SBM Functions

The Body Control Module (SBM) is capable of accomplishing multiple body control functions. The systems that are directly connected to the SBM are controlled by the SBM's outputs. The SBM may control the outputs base upon the input information obtained from the sensors and switches that are directly connected to the SBM.

The SBM may borrow information from other systems on the serial data line. The SBM evaluates the information.

The SBM is capable of commanding other systems in order to control the functions that are not directly wired/controlled by the SBM. The SBM accomplishes this function by sending specific messages on the serial data line. The system capable of performing this function will respond to the message.
