Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
The CTD system is an internal function of the Body Control Module (BCM) which utilizes class 2 serial data and various switch input information to
perform CTD functions. When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps. The BCM has five basic modes
(disarmed, standby, delayed, armed, and alarm) for operating the CTD system. The different modes are described below.
1. The BCM has the CTD system in a disarmed mode until the following conditions are detected:
-
Ignition key turned to the OFF position.
-
Any door open.
-
Doors locked by either the power door lock switch or the LOCK button on the transmitter.
2. The BCM enters the standby mode when the above conditions are detected. In standby mode, the BCM commands the theft LED to flash quickly.
If all the doors are closed and the LOCK button on the transmitter is used, the BCM enters the delayed mode.
3. When the last door is closed, the BCM enters the delayed mode for 30 seconds. In delayed mode the BCM commands the theft LED to illuminate
ON steady.
4. After 30 seconds, the BCM enters the armed mode. In armed mode, the BCM commands the theft LED to flash slowly. Any forced entry activates
the alarm mode.
5. When the BCM detects a forced entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM activates the horns and exterior lamps for 30 seconds. This is
followed by a three minute time-out with the horn no longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not active.The
system must be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the system to exit alarm mode.
6. There is an arm simulate mode that occurs when the LED will flash continuously after 60 seconds when a the last door is closed without an arming
CTD request.
