Which sub-component of the DFCS allows you to toggle between Off, Aux, Comm, and DFCS?

The ability to toggle between Off, Aux, Comm, and DFCS is handled by the Improved Power Conditioning Control Module. This module houses the switch and logic that routes power and control signals to the DFCS, enabling the system to be completely powered down, or set to auxiliary power, communications, or the full DFCS operating mode. It coordinates power sequencing and ensures the right voltage and enable signals are present for each mode, which is why it’s the component chosen to perform that mode switching. The other components provide power conditioning (the main power unit), display/control interfaces, or adapters, but they do not manage the mode-selection function for the DFCS.
