This vehicle is equipped with a body control module (BCM)
that performs multiple body control functions. The following vehicle systems
are controlled by the BCM:
| - | Key in the ignition reminder |
| - | Fasten seat belt reminder |
| - | Driver information reminder |
| - | Feature customization and diagnostics mode indication |
| - | Auxiliary chime functions (Instrument cluster) |
| - | Last door closed locking reminder |
| • | Inadvertent load monitoring |
| • | Fasten seat belt indicator control |
| • | Interior light illumination |
| • | Power door locks functions |
| • | Keyless entry system functions (with AU0) |
| • | Retained Accessory Power (RAP) |
| • | Content theft deterrent system (with UA6) |
These systems are controlled by the BCM's outputs. The BCM controls
its outputs based upon input information obtained from the sensors and
switches that are directly connected to the BCM. The BCM evaluates
the input information and controls the body systems by commanding
an output on or off.
BCM Identification
This vehicle is equipped with 1 of 3 types of BCMs. The BCM type installed
on this vehicle is based on the vehicle equipment, point of sale, and option
content.
Refer to
On-Board Diagnostic Features
for more information on how to identify the BCM type installed by using the
on-board diagnostic feature. The following identifies the functions and basic
option content of all 3 BCM types:
