Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) contains the 2-amp EPS fuse. When the ignition is ON the BCM supplies voltage to the ignition circuit to wake up the power steering control module (PSCM). The PSCM receives a serial data message from the BCM to determine the position of the ignition switch. When a power mode message is received, the PSCM monitors the ignition voltage circuit to detect if a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open exists.
