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.
Circuit Description
Normal vehicle class 2 communications and module operations will not begin until the system power mode has been identified. Discrete circuits from the ignition switch are monitored by the power mode master (PMM) module in order to determine the correct power mode. The PMM communicates the system power mode to all class 2 modules on the class 2 serial data line. The body control module (BCM) is the PMM on this vehicle. Use this table if the class 2 power mode does not match the ignition switch position.
