Body Control Computer
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Plymouth Breeze, 1996 Dodge Stratus, and 1996 Chrysler Cirrus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Body Control Module (BCM), is part of junction block, located under left side of instrument panel. BCM stores odometer information for electronic instrument cluster display and provides power and ground for a variety of systems.
BCM is the only module that has the capability of providing both "bias" and "termination" on the CCD bus system. See CCD BUS SYSTEM. Systems are monitored by BCM through voltage drops.
Vehicle may be equipped with either a premium or base model BCM. Base body control computer is used on vehicles with a mechanical instrument cluster.
Premium BCM is used on vehicles with a trunk ajar switch.
