Body Control Module(BCM) : Operation & Functions

System Operation
9-3
The body control system consists of the body control module (BCM),
communications, and various input and outputs. Some inputs, outputs C140/145 :
and messages require other modules to interact with the BCM. The BCM BCM
also has discrete input and output terminals to control the vehicle's body
functions. Battery positive voltage is provided to the BCM from the BCM Instructor Guide
fuse in the engine room fuse block.
The BCM is wired to the GMLAN High speed serial data buss and the
GMLAN Low speed serial data buss and acts as a gateway between
them. If the BCM does not communicate, the vehicle will not start due to
the inability of the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Vehicle Theft
Deterrent (VTD) Control Module to communicate without the BCM
providing the gateway function.

Power Mode Master function

The one of main BCM functions is the power mode master (PMM). The
ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch
signals to the PMM for determination the power mode that will be sent
over the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this
information, and so the PMM will activate relays and other direct
outputs of the PMM as needed.
The below PMM Power Mode Parameters table illustrates the correct
state of these input parameters (circuits) in correspondence to the ignition
switch position :

Body Control Module(BCM) : Functions

Serial Data Power Mode Master function 9-4

Power to many of this vehicle’s circuits are controlled by the module that C140/145 :
is designated the power mode master (PMM). BCM
This vehicle’s PMM is the body control module (BCM). The ignition
switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch Instructor Guide
signals
to the PMM for determination of the power mode that will be sent over
the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this information.
The PMM will also activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM
as
needed. The PMM determines which power mode (Off, Accessory, Run,
Crank Request) is required, and reports this information to other
modules via serial data. Modules which have switched voltage inputs
may operate in a default mode if the PMM serial data message does
not match what the individual module can see from its own
connections.
BCM Awake / Sleep States function
The PMM receives ignition switch signals to identify the operators
The bodypower
desired control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the
mode.
BCM functions in the awake state. The BCM enters the sleep state when
active control or normal monitoring of system functions has stopped and
a time limit has passed. The BCM must detect certain wake–up inputs
before entering the awake state. The BCM monitors for these inputs
during the sleep state.
The BCM will enter the awake state if any of the following wake–up
inputs are detected :
1) Activity on the serial data line.
2) Detection of a battery reconnect.
3) Any door open signal.
4) Headlamps ON.
5) Key–in–ignition.
6) Ignition ON.
7) Park lamps ON.
8) Keyless entry message.
The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions
exist :
1) The ignition switch is OFF, key out.
2) No activity exists on the serial data line.
3) No outputs are commanded.
4) No delay timers are actively counting.
5) No wake–up inputs are present.
If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep
condition.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Functions

Gateway function 9-5

The BCM in this vehicle has a gateway or translator function. C140/145 :
The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between BCM
the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss for
communication between the various modules. Instructor Guide
The gateway will interact with each network according to that network’s
transmission protocol. One example of this necessary communication is
the communication between the Engine Control Module (ECM) which is
high speed serial data and Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Control Module
which is low speed serial data. If these modules can not exchange
information, the vehicle will not start.
All communication between the BCM and a scan tool is on the High
speed
GMLAN serial data circuits. A lost communication DTC typically is set in
modules other than the module with a communication failure.

Body Control Module(BCM) : Theft Deterrent System
 General Description of Theft Deterrent System
9-9
The theft deterrent system on this vehicle is comprised of 2 separate
systems, the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) System and the Content C140/145 :
Theft Deterrent (CTD) System. VTD prevents drive away theft by BCM
keeping the vehicle from starting. CTD is the vehicle alarm system which
discourages unauthorized entry into the vehicle. Instructor Guide

 Security Indicator
The security indicator in the clock is controlled by the CTD System.
The security indicator is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via
a discrete output.
   • The CTD system, integral to the BCM, controls the security indicator
in the clock only when the ignition switch is OFF. The CTD system
uses the indicator to identify system status.

Security indicator for CTD

The security indicator in the IPC is controlled by the VTD System.

The security indicator is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via
a discrete output.
The vehicle theft deterrent system (VTD) can command the instrument
panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the security indicator only when the
ignition key is in the ON position. The BCM will command the security
indicator be illuminated any time a fault is noted in the VTD system and
when engine starting is disabled.

Security indicator

Body Control Module(BCM) : Content Theft Deterrent system

2. Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system

9-10
The content theft deterrent (CTD) system, when armed, is designed to
deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for C140/145 :
approximately 28 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is BCM
detected. However, the CTD System does not affect engine starting.
An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the CTD System Instructor Guide
armed:
   • When the rear compartment has been opened without the use of the
keyless entry system.
   • When any door is opened without being unlocked using the keyless
entry transmitter.
The components of the system are:
   • The body control module
   • The door ajar switches
   • The rear compartment lid ajar switch

1) Arming the CTD System

Important: The content theft deterrent (CTD) system can be armed with
the windows top or open.
Use the following procedure in order to arm the system:
1. Turn OFF and the ignition key out.
2. Exit the vehicle.
Important: The system is armed if the doors are locked manually as well
as the remote keyless entry transmitter is used.
3. Lock the driver door with the LOCK button on the transmitter. The
system is in arm pending mode and will not start the arming timer until
all doors are closed. The security indicator will flash quickly; the CTD
system is in the open state at this point. The CTD system transmits to
the locked state when the final door is closed. The security indicator
will
illuminate steady when in the locked state. If the LOCK button is
pressed after the vehicle doors have been closed, the open state will
be bypassed and the system will transmit directly to the locked state
with the indicator on steady.
4. The system will arm approximately 30 seconds from the time that the
system has entered the locked state. When the indicator transits to
flashing slowly, the system is armed. Alternately, if the LOCK button on
the keyless entry transmitter is pressed a second time, the system will
arm immediately, bypassing the 30 second delay.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Content Theft Deterrent system

2) Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm 9-11

If system arming has been requested by the keyless entry transmitter, C140/145 :
and manual unlocking, it must be disarmed. BCM
To disarm the CTD system perform, one of the following :
1. Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter. Instructor Guide
2. Manually unlocking the doors.
3. Insert a valid key into the ignition and start the vehicle

3) Body Control Module (BCM)

The CTD system is an internal function of the body control module

(BCM) which utilizes serial data and various switch inputs to perform
CTD functions. When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, it
activates the horns and exterior lamps.
If after 10 seconds the unauthorized entry still exists, the BCM will
transit to the alarm mode.
The horn and lamps will pulse for 28 seconds. Following the 28-second
alarm period is a 5-second time-out. The system will then re-arm.

4) Door Ajar Switches

The CTD system uses the door ajar switches in the door jambs as one
method to activate the alarm. The BCM monitors all door ajar switches
via a discrete input from each door ajar switch. If the BCM receives a
ground signal from a door ajar switch when the CTD system is armed,
the BCM activates the alarm

5) Inputs & Outputs

The BCM monitors the following inputs :

   • The driver and passenger door ajar switches
   • The rear compartment lid ajar switch
   • The transmitter LOCK/UNLOCK buttons; an internal function of the
BCM
   • The Passkey status--The BCM uses the Passkey status for disarming
the system or silencing and alarm when the correct vehicle key is
used to start the vehicle.

The BCM controls the following:

   • The horn relay
   • The exterior lights
Body Control Module(BCM) :Vehicle Theft Deterrent
system
3. Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system(Immobilizer)
9-12
The vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system functions are provided by the
Passkey3+ Module (PK3+) and the engine control module(ECM). C140/145 :
When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the BCM
ignition is switched ON, the transponder embedded in the head of the
Instructor Guide
key is energized by the exciter coil surrounding the ignition lock cylinder.
This exciter coil is part of the PK3+module. The energized transponder
transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the
PK3+ module. The PK3+ module then compares this value to a value
stored in memory.
If the values match, the PK3+ module will send the fuel enable password
via the serial data circuit to the ECM. If the transponders unique value is
incorrect, the PK3+ module will send the fuel disable password to the
ECM.
It is important to note that while it is referred to as the fuel enable/disable
password, the vehicles starter may also be disabled, preventing engine
cranking.
When the ECM receives the PK3+ module fuel enable password, the
ECM will challenge the password. The ECM sends this challenge back to
the PK3+ module via the serial data circuit. Both the ECM and PK3+
module perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated
response from the PK3+ module equals the calculation performed by the
ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting.

The components of the VTD system are as follows:

   • Passkey3+ Module (PK3+)
   • Engine Control Module (ECM)
   • Ignition key (Transponder)
   • Security indicator in IPC

[ Passkey3+ Module ]
Body Control Module(BCM) :Vehicle Theft Deterrent
system
1) Passkey3+ Module (PK3+)
9-13
Vehicles with steering column mounted ignition switches have the
C140/145 :
exciter integral with the Passkey3+ Module (PK3+), which is located
BCM
within the steering column.
The PK3+ module can learn up to 10 keys (transponder values). Instructor Guide
The PK3+ module uses the following inputs: battery voltage, ignition
switched voltage and ground circuit. The PK3+ module uses the
following outputs: password exchange and challenge/response with the
engine control module (ECM).

The PK3+ module then performs one of the following functions:

   • If the transponder value matches the values stored in the PK3+
module memory, the PK3 + module will send the fuel enable
message to the ECM via the serial data circuit.
   • If the transponders unique value does not match the value stored in
the PK3+ module , the PK3+ module will send the fuel disable
message to the ECM via the serial data circuit.
   • If the PK3+ module is unable to measure the ignition key
transponder
value, the PK3+ module will not send any messages to the ECM.

2) Engine Control Module (ECM)

When the engine control module (ECM) receives the PK3+ module fuel
enable password, the ECM will challenge the password. The ECM sends
this challenge back to the PK3+ module via the serial data circuit. Both
the ECM and PK3+ module perform a calculation on this challenge.
If the calculated response from the PK3+ module equals the calculation
performed by the ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting.

The ECM will disable vehicle starting if any of the following conditions
occur:
   • The fuel enable password is invalid.
   • The fuel disable password is sent by the PK3+ module .
   • No passwords are received
• There is no communication with the PK3+ module .
   • The PK3+ module calculated response to the challenge does not
equal the calculation performed by the ECM.

3) The Ignition Key (Transponder)
9-14
The ignition key for Passkey equipped vehicles is a standard ignition key
C140/145 :
with a transponder located in the plastic head of the key.
BCM
The transponder value is fixed and unable to be changed. The vehicle
theft deterrent (VTD) system uses the ignition key transponder value to Instructor Guide
determine if a valid ignition key is being used to start the vehicle. There
are approximately 3 trillion possible transponder values. There are no
visible electrical contacts.

VTD systems use the following types of ignition keys:

 Master Keys
Master keys have a black plastic head for full access operation of the
vehicle. Master keys may perform the following functions:
   • Start the vehicle.
   • Lock/unlock all of the door locks and Lift gate
(Including fuel filler door).
   • Open lift gate glass.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Exterior Lighting Systems
4. Exterior Lighting Systems
9-15
Exterior Lamps :The exterior lighting consist of the following lamps:
   • Headlamps     •  Fog Lamps C140/145 :
   • Park Lamps     • Tail Lamps BCM
   • License Lamps     • Turn Signal Lamps    
• Stop Lamps    • Backup Lamps Instructor Guide

1) Headlamps
You can use the headlamps two different ways.
   • Place the headlamp switch in the HEAD position for normal
operations
   • Place the headlamp switch in the AUTO position for automatic lamp
control (ALC) operation. During ALC the low beam headlamps are ON
for daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, the
low beam headlamps is ON at full intensity with exterior park lamps
ON in low light conditions.
The body control module (BCM) applies a pulse width modulated (PWM)
voltage to the headlamp module and high beam relay in the engine room
fuse block.
For normal manual low beam operation when the headlamp switch is
place in the HEAD position, ground from GX201 is applied through the
headlamp switch and to the BCM through the headlamp switch
headlamps ON signal circuit. The BCM then applies a PWM voltage to
the headlamp module/high beam relay voltage supply circuit. The
headlamp module then applies battery positive voltage through the left
front (LF) and right front (RF) LO Beam fuses to the left and right low
beam headlamps.
For high beam operation, ground is applied at all times to the headlamp
dimmer switch from GX201. When the headlamp dimmer switch is
placed in the HIGH position, ground is then applied through the
headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then
applies a ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit.
The BCM then sends a message through the single wire CAN(low
speed) to the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the high beam
indicator lamp. If the headlamp switch is in the HEAD position, the
inadvertent power control feature will turn OFF the headlamps after
10 minutes after you turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Exterior Lighting Systems

2) Lights ON Warning
9-16
The body control module (BCM) activates the lights ON warning as
C140/145 :
requested by the headlamp dimmer switch. The lights ON warning
BCM
sounds when the following occurs:
   • The key is out of the ignition. Instructor Guide
   • The BCM determines that the drivers door is open, signal is low.
   • The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the PARK or
HEAD position

3) Daytime Running Light (DRL)

The ambient light sensor is a light-sensitive transistor that varies its
voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes
in the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal
the
BCM either turns ON the just the low beam headlamps at full intensity for
the daytime running light (DRL) operation or turns ON the low beam
headlamps and the exterior lamps for automatic lamp control (ALC).
Any function or condition that turns ON the headlamps will cancel the
DRL operation.
When these conditions are met and the DRL ambient light sensor
indicates daylight conditions the DRL will illuminate.
4) Fog Lamps
The FOG lamps fuse in the engine fuse block supplies battery positive
voltage to both the coil and switch side of the FOG lamp relay.
When the fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied
from GX201 through the fog lamp switch to the body control module(BCM).
The BCM then applies a ground to the fog lamp relay control circuit.
This energizes the FOG lamp relay and applies battery positive voltage
through the fog lamp voltage supply circuit to the left and right fog lamps
. Ground is applied at all times to the left fog lamp from GX101 and to the
right fog lamp from GX102. The park lamps must be ON in order for the
front fog lamps to illuminate but in order to illuminate the rear fog lamps,
the head lamp switch is ON and front fog lamps are operation.
Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned
OFF. When the park lamps are turned ON, the BCM sends a a message
through the single wire CAN(low speed) to the instrument panel cluster
(IPC) to illuminate the fog lamp Indicator.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Exterior Lighting Systems

5) Park, Tail and License Lamps 9-17

The left park lamp and right park lamp fuses in the engine fuse block C140/145 :
applies battery positive voltage to both the coil and switch side of the BCM
PARK LAMP Relay. The park lamp switch on signal circuit is grounded
when the head lamp switch is in the head, park or auto position for low Instructor Guide
light operation. When the BCM receives the ground input from the park
lamp switch on signal circuit the BCM then applies ground to the park
lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the Park Lamp Relay, applying
battery positive voltage to all the park, tail and license lamps.

6) Remote Keyless Entry Exterior Lamp Illumination

When the remote function actuation (RFA) module receives a door

unlock command from the remote function actuator transmitter, the RFA
module will ground the door unlock signal to the body control module
(BCM), then send a signal to the BCM indicating that an UNLOCK
command has been received. The BCM then will flash the turn signal
lamps twice.
With all the doors closed, and the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter
is used to lock the doors, the turn signal lamps will flash once. The park
lamps will not flash if the rear compartment is opened using the RKE
transmitter.
7) Turn Signal Lamps
The Turn /Hazard fuse in the engine fuse block supplies battery positive
voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps and
hazard lamps.
When the turn signal switch is place in either the Turn left or Turn right
position, ground is applied from GX201 through the turn signal switch to
the BCM the BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the front and
rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits.

8) Hazard Lamps
The Turn /Hazard fuse in the engine fuse block supplies
battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn
signal lamps and hazard lamps.
When the hazard switch is placed in to the ON position, the BCM then
flashes all of the turn signal lamps ON and OFF.
Body Control Module(BCM) : Exterior Lighting Systems

9) Stop Lamps
9-18
The CHMSL/Stop lamps fuse in the Engine fuse block provides battery
positive voltage to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and C140/145 :
Stop BCM
lamps.
Whenever the brake pedal is applied, the brake pedal switch applies a Instructor Guide
variable voltage signal to the BCM for brake switch monitoring through
the brake switch signal circuit.
The BCM then controls other related system with brake switch signal.
10) Backup Lamps
When the driver places the gear selector in to the REVERSE position in
Automatic Transaxle, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) sends a
GMLAN(CAN) message to the BCM but, in case of Manual Transaxle,
the ECM sends a GMLAN(CAN) message to the BCM.
The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the backup lamp supply
voltage circuit.

11) Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power

The body control module (BCM) used in this vehicle controls the lighting
system through circuits that enable both the exterior lamp functions of
park, head and fog lamps as well as the interior lamps.
The BCM opens these enabling circuits 10 minutes after the ignition
switch is turned OFF with no lamp switch activity. If the ignition switch is
turned to any position other than OFF, or if a lamp switch is activated,
during this 10 minute period, the timer will reset for another 10 minutes.

1) Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine coolant
temperature as determined by the engine control module (ECM).
The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the ECM indicating the engine
coolant temperature. The IPC receives the coolant temperature
information via a GMLAN serial data message from the BCM.
The engine coolant temperature gage defaults to 60°C (140°F) or below
if:
   • The ECM detects a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature
sensor circuit.
   • The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the ECM.
   • The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the BCM.
Body Control Module(BCM) :Instrument Panel Cluster
2) Fuel Gage
9-20
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as determined
by the ECM. The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the ECM C140/145 :
indicating the fuel level percent. The BCM sends the fuel level BCM
information from the ECM to the IPC via a serial data message
indicating Instructor Guide
the fuel level percent.
The fuel gage defaults to empty if:
   • The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
   • The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the ECM.
   • The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the BCM.
When the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value, the low fuel
indicator illuminates in the IPC.

Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip
odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer.
The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by
the IPC. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the GMLAN vehicle
speed information from the ECM. The IPC receives the odometer
information from the BCM via the GMLAN serial data circuit.

4) PRNDL Display

The IPC displays the selected gear position as determined by the TCM.
The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the TCM indicating the gear
position. The PRNDL display blanks if:
   • The ECM/PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission range switch
circuit.
   • The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the ECM.

1) Serial Data Control of Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
C140/145 :
The modules receive the power mode message from the body control BCM
module (BCM) over the serial data circuits, indicating when the retained
accessory power (RAP) power mode is current. The BCM monitors the Instructor Guide
ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment
doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated.
The modules then support the operation of the systems under their
control
as required by their RAP power mode operation. Components and
systems that are active in RAP are also activated anytime the ignition is
any position other than OFF.

RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met :

: 1) The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any
compartment door after the ignition key is out of the ignition.

Body Control Module(BCM) :Wiper/Washer System

9. Wiper/Washer System
9-31
The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
C140/145 :
   • Windshield wiper/washer switch
BCM
   • Body control module (BCM)
   • Wiper control relay Instructor Guide
   • Wiper speed relay
   • Windshield wiper motor
   • Windshield washer pump
   • Windshield washer pump relay
   • Wiper fuse 25 A
   • Windshield Washer fuse 10 A
1) Low Speed Operation

When the wiper switch is in the low speed position, ground is applied
through the switch internal resistor and the wiper switch low signal circuit
to the body control module (BCM). In response to this signal, the BCM
energizes the Wiper control relay by applying battery voltage through the
wiper relay control circuit to the coil side of the relay. This allows battery
positive voltage from the Wiper fuse to flow through the switch input side
of the Wiper control relay and out to the switch input side of the Wiper
speed relay. Since the wiper high relay is de-energized and its switch
contacts are normally closed to the low speed control circuit of the
windshield wiper motor, the motor will operate at low speed.

2) Mist Operation
Windshield wiper/washer system MIST operation is identical to wiper
Low operation, except that the mist switch is a press and release type
switch. When the wiper switch is moved to the mist position and
released, low speed wiper motor operation is started and will continue
until 1 wipe cycle is complete. If the wiper switch is moved to the mist
position and held, the wiper motor will operate in the low mode until the
switch is released.
Body Control Module(BCM) :Wiper/Washer System

3) Delay Operation
9-32
Windshield wiper delay operation is a low speed wiper motor function
C140/145 :
with a variable delay interval between the wiper motor cycles.
BCM
The delay interval is determined by a series of 6 resistors within the
wiper/washer switch. The body control module (BCM) monitors the wiper Instructor Guide
switch low signal circuit to determine the delay interval between the low
speed wiper motor wipe cycles.

4) High Speed Operation

When the wiper switch is in the high speed position, ground is applied
through the windshield wiper switch high signal circuit to the body control
module (BCM) indicating the wiper high speed request. In response to
this signal, the BCM then energizes the wiper control relay, as stated
above.

5) Washer Operation
When the Windshield wash switch is pressed, ground is applied through
the switch contacts and the windshield washer switch signal circuit to
the body control module (BCM) indicating the windshield wash request.
The BCM then energizes the wiper control relay, as stated above, and
the Windshield washer pump relay by applying ground through the
control circuit to the coil side of the relay. With the washer pump relay
energized battery voltage from the WPR fuse is applied through the
switch side of the relay and out to the control circuit of the windshield
washer fluid pump.
The washer fluid pump and the wiper motor will operate for 2 wipe
cycles after the wash switch is released and 1 more wipe cycle after 3
seconds.
Body Control Module(BCM) :Wiper/Washer System

6) Park Position Operation

9-33
Windshield wiper motor park operation is controlled by the body control C140/145 :
module (BCM) using an input from the park switch that is located within BCM
the wiper motor assembly.
The BCM monitors the windshield wiper motor park switch signal circuit, Instructor Guide
to determine if the windshield wiper blades are at the bottom of the glass.
During wiper operation, each time the wiper blades are at the bottom of
the glass, the park switch is momentarily closed to ground signaling the
BCM the wiper position. When the wiper switch is turned to the OFF
position while the wiper motor is somewhere in mid-cycle, the BCM will
continue to operate the motor until the wipers reach the park position.
If the ignition is turned OFF while the wipers are in mid-cycle, the wipers
will stop immediately where they are. The BCM will park the wipers the
next time the ignition is turned ON.
