Scan Tool Data Definitions



SCAN TOOL DATA DEFINITIONS

MODULE INFORMATION 1

Julian Date of Build: The scan tool displays the date upon which the Body Control Module (BCM) was manufactured.

Manufacture Enable Counter (MEC): The scan tool displays the actual value for the MEC in the BCM. This information is for the assembly plant only.

Module Part Number: The scan tool displays the part number assigned to the BCM that is currently in the vehicle.

Software Design Suffix: The scan tool displays the version of the software part number in the BCM.

Software Part Number: The scan tool displays the software identification number (ID) in the BCM.

MODULE INFORMATION 2

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Calibration Number: The scan tool displays the RAP calibration part number in the BCM.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Suffix: The scan tool displays the RAP identification number in the BCM.

Security Calibration Number: The scan tool displays the security calibration part number in the BCM.

Security Suffix: The scan tool displays the security identification number in the BCM

DATA

Battery Voltage: The scan tool displays the battery system voltage.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Timer: The scan tool displays the seconds left before the BCM turns the RAP relay OFF. The BCM uses this feature to allow the operation of the radio and the power windows for up to 1198 seconds, approximately 20 minutes, after the ignition is turned OFF. After the time has elapsed or the door is opened the BCM will open the ground circuit for the RAP relay.

INPUT 1

Door Handle Switch: The scan tool displays the position of the door handle. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when a door handle is raised and INACTIVE with all doors closed and the door handles at rest.

Door Lock Relay Feedback: The scan tool displays the state of the door lock relay. The scan tool displays ON when the BCM senses the door lock relay coil is energized.

Drivers Door Jamb Switch: The scan tool displays the position of the drivers door. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the drivers door is open.

Ignition 1: The scan tool displays the position of the ignition switch. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the ignition switch is in the RUN or CRANK position.

Ignition 3: The scan tool displays the position of the ignition switch. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the ignition switch is in the RUN position only.

Ignition Power Mode: The scan tool displays the position of the ignition switch. The scan tool displays OFF, RUN, CRANK and UNKNOWN. The UNKNOWN display is when the BCM can not determine the position of the ignition switch, between the OFF and RUN positions.

Last Remote Function Actuation (RFA) Command Since Wake-Up: The scan tool displays the last RFA commanded message from the BCM. The scan tool displays NONE when the BCM awakens from asleep status without receiving a RFA module request from a programmed key fob. The scan tool displays LOCK, UNLOCK or PANIC when the BCM is awake and a command is activated from the key fob to the RFA module.

Passenger Door Unlock Input: The scan tool displays the state of the passenger door unlock relay. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the BCM senses that the passenger door unlock relay is being energized.

Remote Function Actuation (RFA) Message Since Wake-Up: The scan tool displays the last message sent to the BCM from the remote control door lock receiver.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Relay Feedback: The scan tool displays the state of the RAP relay. The scan tool displays ON when the BCM activates the RAP relay.

OUTPUTS

Door Lock Relay: The scan tool displays the commanded state of the door lock relay. The scan tool displays ON when the keyless entry transmitter LOCK button or the power lock switch is activated. The BCM allows the door lock relay coil to go to ground, locking the doors.

Driver Door Unlock Relay: The scan tool displays the commanded state of the driver door unlock relay. The scan tool displays ON when the keyless entry transmitter UNLOCK button or the power unlock switch is activated. The BCM allows the driver door unlock relay coil to go to ground, unlocking the doors.

Passenger Door Unlock Relay: The scan tool displays the commanded state of the passenger door unlock relay. The scan tool displays ON when the BCM allows the passenger door unlock relay to go to ground to UNLOCK the passenger door(s). The BCM will command this state when the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter is activated twice within 3 seconds.
