Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) controls the ignition run relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition run relay coil control circuit. The ignition run relay is energized when the vehicle is in Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested. This is part of the BCM's primary function in controlling the vehicle power mode.

The keyless entry control module controls the backup power for the ignition run relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition voltage circuit. This circuit is a pass-thru in the BCM and will energize the ignition circuit when the vehicle is in Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested.
