The body control module can diagnose by using the KDS/GDS more quickly.
The BCM communicates with the KDS/GDS and then reads the input/output value and drives the actuator.
To diagnose the BCM function, select the menu of model and body control module.
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
If you will check each module data operation forcefully, select "Actuation test".
