Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle power mode master is the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors switch inputs and will activate relays and other direct outputs of the power mode master as needed according to the calculated power mode.
The instrument cluster has a switched voltage input and may operate in a default mode if the power mode master serial data message does not match what the individual module can see from its own connections.
