Solution

1. Preparation

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, torque wrench, wiring diagrams.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Allow the vehicle to cool down if it has been running.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

    1. Use the wiring diagram to locate the BCM and its connectors.
    2. Visually inspect the wiring harness for frayed wires or signs of wear.
    3. Use a multimeter to test for continuity in the wires leading to the BCM.
    4. Repair any damaged wires by splicing in new wire sections and using heat shrink tubing to insulate.

3. Check and Replace Fuses

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
    2. Identify and remove the fuses associated with the BCM.
    3. Inspect the fuses for continuity using a multimeter. Replace any blown fuses with the same amperage rating.

4. Inspect/Replace Body Control Module

  • Sub-steps:
    1. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, remove the BCM from its mounting.
    2. Disconnect the harness and inspect the module for physical damage.
