bus). This network consists of the body control module (BCM), powertrain control module (PCM), sentry key immobilizer module (SKIM), the
transmission control module (TCM), the electro/mechanical instrument cluster (MIC), compass/mini-trip computer (CMTC), occupant restraint

switched functions.
The body control module provides the following features:
A/C switch status/evaporator temperature status
BCM diagnostic support
Central lock and unlock (VTSS only)
Climate Control system support
Door ajar switch status
Door Lock Inhibit (key in ignition or headlamps/park lamps on)
Electronic Odometer Support
Headlamp Time Delay
Illuminated Entry with "fade to off
Interior lighting with battery save feature
Mechanical Instrument Cluster (fuel level, dim data, odometer & warning chime) support
Travel information system
Power convertible top
Power door lock multiplexing control
Rear Window Defogger Control
Remote Keyless Entry with Panic Mode
Remote power deck lid release
Rolling door lock control (customer programmable)
Sentry key immobilizer support
Vehicle Theft Security System
Wiper Control (speed sensitive with return to park)
The BCM receives information over the PCI Bus from the PCM in order to support certain features.
The required information is as follows:
-
Engine RPM
-
Engine Temperature
-
Injector on Time and Distance Pulses
-
Vehicle Speed
-
Charging System Failure, Engine Temperature Limp-In, VTSS Arming Status
-
Engine Model
-
"Check Engine" lamp status
The BCM provides the PCM with information on the NC switch status and the VTSS status.
The JR has several customer programmable features which can be disabled or enabled by the customer.
Power Convertible Top
TOP CONTROL
The body control module now controls all the functions of the convertible top. The body control module supplies a multiplexed voltage of approximately
90% of ignition voltage to the power top switch. Through a series of resistors the power top switch switches the circuit to ground depending on the
position of the switch. The BCM then supplies the ground path for the up or down relay as requested. The power top switch has a 4.7 K-ohm diagnostic
resistor that allows the BCM to detect a possible open circuit.
WINDOW DROP RELAY ASSEMBLY
The convertible has a new feature that allows the operator to lower all four windows and lower the top at the same time. This is accomplished by
pressing the power top switch to the second detent. Through the multiplexed circuit of the power top switch the BCM will supply the ground for the
window drop relay assembly.
The window drop relay assembly is comprised of four separate relays that are in series with the power window circuits. The relay assembly is located in
the driver door.
Compass/Mini-Trip Computer
The JR Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is located in the instrument panel between the center A/C outlets. The CMTC has two function buttons
and a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display that provides the outside temperature, Trip Computer information, and one of eight compass headings to indicate
the direction the vehicle is facing. The compass heading and the outside temperature are displayed at the same time.
The BCM calculates much of the information displayed by the CMTC. The BCM receives this information from PCI Bus messages, the PCM, and the
