Body Control Module

The body control module (BCM) supplies vehicle occupants with visual and audible information and controls various vehicle functions. To provide and receive information, the module is interfaced to the vehicle's serial bus communications network (the Programmable Communication Interface or PCI bus). This network consists of the body control module (BCM), powertrain control module (PCM), sentry key immobilizer module (SKIM), the electro/mechanical instrument cluster (MIC), compass/mini-trip computer (CMTC), airbag control module (ORC), optional antilock brakes (ABS), the optional automatic temperature control module, the optional radio, the optional satellite radio receiver and remote CD-player. The (BCM) is operational when battery power is supplied to the module, ignition switch power is needed for ignition 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

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 A/C switch status and the VTSS status.

The JR has several customer programmable features which can be disabled or enabled by the customer.
