The Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) controls the following functions:

• The horns
• The tailgate latch
• The tailgate ajar switch
• The turn signal indicators
• The fuel flap operation.

The BCM/GWM also has a connection to the Restraints Control Module (RCM). This connection provides the automatic operation of the passenger compartment lights and the turn signal indicators in the event of an accident.

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.
