Grand Cherokee 4WD Laredo V8-4.7L (2002)
Module (ACM), the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the optional PCI radio, the
optional CD changer, the optional Automatic Zone Control Module (AZC), the shifter assembly (diesel), the optional power amplifier, the
optional adjustable pedal module, the optional rain sensor, and the optional intrusion transceiver module (export). The BCM is operational when
battery power is supplied to the module and in addition, ignition switch power is needed for ignition switched functions.
The BCM provides the following new features:
-
Full control of all exterior and interior lamps, including these features:
-
A Battery Saver automatically turns OFF all exterior and interior lamps within 8 minutes after the ignition is turned OFF, if they are not
turned OFF by the driver. This includes the front and rear reading/courtesy lamps and the cargo area dome lamp, even if they are turned
ON manually.
-
Theater-style interior lighting dims gradually when the doors are closed.
-
Interior courtesy lamp operation may be "defeated" using the dimmer control ring on the left multifunction switch.
-
Instrument panel light intensity may be maximized for daytime visibility with the head lamps or parking lights by using the dimmer control
ring on the left multifunction switch.
-
An Accessory/Sunroof Delay allows continued operation of the sunroof and the power windows after ignition-OFF. These accessories can be
operated up to 45 seconds after ignition-OFF or until door is opened.
