Kia Sportage: Exterior Lighting Control

Tail Lamp Control

1. This function describes the following features

1. Turn on and off Tail Lamp by switch input.
2. Turn on and off Tail Lamp in Auto Light Control command.
3. Automatically cut off Tail Lamps if a driver forgets to turn them off.
4. Output control of Tail Lamp.

2. Tail Auto Cut Function Condition

1. The "Tail Auto Cut" strategy ensures that Tail lamps are turned off even if a driver forgets to turn them off.
2. When the Tail lamp is turned on by Tail lamp SW, after key insertion, and if a user removes key and opens the driver side door (or vice versa), the Tail lamps are automatically turned off.
3. While "Tail Auto Cut" function is active, if a user turns off the Tail lamp switch or inserts key, "Tail Auto Cut" function will be deactivated.

NOTE

Dining the activation of Escort function, no Tail Auto Cut mode is possible and it is only after escort function deactivation that Tail Auto Cut mode can be applied.

Head Lamp Control

1. This function describes the following features.

1. Turn on and off Head Lamp Low by Head Lamp Low Switch input.
2. Turn on and off Head Lamp Low by Escort Function.
3. Turn on and off Head Lamp Low by Auto Light Control Request.
4. Turn on and off Head Lamp High by Head Lamp High Switch Input.
5. Turn on and off Head Lamp High and Low by Passing Switch Input.
6. Output control of Head Lamp Low.
7. Output control of Head Lamp High.
8. Output control of Head Lamp High Indicator.
9. Output control of EC DRL Lam

2. Head Lamp Low Control

1. In IGN terminal State (b_IGN = ON), if turn on the Head Lamp LOW SW (L_HeadLampLowSW = ON) or Auto Light sensor value shows head lamp On, Head Lamp Low outputs are turned on (C_HLampLow ON = On).
2. When Tail lamp Off and headlamp Off conditions are satisfied at the same time. Head Lamp LOW and Tail LAMP turned off simultaneous immediately.

3. Head Lamp High Control

1. In IGN terminal State (b_IGN = ON), if turn on the Head Lamp LOW SW (L_HeadLampLowSW = ON) or Auto Light sensor value shows head lamp On, Head Lamp Low outputs are turned on (C_HLampLowON = On).
2. When Tail lamp Off and headlamp Off conditions are satisfied at the same time, Head Lamp LOW and Tail LAMP turned off simultaneous immediately.

3. Head Lamp High Control

1. In IGN terminal State(b_IGN = ON) and Head Lamp Low On (O_HeadLampLowCTRL = ON), if turn on the Head Lamp High SW (L_HeadLampHighSW = ON), Head Lamp High Outputs are turned on (C_HLampHighON = ON).
2. In Auto light mode, if Head Lamp High switch turn on, when Head lamp Low is 'on' then Head Lamp High activation.
3. So, in this case used head lamp low output signal. [O_HeadLampLowCTRL ] this signal is active low, when HeadLampLow On condition, [O_HeadLampLowCTRL = On], it can get the head lamp high switch state.
4. When HeadLampLow Off condition [O_HeadLampLowCTRL = Off], head lamp high switch is not activated, even if multifunction Head Lamp High switch is on.

4. Passing Control

1. In IGN terminal State (b_IGN = ON). If Head Lamp Passing condition Input (b_PassingSW = ON) is detected then Head Lamp High Output (C_HLampHighON = ON) is turned on and Head Lamp Low Output (C_HLampLowON= ON) at the same time.

5. CANADA DRL (NA DRL)

1. If alternator is active (C_AltL = On), BCM activates CANADA DRL functionality and turns on the Head Lamp High (C_CANADA_DRLON=On).
2. Deactivation condition

1. Head Lamp Low On request by Head Lamp switch or auto Light Head Lamp Low control
2. Head High On request by Passing switch
3. Parking Brake switch On

6. Escort Function

1. After user generates the call of head lamp low light (b_HeadLampLowSWOn = ON), if switch off ignition (b_IGN =Off and b_START=Of), and then keep Head Lamp Low Output On (C_HLampLowON= ON) state during 20 min.
2. And after open and close driver side door (C_DRVDRSW = ON → C_DRVDRSW = Off), user will have consequently lighting of head lamp low (C_HLampLowON = ON) during only 30 sec.
3. During active "Escort Function", if receive Lock request 2 times (b_2LOCK = 2) or cancel the lighting request of head lamp low (L_HeadLampLowSW = Off & L_AutoLightSW = Off), this function is released.

NOTE

While escort function is activated, Tail lamp is keeping the turn on state and does not go to Autocut and after finish escort state and user removes key, it can go Autocut mode.

After IGN terminal off 20 minute tuners is started, but as soon as door is opened and closed then 30 sec timer is engaged.

Т1 : Ecsort 20m time, T2 : Ecsoit 30s time

T1 : Ecsort 20m time, T2 : Ecsort 30s time

Auto Light Control

1. This function describes the following features.

1. Input detection by Auto Light Sensor.
2. Generate Auto Light Out Status data.
3. Send Auto Light Out Status.
4. Tail Lamp Control by Auto light Mode.
5. Head Lamp Low Control by Auto light Mode.
6. AV Tail Control by Auto Light sensor level.

2. Variant

AV Tail Output Control

1. hi ACC, IGN, START terminal states, monitoring of the auto light sensor supply's range (AutoLightPwr) is performed and a failure is raises up (Auto Light failure) when the supply's voltage is out of range (outside of range [4V:6V] ).

If Auto Light failure occurs and as long as this error is present, the tail lamp and head lamp low must be turned on regardless of the sunlight level provided by the sensor.

When physical Auto light sensor failure occurs the Lamps are turned on, because a zero voltage level is provided by the sensor when internal failure is present.

This is designed to prevent any head lamp cut off when the failure occurs dining the night.

AV Tail Output Control is started In ACC, IGN, START regardless of MFSW Auto Light switch.

CAN signal AV_Tail is set/reset at the same time as AV Tail.

Front Fog Lamp Control

- In case of Tail Lamp Output On (b_TailLamp = On), if Front Fog Lamp Switch input is detected (L_FrontFogSW = On), Front Fog Lamp outputs (C_FrontFogON = On) is turned ON.
