Description And Operation: Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The UAM communicates with the Body Control Module (BCM) via the Local Interface Network (LIN) serial data bus.
The BCM controls the activation of the anti-tilt system and ultrasonic sensors and provides the configuration and calibration parameters that are used by the sensors for correct operation. In the other direction, the UAM sends the BCM information on its status.
Disabling anti-tilt and volumetric sensors
With the vehicle stationary and key OFF, the user can press the dedicated button to manually disable the volumetric and anti-tilt function.
When the UAM detects a press of the dedicated button, it informs the BCM via the LIN data bus and provides the user with a visual indication through the LED on the button.
