Serial Data Power Mode

On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The BCM receives 4 signals/circuits from the ignition switch. These are the Ignition 0, Ignition 1, Crank and Accessory 1 ignition switch signals/circuits.

IMPORTANT: Any ignition switch state not covered in this table indicates a DTC setting situation.

The chart indicates the modes detected and transmitted by the BCM:
