System Operation: BCM
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM controls various systems by monitoring inputs from switches, sensors and network messages from other modules on the HS-CAN and from the GWM. Based on the inputs received, the BCM activates outputs. For example, the BCM monitors the headlamp switch position. Based on this input, the BCM may provide voltage to the exterior lamps.
