System Description

The body control system consists of three modules and their associated electrical controls. These modules are as follows:
^ The Dash Integration Module (DIM), located on the right hand side of the instrument panel, near the blower motor.
^ The Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM), located in the center of the instrument panel, above the radio.
^ The Rear Integration Module (RIM), located on the right hand rear of the passenger compartment, behind the rear seat.

Each module integrates input and output controls for two or more functional areas. The inputs and outputs are wired to the closest module to minimize the length and amount of the wiring used. All three modules communicate on the Class 2 serial data line, allowing data to be shared among them, as well as with other Class 2 modules on the vehicle as needed.
