BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed behind
the driver side end of the instrument panel in the
passenger compartment, where it is secured to the
fuse panel side of the Junction Block (JB) with four
screws (Fig. 1). The JB is the interface between the
body, the instrument panel, and the headlamp and
dash wire harnesses. The JB also contains the fuses
and relays used for the interior electrical system of
the vehicle. The BCM is enclosed in a molded plastic
housing with two integral external connector recepta-
cles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the
instrument panel wire harness (Fig. 2). The BCM
also has an integral interface connector concealed on
the back side of the unit that joins it through a con-
nector receptacle that is integral to the JB housing to
the circuitry within the JB. This connector is referred
to as the JB-BCM connector. The combined BCM and
JB are sometimes referred to as the Junction Block
Module (JBM).

eter/trip odometer switch button that extends
through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just right
of the speedometer. Actuating this switch momen-
tarily with the ignition switch in the On position will
toggle the VFD between the odometer and trip odom-
eter modes. Depressing the switch button for about
two seconds while the VFD is in the trip odometer
mode will reset the trip odometer value to zero. Hold-
ing this switch depressed while turning the ignition
switch from the Off position to the On position will
initiate the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. The
VFD will also display the cluster software version
level near the completion of the EMIC self-diagnostic
actuator test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information for additional details on this VFD func-
tion.
The VFD is diagnosed using the EMIC self-diag-
nostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the electronic data bus message inputs to the EMIC
that control some of the VFD functions requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information. Specific operation details for
the odometer, the trip odometer, and the various
warning message functions of the VFD may be found
elsewhere in this service information.
INDICATORS Indicators are located in various
positions within the EMIC and are all connected to
the EMIC circuit board. The turn signal indicators,
security indicator, washer fluid indicator, and coolant
low indicator (diesel engine only) use hard wired
inputs to the EMIC. The brake indicator is controlled
by PCI data bus messages from the Controller
Antilock Brake (CAB) as well as by hard wired park
brake switch and brake fluid level switch inputs to
the EMIC. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is
normally controlled by PCI data bus messages from
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM); however, if
the EMIC loses PCI data bus communication, the
EMIC circuitry will automatically turn the MIL on
until PCI data bus communication is restored. The
EMIC uses PCI data bus messages from the Body
Control Module (BCM), the PCM, the Airbag Control
Module (ACM), and the CAB to control all of the
remaining indicators.
The various indicators are controlled by different
strategies; some receive fused ignition switch output
from the EMIC circuitry and have a switched ground,
others are grounded through the EMIC circuitry and
have a switched battery feed, while still others are
completely controlled by the EMIC microprocessor
based upon various hard wired and electronic mes-
sage inputs. Some indicators are illuminated at a
fixed intensity, while the illumination intensity ofothers is synchronized with that of the EMIC general
illumination lamps.
In addition, certain indicators in this instrument
cluster are automatically configured or self-config-
ured. This feature allows the configurable indicators
to be enabled by the EMIC circuitry for compatibility
with certain optional equipment. The ABS indicator,
airbag indicator, SKIS indicator are automatically
configured by PCI data bus messages received by the
EMIC from the CAB, ACM, or Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM) after the EMIC is installed in
the vehicle. Once these configuration settings are
learned by the EMIC, the DRBIIItscan tool must be
used to remove these settings from the EMIC non-
volatile memory. The self-configured indicators
remain latent in each EMIC at all times and will be
activated only when the EMIC receives the appropri-
ate PCI message inputs for the optional system or
equipment.
The hard wired indicators are diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic methods. The EMIC and PCI
bus message controlled indicators are diagnosed
using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the
PCI data bus and the electronic data bus message
inputs to the EMIC that control each indicator
require the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. Specific details of
the operation for each indicator may be found else-
where in this service information.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION The EMIC has several
illumination lamps that are illuminated when the
exterior lighting is turned on with the headlamp
(multi-function) switch. The illumination intensity of
these lamps is adjusted by a 12-volt Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) output of the EMIC when the
interior lighting control ring on the left control stalk
of the multi-function switch is rotated (down to dim,
up to brighten) to one of six available minor detent
positions. The BCM provides electronic dimming
level messages based upon internal programming
and inputs it receives from the control knob and con-
trol ring on the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch on the steering column, then
provides a control output to energize or de-energize
the park lamp relay as appropriate. The energized
park lamp relay provides battery current to the
EMIC on the hard wired fused park lamp relay out-
put circuit, and the BCM provides the electronic dim-
ming level message to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry provides the
proper PWM output to the cluster illumination lamps
and the VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then pro-
vides a synchronized PWM output on the hard wired

tems.
²Park Lamp Relay- A park lamp relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Rear Fog Lamp Relay- Vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where rear fog lamps are
required equipment have a rear fog lamp relay
located in the Junction Block (JB).
²Trailer Tow Adapter- Vehicles equipped with
a factory-installed trailer towing package have an
adapter provided that adapts the factory-installed
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector to a conven-
tional 4-way light duty connector.
²Trailer Tow Connector- Vehicles equipped
with a factory-installed trailer towing package have a
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector installed in a
bracket on the trailer hitch receiver.
²Trailer Tow Relays- Vehicles equipped with a
factory-installed trailer towing package have a con-
nector bank containing four relays located behind the
right quarter trim panel and over the right rear
wheel housing. The four relays are used to supply
fused ignition switch output (run), brake lamps, right
turn signal, and left turn signal outputs to a trailer
through the trailer tow wiring and connectors.
Hard wired circuitry connects the exterior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the exterior lighting
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the major exterior lighting sys-
tems. The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, the PCM, and the PCI data busnetwork inputs and outputs related to the various
exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to
ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
backup lamps receive battery current from a fused
ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on the back-up lamp feed circuit only
when the backup lamp switch (manual transmission),
or backup lamp switch circuit of the Transmission
Range Sensor (TRS - electronic automatic transmis-
sion) is closed by the gearshift mechanism within the
transmission.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps have a path to ground at
all times through their connection to the rear light-
ing wire harness from a take out of the rear body
wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector that
is secured by a screw to the base of the right D-pillar
behind the quarter trim panel. The Center High
Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) has a path to ground
at all times through its connection to the rear body
wire harness from a take out of the rear body wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw to the driver side D-pillar
(left side D-pillar for left-hand drive, right side D-pil-
lar for right-hand drive) behind the quarter trim
panel. The brake lamps and CHMSL receive battery
current from a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on the brake lamp switch output circuit only
when the brake lamp switch circuit of the brake
lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illumi-
nate the high beam filament at a reduced intensity
when the engine is running and the exterior lamps
are turned off. This feature is enabled by the Body
Control Module (BCM) and a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay, which is installed in the
Junction Block (JB) and the high beam relay is omit-
ted. When the BCM monitors an engine speed signal
of greater than 450 RPM and the status of the exte-
rior lighting switch input from the multi-function
switch is Off, the BCM duty cycles the DRL relay to
produce illumination of the headlamp high beam fil-
aments at a reduced intensity. The BCM also pro-
vides normal headlamp high beam operation through
the DRL relay on vehicles so equipped. When the
