Component Description: BCM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM controls the run/start relays and sets the vehicle ignition mode based on inputs from the ignition switch. It communicates the ignition mode to other modules over the CAN. If a fault is detected with the ignition switch system, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are set in the BCM.

The BCM requires at least 2 keys to be programmed and PMI when replaced. Additionally, the parameter reset procedure must be carried out.
