Component Description: BCM
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM controls the operation of the power door locks and the RKE system. The BCM receives direct input from the liftgate/luggage compartment lid release switch and the door lock control switches. It has an internal antenna for receiving the signals from the RKE transmitters. Depending upon the input received and if conditions allow, the BCM either locks/unlocks the doors or releases the liftgate/luggage compartment lid.
