1.Preface
This document describes the requirements and operation of the Passive Entry System. However, this
document is especially for the Entry system ECU (acronym for Electric Control Unit) and the FOB.
The FOB consists the following functionality for passive access and active access:
Door unlocking / locking (however, only for request by means of switch operation)
Trunk open (however, only for request by means of switch operation)
LF decoding
RF encoding
Communication data encryption (cryptograph, anti-collision, rolling code and stuff)
And the entry system ECU consists of the following functionality:
Door unlocking / locking
Trunk open
Engine start (/ stop)
LF encoding
RF encoding
Communication data encryption (cryptograph, anti-collision, rolling code and stuff)
LF antenna unit control
Communication with the node ECUs connected to the body bus (e.g. CAN, J1850, customer
dependent bus)
As a further function, both the FOB and the entry system ECU provides the following function:
Learning mode for programming the manufacturing data and stuff
Data locking and password protection
Diagnostic (based upon ISO9141 if required)

2.Passsive Accsess Entry Functionality
A handle sw located on, for example the door handles, mirrors and trunk lid will be used for proximity
check if user is in neighborhood of the vehicle. The switch input will trigger for unlocking and open the
doors and trunk.
Figure 1
2.1.Door Unlocking
User pushes door handle sw.
ECU sends LF-challenge via exterior antenna.
FOB sends RF-response to the ECU.
Door unlocking status is engaged.
Doors are opened.

2.2.Engine Start
User operates the engine start knob.
ECU sends LF-challenge via interior antenna.
FOB sends RF-response to the ECU.
Immobilizer ECU receives and authorize the response.
Engine controller ECU receives the authorization for engine strat.
Start the engine.

2.3.Engine Stop
User operates the engine stop knob.
ECU communicates with the other ECU for engine start request.
Engine controller ECU receives the request.
Stop the engine

2.4.Door Locking (Push switch)
User closes the door and pushes the switch (sensing of door locking switch).
ECU sends LF-challenge via exterior antenna.
FOB sends RF-response to the ECU.
Door locking status is engaged.
Doors are locked.
(Indicates the door locking status by means of Flasher / Buzzer or stuff)
