Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BCM Functions
The Body Control Module (BCM) is capable of accomplishing multiple body control functions. Systems that are directly connected to the BCM are
controlled by the BCM's outputs. The BCM can control its outputs based upon input information it obtains from sensors and switches that are directly
connected to the BCM, or by borrowing information from other systems on the serial data link. The BCM evaluates this information and controls certain
body systems by commanding an output on or off. The BCM is also capable of commanding other systems to control functions that are not directly wired
and/or controlled by the BCM. The BCM accomplishes this by sending specific messages on the serial data link. The system capable of performing this
function will respond to the message.
The BCM is capable of performing the following functions:
