BODY CONTROL MODULE HAVING FUNCTION OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a body control module for an automotive vehicle. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide the body control module (BCM) which can minimize an increase in production costs and lower a vehicle price by integrating an electronic control unit (ECU) in a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and functions of an RF reception module to have a tire pressure monitoring system built in the vehicle. Accordingly, the body control module for an automotive vehicle controlling the vehicle according to the RF signal received from the RF receiver comprises: the RF signal transmitted from a TPMS sensor attached to a tire of the vehicle; and an integrated RF reception module receiving the RF signal transmitted by the RF receptor. Disclosed is the body control module having integrated functions of TPMS which processes signals of a TPMS sensor received through the RF reception module and signals transmitted to the RF receptor selectively according to the vehicle power conditions and performs selectively a tire monitoring function and an alarm function according to signals of the TPMS sensor and a vehicle control function according to the signal of the RF receptor.
