The ID.4 Electrical System Introduction


The MEB (Modular Electric Baukasten (Drive)) is a completely new platform for the Volkswagen Group. This required a fresh look at vehicle the electrical system
architecture and how it could be designed. In addition, this electrical system needed to be integrated with the high-voltage electrical system of the vehicle. As
a result, there are many redesigned and new electrical technologies implemented in the Volkswagen ID.4.

This SSP covers the networking and electrical systems for the Volkswagen ID.4. These systems condense multiple control modules into single physical modules
while using new and faster communication protocols.

The ID.4 has new and extensive high speed communication channels with speeds that range between 500 kbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. These high-speed networks rely on
the processing power of two new control modules, J533 (iCAS1) and J794 (ICAS3). ICAS stands for In-Car Application Server. Although J533 and J794 have been
used in previous vehicles, the functions of these control modules have drastically changed.

iCAS Description
ICAS (In-Car Application Server) modules are central computers/servers that bring together many basic services and vehicle functions to control the vehicle
systems. Computing tasks by other control modules may be performed in the ICAS instead of in the separate modules. This reduces the number of control
modules. Distributed functions (multiple control units responsible for a single function) will be centralized.

ICAS technology is needed for autonomous driving and for software update processes. Neither a dealer visit nor vehicle diagnostic tester are required for
software updates. Updates are downloaded incrementally using CAR-Net. When the software download is complete and ready to install, vehicle owners
receive a prompt on the ID.Cockpit.

iCAS1 and iCAS3 - Modules, Functions and Addresses


The J533 Data Bus on Board Diagnostic Interface (19) inside of ICAS1 has been significantly redesigned and has more functions than before. It has a high-
performance microprocessor that has been internally divided into 4 partitions. Each partition has it’s own diagnostic address.

Because the diagnostic processor (19) CAN transceiver cannot operate more than 8 processors, an additional CAN transceiver was added for the MFL and AFS
CAN.

The ICAS3 processor is divided into 2 partitions. One partition (5F information electronics 1) includes all functions that should be available to the customer as
soon as possible when starting. The second partition is the IVI or “in-vehicle infotainment” (8125 application server 3, system 1 infotainment) contains the
functions that require much more memory and computing power to ramp-up.

Immobilizer
The ID.4 has the Generation 5D Immobilizer system. The immobilizer prevents theft of the vehicle, while component protection prevents theft of components or
makes it possible to track them. The master immobilizer and master for component protection are now combined in the J533 Data Bus Diagnostic Interface.

Because the ID.4 is an electric vehicle, the J623 ECM is no longer an immobilizer component. Most of its functions have been taken over by the J841 Electric Drive
Control Module.

Energy Management < Back Forward > Ξ Contents

Distribution of Functions
The J533 Data Bus on Board Diagnostic Interface controls several vehicle functions, including high-voltage energy management and low-voltage energy
management. These functions are responsible for the energy management in both circuits. Their interaction ensures that the vehicle is ready to start. The
energy requirements of the individual electrical consumers are prioritized. If necessary, certain consumers are switched off or their performance is reduced.

The 12V on-board electrical system is supplied with energy from the high-voltage electrical system. The energy requirement for the 12V electrical system is
always has top priority for high-voltage energy management since the 12V electrical system must have enough voltage in order to operate the high-voltage
system. The 12V electrical system is always supported by the DC/DC converter as soon as the high-voltage system is active.

Energy Management < Back Forward > Ξ Contents

Low-voltage Power Supply


The A19 Voltage Converter (also known as the DC/DC converter) is the interface of the high-voltage and low-voltage energy management. It converts high-voltage
direct voltage into low-voltage direct voltage for the 12V electrical system. This means it is an electrical consumer in the high-voltage system and also acts as a
power source for the 12V electrical system. The voltage in the low-voltage electrical system can be up to 15.5 V when the A19 is active. The low-voltage electrical
system is only supplied with energy when the high-voltage battery power contactors are closed (high-voltage system is activated).

The DC/DC converter is controlled by the low-voltage energy management in the J533 Data Bus on Board Diagnostic Interface. The J533 receives information about
the current state of the low-voltage electrical system and the 12V battery from the J367 Battery Monitoring Control Module across the LIN-Bus. Depending on the
energy requirement in the low-voltage electrical system, the low-voltage management system requests a certain voltage from the voltage converter. The aim of
low-voltage energy management system is to maintain the 12V battery charge level at 90%. When a charge level of 90% is reached, the 12V battery is no longer
charged. In other words, the requested voltage is selected so that the battery is neither charged nor discharged (zero current regulation).

High-Voltage Energy Management


The A19 Voltage Converter always has the highest priority in energy management. Next in line is climate control. The climate control requests are the next
highest level of priority. If the charge level of the high-voltage battery becomes very low, the occupants are warned.

Special prioritization takes place in the following cases:

• The high-voltage battery has to be cooled: the climate control request of the occupants is given lower priority
• The driver has activated the maximum defrost function touch button: all other climate control requests are given lower priority
• High-voltage battery charging: only power that cannot be charged to the battery or is not used for battery cooling is made available for the interior climate
control. For example, interior climate control may be restricted when the battery has to be heated in cold weather. Charging infrastructure also has an
impact.

Starting the Vehicle


The terminal control in the MEB is controlled by the
Vehicle Unlocked / Driver Seat Not Occupied J533 Data Bus on Board Diagnostic Interface (ICAS1)
and the J519 Vehicle Electrical System Control Module.
The J533 performs the master function and J519 is
responsible for reading out the ignition and starter
button, and for activating the terminal 15 relay.

A new terminal state called “Comfort Ready” allows


Comfort Ready: Ignition off, air conditioning active the driver to operate the infotainment system and the
PARK infotainment active
air conditioning in the vehicle even when the ignition
is off. It is activated when the seat occupied sensor
detects a person in the driver’s seat. The ignition key
does not have to be in the vehicle. The high-voltage
+ + circuit connects upon activation.

The ignition can be activated using either the ignition/


start button or by pressing the brake pedal (with a key
Ignition switched on PARK in the vehicle). The display in the instrument cluster
switches to the standard view. In addition, all of the
control displays are shown briefly. The word PARK

+ + informs the driver that the parking brake is active.

To prepare the vehicle for driving, the driver needs


to press the brake pedal and select a gear. The word
READY will then appear in the instrument cluster.

In addition, there are three options for automatically turning off the ignition. The following conditions must be met for this purpose:

• Driver’s seat belt unfastened, driver seat unoccupied and driver door open
• Driver’s seat belt unfastened, driver seat unoccupied and vehicle is locked
• No diagnosis active and driver seat unoccupied for more than 30 minutes

The Comfort Ready state ends if one of the following conditions is met:

• Driver’s seat belt unfastened, driver seat unoccupied and driver door open
• Vehicle is locked
• Comfort Ready active for more than 60 minutes

In addition to the listed conditions, the energy management system can also turn off the ignition

Functional Overview (this information correlates to the previous page)

Communication sequence for vehicle access:

1A J965 Access/Start System Interface monitors the access/start system antennas to detect a key within range, such as contact with one of the two
capacitive door handle sensors. The key identification is sent via the LF aerials (125 kHz, low frequency). At the same time, the J519 Vehicle Electrical
System Control Module is woken up through a discrete line.
1B Response 1 of the key (ID sender) is sent to the J519 by UHF (315 MHz North American Region)
1C Because the J519 only has the UHF transceiver but is not the master for access approval, it sends the signals as CAN messages via CAN-Connectivity to
the access master, ICAS1.
2A Request from ICAS1 to the J519 to signal the key to send additional identification data, including the information to be requested of the RSAD control
units (J1192-J1195) through CAN.
2B The J519 forwards the request to the ID sender/key (UHF).
2C Request by the key RSAD control modules for identification and individual location data (UWB).
2D Response of the RSAD control modules to the key with identification and individual location data (UWB). The RSAD control modules also transmit this
data redundantly to ICAS1.
2E Response 2 by the key sent to the J519 with all identification and individual location data location data (UHF)
2F The J519 transmits the signals via CAN messages on CAN-Connectivity to the access master, ICAS1. The data is then verified by ICAS1 (including the
reference data of the RSAD control modules through CAN). The data and signal times are verified through CAN in real time by ICAS1, including the
reference data for the Burglary Protection Control Modules. Key responses must occur in the time it would take if the key were physically located in
the action areas of the vehicle.
2G If the calculation in ICAS1 is successful, the unlock command is sent via Convenience-CAN to the front door control module, as well as to the J519 for
deactivating the closing modules of the rear doors.

All display data is controlled via Ethernet connection from the ICAS1 to the ICAS3 to visualize the Keyless Access information and settings on the center display
and the dash panel insert.

J794 Information Electronics Control Module 1 (ICAS3)


The ID.4 uses the latest generation of the Volkswagen infotainment system. The information electronics control module is one of the two high-performance
computers in the vehicle. This component is often referred to as ICAS3. ICAS stands for In Car Application Server. This means that the hardware in the module
is used by multiple virtual control modules. In the case of the ICAS3, these are the control modules with diagnostic addresses 5F and 8125. The functions and
services are performed based on the following conditions:

• Time required to start the function


• Required computing power
• Data-Bus connection

For example, functions that are required immediately after entering the vehicle are combined in a virtual control module. Functions that require a high
computing power and that are not required immediately after entering the vehicle are combined in the second virtual control module. This results in two
diagnostic addresses in the vehicle diagnostic tester.

The 1 Gbit/s ethernet connection ensures rapid data transmission to the second high-performance computer in the vehicle (J533 or ICAS1).
