Description and Operation

Description

Body Control Module (BCM) Function

NO Position Description
1 Wiper Linked to Washer
  • When the washer switch is pressed for 0.06 ~ 0.2 seconds while the vehicle is in IGN2 mode, the wiper relay turns on after the washer relay has been on for 0.3 ± 0.1 seconds. The wiper relay turns off after 0.7 ± 0.1 seconds.

  • When the washer switch is pressed for more than 0.2 seconds while the vehicle is in IGN2 mode, the wiper relay turns on 0.3 ± 0.1 seconds after the washer relay turns on. After the washer is switched off, the wiper relay operates for 2.5~3.8 seconds (wiper cycles 2~3 times).

2 Combined Wiper Mode for WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING
  • Will the wiper defog function activate after 0.7 seconds of long press while the vehicle is in IGN2 mode; the wiper relay then turns on and turns off 0.7 seconds later.

  • Will the wiper defog function activate after 0.7 seconds of long press while the vehicle is in IGN2 mode; the wiper relay then turns on and turns off 0.7 seconds after the wiper switch is turned off.

3 ADJUSTABLE WIPER INTERVAL
  • If the wiper interval switch is turned on while the vehicle is in IGN2 mode, the wiper operates in intermittent mode (10~2.2 s) depending on the interval setting.

4 Wiper Linked to Rear Window Washer
  • When the rear window washer is switched on while the IGN2 switch is on, the wiper current turns on after 0.3 seconds. When the switch input signal lasts 0.2 to 0.6 seconds, the wiper current turns off 0.7 seconds later.

5 Rear Wiper
  • If the rear wiper switch is turned on while the IGN2 switch is on, the rear wiper will operate continuously.

6 Rear Window Heater Timer
  • If the defogger switch is turned on while the vehicle generator is on, the defogger relay turns on for 20 minutes.

  • If the heater switch is turned on a second time while the heater is operating, or the generator mode is off, the defogger relay turns off.

7 KEY INTERLOCK
  • Whether the KEY INTERLOCK SWITCH is off when the vehicle is in IGN1 ON or ACC ON mode; the key magnet output signal is prevented from switching on and off.

  • If the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h with the seat belt fastened and the seat belt is unfastened, the indicator light flashes and the warning buzzer is activated for 100 seconds. (Memory function)

  • When the seat belt is fastened or the ignition is switched off while the buzzer is sounding for 100 s, the indicator light flashes and the buzzer turns off.

  • If the ignition is switched on with the seat belt unfastened and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h while the indicator light is on, the indicator light and warning buzzer flash and are activated for 100 seconds.

12 Unbuckled Seat Belt Warning (Front Passenger)

  • The high beam can be turned off only by the headlamp flash switch.

21 Headlamp Dimmer/Flash
  • The high beam turns on only when the headlamp flash switch is operated and the vehicle is in IGN2 ON mode.

  • This switch is used to turn off the high beam when it is on.

22 Fog Lamps
  • If the fog lamps are on while the tail lamps are on, the fog lamps turn on.

  • If the fog lamps are off while the headlamps are on, then turn on the fog lamps externally.
