The body control system consists of three modules and their
associated electrical controls. These modules are as follows:
• | The dash integration module (DIM), located on the right hand side
of the instrument panel, near the blower motor. |
• | The instrument panel integration module (IPM), located in the
center of the instrument panel, above the radio. |
• | The rear integration module (RIM), located on the right hand rear
of the passenger compartment, behind the rear seat. |
Each module integrates input and output controls for two or more functional
areas. The inputs and outputs are wired to the closest module to minimize
the lenth and amount of the wiring used. All three modules communicate on
the Class 2 serial data line, allowing data to be shared among them,
as well as with other Class 2 modules on the vehicle as needed.
