Power supply to most circuits in the vehicle is controlled by a dedicated component, the body control unit (BCM). The ignition switch is a small current switch with several discrete positions for a particular power mode. The power control unit also activates relays and other power distribution elements when necessary. The BCM determines the current power mode (off, on for additional equipment, fully on, starter on) and transmits this information to other power supplies via the data bus.
The table below shows the parameters of the various power modes depending on the position of the ignition switch:
| Ignition switch position | Diet | Ignition off/ignition on/starter on | Power for additional equipment/engine running | Engine running/starter on |
| Off (Off) Key removed | Bull. | Key removed/additional equipment | Inactive | Inactive |
| Off (Off) Key inserted | Off. | Key in/off | Inactive | Inactive |
| Accessory (additional equipment) | Additional equipment | Key removed/additional equipment | Actively | Inactive |
| Run (the engine is running) | The engine is running | The engine is running | Actively | Actively |
| Start (crankshaft rotation by starter) | The crankshaft rotates | The crankshaft rotates | Inactive | Actively |
