Component Description: BCM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM controls the run/start relays and sets the vehicle ignition mode based on inputs from the ignition switch, or push button ignition switch. It communicates the ignition mode to other modules over the CAN. If a fault is detected with the ignition switch system, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are set in the BCM.

The BCM requires at least 2 keys to be programmed and PMI when replaced. Additionally, the parameter reset procedure must be carried out.
