The first press DOWN requests rear axle to be locked, every other press DOWN toggles between &#8220;front and rear axle lock&#8221; and &#8220;rear axle lock&#8221; request states. Press rocker switch UP requests both axles to be unlocked. The switch is on the IP in the switch bank. The switch bank sends a message to the Cabin Cluster Node (CCN). The CCN handles the switch debounce and switch diagnostics. Any one message sent by the CCN on the network is a valid switch change. The CCN passes the information to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) via a CAN B message. The TIPM will process the switch info received from CAN B, control the outputs as required by the Axle Lock Electrical Requirements, and send a lighting request to the CCN via CAN B. There are three telltales on the cluster, &#8220;Rear&#8221;, &#8220;Front&#8221;, and &#8220;Lock&#8221;. The telltales will be off if the axles are unlocked, flashing if there is a pending request to lock but the axles are not yet locked (transition to lock, torque-locked, or conditions not correct), and flashing rapidly if there is a fault. The &#8220;Front&#8221; and &#8220;Rear&#8221; telltales will match the front and rear differential states. The &#8220;Lock&#8221; telltale will be on solid if either the &#8220;Front&#8221; or &#8220;Rear&#8221; telltale is on or blinking.
