The body control module (BCM) receives a discrete input from the respective jamb switch to indicate the status of the door. The BCM then communicates this status to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via a serial data message. The IPC, upon receipt of this serial data message, will illuminate the appropriate ajar message in the driver information center (DIC) and also send a serial data massage to the radio to activate the door ajar audible warning when the transmission is removed from PARK and the vehicle speed is greater then 8 km/h (5 mph).
The door ajar switches supply a ground to the BCM when the door is open. Once the door is closed the door ajar switch opens, removing the ground to the BCM. The BCM sends a signal to the IPC to turn on the door ajar light when a door is open.
