The BCM performs the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when the active control or monitoring of system malfunctions has stopped, or when the BCM is idling. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors the BCM inputs during the sleep state, allowing the BCM to switch between the two states. The BCM wake-ups are as follows:

The BCM is asleep when the BCM has stopped controlling or monitoring devices and has become idle again. After the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and 20 minutes (1216 seconds) elapse without any Wake-Up signals, the BCM enters into an asleep state and goes into the low power mode. If the BCM is in low power mode and detects a wake up, the BCM will enter into the wake-up state and enter the high power mode. If the vehicle has been left inactive (ignition in the LOCK position and no BCM wake-ups) for 20 minutes, the BCM will return to the low power mode.

The remote control door lock receiver module is part of the remote keyless entry system. The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) module sends a serial data message to the body control module (BCM) module through a dedicated circuit. The RCDLR module is not on the class 2 serial data network. The door LOCK and UNLOCK, and Panic Alarm are commands sent to the RCDLR module by the transmitter (key fob), the RCDLR module then sends a serial data message to the BCM to perform the appropriate function.

The ambient light level sensor has two states, LIGHT and DARK. If the headlamp switch is set to AUTO while in the LIGHT state, the radio, the PRNDL, and the instrument panel will stay fully bright. If the headlamp switch is set to the PARK LAMP or the HEADLAMP position while in the LIGHT state, the radio, the PRNDL, and the instrument panel will dim with the dimming control. If the headlamp switch is set to the AUTO, the PARK LAMP, or the HEADLAMP position while in the DARK state, the radio, the PRNDL, and the instrument panel will dim with the dimming control.

If the headlamp switch is set to the AUTO position while in the LIGHT state, the automatic headlamps (AHL) will be OFF. If the headlamp switch is set to the PARK LAMP position the park lamps will be ON. If the Headlamp switch is set to the HEADLAMP position the park lamps will be ON and the headlamps will be ON. If the headlamp switch is set to the AUTO position while in the LIGHT state the and the ambient light level conditions change to DARK for 15 seconds, then the BCM will turn the Headlamps ON. When the ambient light sensor changes state from DARK to LIGHT with the key ON the headlamps will turn OFF after a 20 second delay.

The front fog lamps are a controlled by the BCM. If the park lamps are ON, the high beams are OFF and the fog lamp switch is pressed, the BCM will command the fog lamp relay ON. When the BCM senses a momentary low signal on the fog lamp switch circuit, the fog lamps will turn OFF. Toggle the HIGH/LOW beam switch and the front fog lamps will toggle ON/OFF.

The headlamps, park lamps and the horn will be activated after pressing the panic button on the key fob. Press the panic button again to de-activate the lights and the horn. Pressing the panic button only once on the key fob will activate the headlamps, park lamps, and the horn for 30 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position.

The Passlock™ theft deterrent system is designed to prevent vehicle operation if the correct ignition key is not used to start the vehicle. The ignition key will allow the lock cylinder to turn, which allows the Passlock™ sensor (located inside of the ignition switch assembly) to send a code to the BCM. If the BCM receives the correct code from the Passlock™ sensor the BCM will send a password to the vehicle control module (VCM) or the powertrain control module (PCM) which will allow the vehicle to start.

The battery run down protection will protect the battery against being run down, from the courtesy lamp circuit, to the level which will not allow the vehicle to start. The BCM will turn OFF the courtesy lamp circuit after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, and 40 minutes (2400 seconds) have elapsed and without a lamp request Input.

The RAP feature allows the power windows and the radio to be operated after the ignition switch is turned from the RUN position to the LOCK position. This feature is operable only if the battery voltage is above the minimum voltage threshold when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The power windows and the radio will be turned OFF when any door is OPENED or after 20 minutes (1218 seconds) have elapsed since the last ignition cycle.

Interior lights will illuminate for 15 seconds under any of the conditions listed below:

Interior lights will illuminate continuously if the interior light defeat switch is OFF and any door is OPENED, or if the dimmer switch is ROTATED to the ON position for interior illumination.

Interior lights will ILLUMINATE for 40 seconds when the ignition key is REMOVED from the ignition cylinder.

Interior Lights will ILLUMINATE for 40 seconds when the UNLOCK button is pressed on the key fob. Interior lights will illuminate for 2 seconds when the LOCK button is pressed on the key fob.

The BCM is responsible for energizing the drivers door unlock relay. The drivers door unlock relay will be energized whenever the BCM receives a command from any of the door LOCK/UNLOCK switches or an input from the remote control door lock receiver.

The lockout prevention feature is to prevent locking the vehicle with the keys in the ignition switch. This feature is activated when the key is in the ignition switch, any door is OPENED and then the power lock switch is PRESSED. This feature will LOCK the doors then UNLOCK the drivers door.

Press the key fob LOCK button once and all doors will LOCK. Press the key fob LOCK button twice within 3 seconds and all doors will LOCK and the horn will CHIRP.

Press the key fob UNLOCK button once and the driver door will UNLOCK, the park lamps will FLASH and the interior lights will turn ON. Press the key fob UNLOCK button twice within 3 seconds and all remaining doors will UNLOCK, the park lamps will FLASH and the interior lights will turn ON.

When the BCM determines a driver warning sound is needed, the BCM will sound the chime when applicable.

The chime will sound when the ignition switch is not in the RUN or CRANK position, the ignition key is in the ignition key cylinder, and the drivers door is OPENED.

The chime will sound when the headlamp switch is in the PARK LAMP or HEADLAMP position and the ignition switch is in the OFF position or ACC position.

The chime will sound for 8 seconds when the ignition switch is turned from the OFF position to the RUN position and the seat belt is UNFASTENED. The seat belt indicator on the IPC will also turn ON.

The chime will sound when the right or left turn signal is turned ON for more than 0.75 miles. The chime will be synchronous with the turn signal flasher.

The BCM sends requests to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to turn the IPC indicators ON or OFF. These requests are sent on the Class 2 serial data line. If the IPC can not communicate with the BCM via Class 2 the IPC will turn the Security telltale ON steady. The list of messages sent by the BCM to the IPC are as follows:

The BCM can turn ON some of the exterior lighting independently of the exterior lighting system. The BCM can command ON the following exterior lights:

The BCM can turn ON some of the interior lighting independently of the interior lighting system. The BCM can command ON the following interior lights:
