Front Control Module: Description

The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the engine compartment. This FCM mates to the power distribution center to form the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The FCM controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received on the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus.

For information on the IPM, (Refer to INTEGRATED POWER MODULE ).
