1.3  Validity and Track Changes 
Items or parameters values changed compared to previous revision are highlighted in yellow. 
Items or parameters values to be defined or to be confirmed are highlighted in blue.  
1.4  Type of Sensor 
This sensor is a DHS.  
The DHS is a standalone module with capacitive and NFC unctions.  
This module is integrated into a DH, and used in Keyless Entry System, enabling 'key-free' 
Vehicle Unlocking and Locking.  
1.5  Sensor Functions 
The DHS has 3 main functions :  
- Unlock Function : Capacitive detection with 2 detection ranges. 
- Lock Function : Capacitive detection with 2 detections ranges.  
- NFC Function : Read/Write function of NFC Smartcards/Smartphones.

1.6  NFC Reader Principle 
The NFC principle is based on electromagnetic coupling between 2 devices at close distance 
(few cm). 
The PCD emits a electromagnetic field on a 13.56 Mhz carrier. It will power the PICC via 
Induction. 
The PCD can transmit data via Miller Coding and receive data back via Load modulation. 
1.7  Example of sensor use 
Example of Vehicle Access Process (Unlocking):

As the user's hand approaches the capacitive sensor UNLOCK detection area, sensor 
communicates detection to BCM Module. Then, the corresponding LF antenna on front side is 
driven by system to send LF challenge to fob(s) to perform the user's identification process. 
The same principle is used to Lock the vehicle, with a capacitive sensor LOCK detection area.  
The NFC device tap is used to toggle the vehicle locking status.  
2  System Architecture 
2.1  Alternative System Architectures 
Major evaluation criteria for architecture solutions was robustness, proven in use and cost. 
Therefore the generic system architecture for Capa/NFC sensors proven in use in the generic 
project was chosen. 
2.2  Dynamic Behaviors 
Dynamic behaviors, i.e. how the systems elements interact with each other dynamically, are 
mainly driven by the SW. 
Then, the timings and sequence charts are described in EE/SW Interface (HSI, IMS 161922) and 
SW Requirements (IMS 161715)

4.1.3 DHS Error Message 
ID: 167002 
State: Released 
If the DHS has detected any error, it shall pre-set the following data on the CAN Output. 
The Frame NFC_TGS_01 is sent when an active condition is set (AC) or wake up condition (WUC) 
is detected (if NM_NFC_TGS_NM_Activ_KL_15 (AC) set to 1 on or 
NM_NFC_TGS_NM_Activ_Diagnose (AC) set to 1 or NM_NFC_TGS_NM_activ_Auth (AC & WUC) 
set to 1 or NM_BCM2_Car_WakeUp (WUC) set to 1). 
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x0 - No error  
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x1 - DHS Internal error  
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x2 - Antenna error 
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x4 - Undervoltage 
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x8 - Overvoltage  
Frame NFC_TGS_01 : NFC_TGS_Fehler = 0x16 - Overheating

ID: 167097 
State: Released 
The interface to smartphone / smartcard is defined according to ISO 14443A.  
Once a PICC has been detected, the DHS shall enter the NFC RF discovery mode. 
The DHS shall search for all allowed devices, and communicate with PICC type : NFC A Type 4. 
4.3.2 Actuator test 
ID: 191483 
State: Released 
When DHS receive the frame NFC_01 with signal Stellgliedtest_NFC set, the DHS shall perform 
the actuator test requirement as described below : 
1. It shall turn on the antenna for at least p_t_tgs_actuator_test s and look for an external 
device with RF discovery polling rate as short as possible 
2. If it finds an appropriate counterpart (NFC-A Type 4), it shall activate and send the SELECT 
command. 
3. It shall feedback the result by changing the parameter "authenticated NFC-counterpart" 
The DHS Application shall execute the acutator test (when requested) at any time regardless of 
the Misuse or K15 State and ESM. 
It is required that the field is turned on during the complete duration of the actuator test. 
REQA is replaced by WUPA to ensure several communication possible whereas field is kept on. 
The DHS shall stop the actuator test if:

6  Homologation setup 
6.1   General Test conditions 
General test conditions valid for all tests :   
-  All materials within 100mm around the door handle sensor during the test process 
(includes Handle fixations - “Sensor fixture” / “Holder”, sockets, base plate, … -, 
actuation system –robot, arms, …-, tester mechanics, …) shall be made of non conductive 
material and as electrostatic neutral as possible (ie PEEK or PA66 GF30) in order to avoid 
influence on detection distance.

from Door Handle Assembly throughout the test sequence (except for Targets 
themselves). 
-  The connector positions, and then the bed-of-nails, shall be 100 mm away from the 
sensitive areas during the test. 
-  The DHS shall have its dedicated power supply. This power supply shall be a low noise 
linear power supply (switch mode power supplies are prohibited) 
-  No noise shall be visible by oscilloscope on DHS supply line.

Before to start any test, check for each LED and corresponding output that sensor is working 
fine: 
-  touch lock area with thumb for at least 300 ms => check lock prox and lock touch 
function 
-  touch unlock area with hand for at least 200 ms => check unlock prox and unlock touch 
function 
-  approach TAG against NFC area => check NFC function 
6.3.3 Test box function: 
To set the sensor in “normal mode”, as it is in vehicle configuration without communication 
with BCM, let the switch in position RF-OFF. 
To set the sensor in “RF Discovery mode”, set the switch in position RF-ON. The sensor will send 
continuous WUPA as described in chapter “actuator test”.  
To check no loss of detection Tag provided by continental shall lay against the DHS in front of 
NFC Area as describe in chapter”NFC detection area”.
