Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM/GWM controls the following functions:
- The horns.
- The tailgate latch motor and micro switches (including the tailgate external release switch).
- The tailgate ajar switch.
- The turn signal indicators.
- The fuel flap operation.
The BCM/GWM also has a connection to the RCM (Restraints Control Module) for automatic operation of the interior lights and the turn signal indicators in the event of an accident.
NOTE:
If the BCM/GWM is replaced, the new module will require configuring to the master car configuration using a Jaguar approved diagnostic system.
The BCM/GWM automatically arms and disarms the active anti-theft system when the vehicle is locked and unlocked after successful confirmation that a valid smart key has been used.
