Diagnostic Overview
DTC U1000:00 - Body Control Module (BCM)
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The BCM (Body Control Module) controls the output of several vehicle systems by means of solid state drivers. When an overload occurs on any of these drivers, a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) sets. The module also tracks the number of repetitive faults on each of these circuits. The module compares this number of overloads to 3 progressive thresholds established for each circuit. At the each threshold, DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U1000:00 sets along with the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) associated with the affected circuit.DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
