Body Control Module/Gateway Module [BCM/GWM] Assembly

The BCM/GWM assembly controls the following functions:

• The horns.
• The tailgate latch motor and micro switches (including the tailgate external release switch).
• The tailgate ajar switch.
• The turn signal indicators.
• The fuel flap operation.

The BCM/GWM assembly also has a connection to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) for automatic operation of the interior lights and the turn signal indicators in the event of an accident.

The BCM/GWM assembly automatically arms and disarms the active anti-theft system when the vehicle is locked and unlocked after successful confirmation that a valid smart key has been used.
