Data Line Communications

The BCM communicates on the following 2 separate data lines:

• Class 2 serial data comminutions. Refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation in Data Link Communications.
• Serial peripheral interface (SPI). The BCM acts as the master between itself and the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

The various BCM input and output circuits are described in the corresponding functional areas indicated on the BCM electrical schematics. The BCM functions include the following:

• A/C compressor request. Refer to Air Temperature Description and Operation in HVAC Systems-Manual.
