Theory Of Operation

Once the 115 Volt AC Outlet switch is pressed, the Switch Bank Module sends a message over the Local Interface Network (LIN) to the Cluster (CCN) indicating the switch has been pressed. The Cluster (CCN) then sends a message over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to enable the Power Inverter Module. The TIPM provides a voltage output to enable the Power Inverter Module. Once the Power Inverter Module is functional, it sends a signal to the Cluster (CCN) indicating that it is ready to function. The Cluster (CCN) then requests the Switch Bank Module to illuminate the status indicator on the 115 Volt AC Outlet switch.
