Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Output Displays
BCM Output displays are operated as defined under SELECTING OF TESTSΒ . When troubleshooting a malfunction BCM output cycling can be used to determine if output tests can be actuated regardless of inputs and normal program instructions. Once a test in outputs has been selected, test will display HI and LO for three seconds in each state to indicate command. A brief summary of each BCM output is provided below:
- BO00 No Outputs
BO00 will not display HI or LO as this is a resting spot where no outputs will be cycled - BO03 Retained Accessory Power
BO03 is LO when relays are on (energized) - BO07 Park Control
BO07 will cycle Park output to header motor disable relay. - BO09 Redundant Lighting Relays
BO09 will cycle Redundant Relays. These relays will light low beam headlamps and rear tail lamps. The relays are activated with LO reading. - BO10 Chime Output
BO10 cycles Chime output to Chime module. The Chimes will not be activated with key ON. - BO11 Central Door Unlock
BO11 will cycle unlock coil of door lock relay. - BO12 Theft Deterrent Disable
BO12 cycles disarm output to theft module. The display is LO when disarm is commanded. The engine must be running for this output to cycle. - BO14 Daytime Running Lights Relay
BO14 will cycle DRL Headlight Relay (if equipped) only with headlamp switch OFF. This relay will light low beams at reduced intensity through DRL resistor. - BO15 Park Lamp Relay
BO15 will cycle Park Lamp Relay lighting rear parklamps and front side marker lamps. The relay is activated with LO reading. - BO16 Front Foglamp Relay
BO16 will cycle front foglamp relay lighting right and left front foglamps. The relay is activated with LO reading. - BO17 Rear Foglamp Relay
BO17 will cycle rear foglamp relay (export only) lighting rear foglamps. The relay is activated with LO reading. - BO18 Courtesy Lamp Relay
BO18 will cycle courtesy lamp relay lighting courtesy lamps. The relay is activated when BO18 is LO. - BO19 Turn/Hazard Relay
BO19 will cycle Turn/Hazard relay lighting front and rear turn lamps. The relay is activated when BO19 is LO. - BO20 Right Turn Relays
BO20 will cycle right turn relay lighting front and rear right turn lamps. The relay is activated when BO20 is LO. - BO21 Left Turn Relays
BO21 will cycle left turn relay lighting front and rear left turn lamps. The relay is activated when BO21 is LO. - BO22 HI/LO Beam Relay
BO22 will cycle HI/LO beam relay lighting HI beams. The relay is activated when BO22 is LO. - BO23 LO Oil Pressure Chime
BO23 will cycle chime output to chime module, The chime is activated when BO23 is LO.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
