System Description
The following actions cue the body control module (BCM) type 4 to activate the headlamps and the horn:
| • | The keyless entry systems remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) sends a message to activate the alarm mode. |
| • | The BCM detects a theft attempt when the content theft deterrent is in either the armed or warning mode. |
| • | The theft deterrent system is in the trunk open mode. |
The BCM interfaces with the headlamps through the theft deterrent relay. The theft deterrent relay allows the BCM to turn the headlamps ON providing a visual alert. The BCM energizes the theft deterrent relay, turning the headlamps ON by grounding CKT 352 during the following modes:
| • | The armed mode |
| When the content theft deterrent is in the armed mode, the BCM turns the headlamps ON once for 950-1000 ms. The BCM turns on the headlamps only if the remote activation verification is in either mode 2, 3 or 4. Refer to Body Control Module Diagnostic Information . The horn also sounds during this mode. The BCM will sound the horn first then the headlamps will flash. |
| • | The warning mode |
| The warning mode attempts to warn away potential intruders prior to setting off the alarm mode. The headlamps will cycle ON and OFF 5 times at a rate of 0.9-1.1 hz with a 15-25% active state duty cycle. The horn will sound 5 times during this mode although the BCM alternates between the horn and the headlamps. |
| • | The alarm mode |
| When the content theft deterrent is in the alarm mode, the BCM will turn the headlamps ON and OFF for 2 minutes or until the alarm is disarmed at a rate of 0.9-1.1 hz with a 15-25% active state duty cycle. The horn will sound during this mode although the BCM alternates between the horn and the headlamps. |
| • | The trunk open mode |
| This mode warns the vehicle operator that the content theft deterrent is waiting for the trunk to be closed before going into an armed mode. After the BCM sounds the horn for 23-27 ms, the BCM turns the headlamps ON for 950-1000 ms. This activation only takes place if the remote activation verification is in mode 2, 3 or 4. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to B+ or ground in CKT 352.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM sets the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 6. |
| • | The BCM does not turn on the headlamps during the armed, warning, alarm or trunk open modes. |
| • | If CKT 352 is shorted to ground, the headlamps will stay ON at all times. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A short to B+ or ground in CKT 352 is no longer present between the BCM and the theft deterrent relay. |
| • | After the repairs are completed, refer to Body Control Module Diagnostic Information |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect for a short to B+ or ground in CKT 352. |
| • | A faulty theft deterrent relay. |
| • | Move the wiring and the connectors while you complete the following tests. This will cause the malfunction to appear. |
Remote Activation Verification Modes
Complete the following steps in order to change the remote activation verification mode:
- Turn the IP dimmer switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Remove the MALL PGM fuse.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
| • | The BCM will sound a chime the number of times equivalent to the BCM type installed on the vehicle. |
| • | The BCM has entered the feature customization mode. |
| • | In order to change the remote activation verification mode, press the lock button on the keyless entry transmitter. |
| • | The BCM will sound a chime the number of times equivalent to the remote activation verification mode. |
The following are the remote activation verification modes:
| • | Mode 1 |
| The remote activation verification is disabled. |
| The horn and headlamps are not activated. |
| • | Mode 2 |
| The headlamps will flash when the doors are locked or unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter. |
| • | Mode 3 |
| The headlamps will flash when the doors are unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter. |
| The headlamps will flash and the horn will sound when the doors are locked using the keyless entry transmitter. |
| • | Mode 4 |
| The headlamps will flash when the doors are locked or unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter. |
| The headlamps will flash and the horn will sound when the doors are locked using the keyless entry transmitter a second time within 5 seconds of locking the doors with the keyless entry transmitter. |
BCM Input/Output Test Procedure
- Turn the IP dimmer switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Remove the MALL PGM fuse.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
- Within 1 second, turn the ignition switch from the ACC position, to the OFF position then back to the ACC position.
- Turn the IP dimmer switch to the DOME position.
The BCM will sound a chime the number of times equivalent to the BCM type installed on the vehicle.
The BCM will sound any DTCs that are stored.
The BCM enters the Input/Output test. There are 7 steps in the Input/Output test:
| • | Test 1 |
| Test 1 de-energizes CKT 1393 (protected courtesy lamp output). |
| • | Test 2 |
| Test 2 energizes CKT 1393. |
| • | Test 3 |
| Test 3 grounds CKT 690 (courtesy lamps control). |
| • | Test 4 |
| Test 4 energizes the theft deterrent relay for 1 second by grounding CKT 352 and turns on the headlamps (BCM type 4 only). |
| • | Test 5 |
| Test 5 energizes the horn relay for 25 ms by grounding CKT 28 and sounds the horn (BCM type 4 only). |
| • | Test 6 |
| Test 6 turns on the theft deterrent indicator lamp by grounding CKT 749 (BCM type 4 only). |
| • | Test 7 |
| Test 7 turns off the theft deterrent indicator lamp by opening CKT 749 (BCM type 4 only). |
The BCM completes the steps of the Input/Output test in numerical order.
In order to move to the next test, cycle the IP dimmer switch from DOME to OFF then back to DOME. The BCM will sound a chime a number of times equivalent to the Input/Output test number above. The Input/Output test sequence repeats until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

-
This step checks for a short to ground in CKT 352.
-
