Stratus L4-2.4L DOHC (1995)
Body Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The Body Control Module (BCM) is used to supply the vehicles occupants with visual and audible information, control various vehicle functions, and
provide a centralized power distribution for the passenger compartment. To both provide and receive vehicle information the BCM is interfaced to the
CCD Bus.
Power for the BCM is supplied from four sources. One is the M1 circuit. This circuit is HOT at all times, and is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) circuit.
This circuit is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in cavity 5 of the junction block.
Power is also supplied to the BCM on circuit A21. This circuit is HOT when the ignition switch is in the RUN position only and connects from the
ignition switch to the BCM. Power for the A21 circuit is supplied by circuit A1. Circuit A1 is connected between the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
and the ignition switch and is protected by a 20 amp fuse located in cavity 8 of the PDC.
Circuit F11, which is HOT when the ignition switch is in the OFF RUN/START position, supplies a constant feed to the BCM. This circuit is protected
by a 10 amp fuse located in cavity 11 of the junction block. Power for the fuse is supplied on circuit A81 from the ignition switch. Circuit A81 receives
its power from circuit A51 which originates in the PDC and is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in cavity 7.
Circuit F135 supplies power to the BCM and is protected by a 15 amp fuse located in cavity 9. Ground for the BCM is provided by circuits Z1 and Z2.
These circuits terminate at the instrument panel left side cowl.
CCD Bus interface is accomplished on circuits D1 and D2. The D1 circuit is used for Bus (+), and D2 is for Bus (-).
