Replacement Service - Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Body Control Module

INTRODUCTION

A Chrysler - Dodge - Jeep - RAM Body Control Module or "BCM" is considered the main computer of the vehicle that manages and controls the majority of the electronic ECUs.

A Body Control Module (BCM) is an electronic control unit with a microcontroller that controls and integrates many of the main body electronic functions and features of the vehicle. Many of the functions and features provided by the BCM are possible because of numerous hardwired inputs and outputs, but most of these features are only possible or are enhanced because the BCM communicates electronically with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well as with a diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.

The BCM is a gateway between the high and low speed CAN data bus networks as well as a Local Interface Network (LIN) master node. This method of communication allows the sharing of sensor information, which reduces wire harness complexity, internal controller hardware and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. This method of communication is used by the BCM to acquire vehicle configuration data, including customer programmable features.

In many scenarios these modules will fail over time and will require a qualified replacement. Why purchase from Infotainment.com?
