DTC B1440

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




The body control module (BCM) is the power mode master (PMM) responsible for sending ignition switch position information on the class 2 serial data link.

The BCM communicates this power mode information to all class 2 modules on the class 2 serial data link. The table represents correct BCM power mode data:
