  1. The body control module can diagnose by using the GDS more quickly.

    The BCM communicates with the GDS and then reads the input/output value and drives the actuator.

  2. To diagnose the BCM function, select the menu of model and body control module.
  3. Select "Input/output monitoring", if you will check current data of body network system. It provides input/output status of each module.
    • BCM service data, CLU service data, SJB service data
  4. If you will check each module data operation forcefully, select "Actuation test".
