The body control system consists of a BCM and it's associated
controls. Battery positive voltage is provided to the BCM from BFC/BATT fuse
in the left hand Instrument panel fuse block. The module ground is wired
to ground G202. The BCM utilizes inputs Ignition 0, Ignition 1 and Ignition
3 to differentiate the power mode that the ignition switch has bean placed
in. The BCM is wired to the Class 2 serial data communication bus
as well as discreet input and output terminals to control the functions
of the vehicles body . The various BCM input and output circuits are described
in the corresponding functional areas indicated on the BCM electrical schematics.
The Body Control Module functions include the following.
• | Serial Data Communications |
- | Class 2 Serial Data Communications |
- | Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) |
• | Remote Function Control |
• | Exterior and interior lighting control |
- | Daytime running lights (DRL) |
- | Automatic lighting control |
• | Battery rundown protection (Inadvertent Power) |
• | Instrument cluster indicator control |
• | Engine coolant level sensing |
• | Washer solvent level sensing |
• | Key-in-ignition sensing |
• | Brake fluid level sensing |
• | Parking brake state sensing |
• | Rear compartment interface |
Data Line Communications
The BCM communicates on the following 2 separate data lines:
• | Class 2 serial data comminutions |
• | Serial peripheral interface (SPI). The BCM acts as the master
between the IPC . |
