System Operation: Startup-Shutdown

The IPC provides a startup-shutdown sequence also known as a welcome-farewell strategy. When the BCM receives a RKE request or a door ajar (open) message, the IPC illuminates the RH and LH turn indicators briefly then displays the message center splash screen. When the ignition is placed in the RUN or START mode, the message center proves out and defaults to normal operation. The IPC illuminates all LED indicators for a predetermined time (prove-out).
