WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the Power Mode Master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the BCM. The PMM receives 2 signals from the ignition switch.
To determine the correct power mode the PMM uses the following circuits:
- Accessory voltage
- Ignition 1 voltage
