Class 2 communications will not start until the vehicle systems "on" power mode has been identified. Three discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts are monitored by the instrument cluster (IPC) in order to determine the present power mode (ignition switch position). The IPC communicates the system power mode to all class 2 modules on the class 2 serial data line.
