DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
| WARNING | Vehicles are equipped with air bag supplemental restraint system. Before attempting any repairs involving steering column, instrument panel or related components, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM in AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. |
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery. |
The body control system consists of 2 separate Electronic Control Units (ECUs). The body ECU No. 1 controls anti-theft, power door locks, remote keyless entry (wireless controls), luggage compartment door opener and passenger's seat belt warning indicator. The body ECU No. 2 controls light auto turn off, automatic light control, illuminated entry, key reminder, fog light, driver seat belt warning indicator, brake fluid level warning indicator and clock.
BODY ECU NO. 1 CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
Note. Prior to trouble shooting body control system, check multiplex communication system for proper operation and stored codes. The body control ECU's store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for the multiplex communication system and is the access point to communicate with other ECUs on the multiplex communication bus (circuit). See MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM article in COMMUNICATION DEVICES.
- Trouble shooting of a body ECU No. 1 control system complaint begins with verification of the customer problem. If problem occurs, go to step 3 . If problem does not occur, go to next step.
- If problem does not occur, review conditions under which problem occurred for customer and try to duplicate those conditions. For example, if the problem occurs on rainy days or during high humidity conditions, sprinkle water onto vehicle and see if malfunction occurs. DO NOT sprinkle water directly into engine compartment or onto electronic components. Visually inspect for signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Inspect for blown fuses and damaged relays. Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring harness and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary.
- Inspect the multiplex communication system and confirm that there is no trouble by the basic inspection and DTC check. See PRE-CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM under «MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM»(ref-152690) article in COMMUNICATION DEVICES.
- Determine problem symptom. See «BODY ECU NO. 1 PROBLEM SYMPTOM INDEX»(ref-152747-S28174465832003022400000) table.
