Waking up the vehicle

Registration of the waking in the JBE

K-CAN bus wakings can be recognised by the JBE and allocated to the individual control units. The last 50 CAN messages that woke the K-CAN bus are stored in the energy history memory in the JBE. The relative time from the instrument cluster and the kilometre reading are also stored as marginal conditions.

However, no distinction can be made between authorised and unauthorised wakings.

Note: If the test module is unable to interpret the waking CAN message, ”unknown control unit” is displayed as waking. This can have the following possible causes:

Brief description of components

Waking registration in the junction box electronics

The JBE contains another processor, a so-called co-processor. As the JBE itself 'goes to sleep in the idle state, thus switching off the main process, the JBE would not notice a brief waking.
With the other processor, the K-CAN bus can be permanently monitored and the waking attempts stored in the energy history memory.

System functions

The wakings are recorded in the time span between terminal ”R off” and terminal ”R on”. Due to the electrical processes in the idle state of the vehicle, wakings also occur when the vehicle is fully intact. This means that when these wakings are evaluated the wakings that normally occur are to be taken into account:

Authorised waking

Control unit name

Possible reasons for waking (authorised wakings)

JBE junction box electronics

- Luggage compartment button and luggage
compartment lock. Actuating the glove compartment button.

General information

Troubleshooting in the event of a problem with too many unauthorised wakings

The vehicle is not permitted to wake any of the control units not mentioned above. In the event of errors in the energy diagnosis test module or in the service function for analysis of the waking, they are recognised as unauthorised wakings.

In the event of errors (frequent unauthorised waking), the following possible causes are to be checked:

Diagnosis instructions

Observe the instructions in the diagnosis system: energy diagnosis test module and service function for the analysis of wakings.
