Circuit Description

The Body Control Module (BCM) receives the input from the Traction Control Switch, the BCM then sends a class 2 message to the EBCM telling the EBCM the state of the switch. The BCM supplies 12 volts to the TCS switch, when the TCS switch is depressed the BCM sees the voltage go low and sends the EBCM the message that the TCS switch state has changed. When the EBCM receives the message from the BCM that the switch state has changed it turns on or off Traction Control depending on its previous state.
