    • Power door lock switches.
    • Left front, right front and liftgate door lock cylinders.
    • Left front, right front and liftgate door ajar switches.
    • Sliding door jamb switch.
    • Driver's seat belt switch.
    • Headlights OFF switch.
    • Glove box light switch.
    • Keyless entry requests for door lock/unlock or alarm (BCM-4).
    • Shock sensor.
    • Sunshade illuminated mirrors.
    • Turn signal switch.

BCM will perform output tests in numerical order. To move to next test, cycle instrument panel dimmer switch from DOME position to off, then back to DOME position. BCM will sound a chime to indicate which test is being performed.
