Section 33 (Engine Controls - Tests W/Codes - Body Control Computer): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Plymouth Neon, 1995 Eagle Talon, 1995 Dodge Neon, 1995 Dodge Avenger, and 1995 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control computer system consists of a combination of modules that communicate over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus system. Through the CCD bus, information related to the operation of vehicle components and circuits is relayed to the appropriate system module(s). Each module receives the same information about a component. This reduces the complexity of vehicle wiring and size of wiring harness.

Body control computer systems covered in this article and BODY CONTROL COMPUTER TESTS are as follows: Automatic Door Locks (ADL), chime functions, compass/temperature module, courtesy lights, door ajar system, Electronic Instrument Cluster, Electronic Vehicle Information Center (ERIC), headlight time delay, illuminated entry system, Infinity radio, intermittent wipers, (ignition) key-in light system, Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) warning lights, message center, Overhead Travel Information System (OTIS), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, traveler module and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).

NOTE: Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions.

Body Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are accessed through CCD bus Data Link Connector (DLC) using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan tool or generic scan tool.
