEY ON, IGN ON

      • "Power Off" condition: timer setting time, which is used by cutting off the load; power expires.

      • "Normal Mode": The SJB function is normally active.

      • "Sleep mode": a low power consumption mode that is activated to reduce power consumption of the SJB or IPM. The dark current cut-off function is automatically activated.

      • "Power-down mode": power to the MCU and the circuit is cut off to minimize power consumption. Operation stops.

    3. Description - Automatic Dark Current Cut-off
