Body Control System Description and Operation: Notes

The body control system consists of the following 3 modules:

• The dash integration module (DIM)
• The instrument panel integration module (IPM)
• The rear integration module (RIM)

Each of the 3 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems under the control of a single module. Each of the modules are connected to the Class 2 serial data line; many control signals are implemented by Class 2 messages.
