Engine Controls - Tests W/Codes - Body Control Computer: Description
The body control computer system consists of a combination of modules that communicate over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus system. Through the CCD bus, information related to the operation of vehicle components and circuits is relayed to the appropriate system module(s). Each module receives the same information about a component. This reduces the complexity of vehicle wiring and size of wiring harness.
Body control computer systems covered in this article and BODY CONTROL COMPUTER TESTS are as follows: Automatic Door Locks (ADL), chime functions, compass/temperature module, courtesy lights, door ajar system, Electronic Instrument Cluster, Electronic Vehicle Information Center (ERIC), headlight time delay, illuminated entry system, Infinity radio, intermittent wipers, (ignition) key-in light system, Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) warning lights, message center, Overhead Travel Information System (OTIS), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, traveler module and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
Body Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are accessed through CCD bus Data Link Connector (DLC) using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool or generic scan tool. DLC is a 6-pin connector located behind fuse access cover. See Fig 1.
