Pinpoint Tests F: Generic BCM Functional Test

This test checks the function of the BCM to determine if it has an identifiable concern. This test should only be conducted after completing basic diagnostics, applicable Service Information Pinpoint Tests (PPTs) and then only if directed by the Service Information.

The BCM hardware test incorporates the following:

• A process using the PTS website and the IDS.
• The BCM on-demand self-test, other tests and steps that are used to validate the BCM functionality.
• Upon completion of the test, a repair recommendation is provided which will be either; "BCM replacement is Not recommended" or "BCM replacement is recommended".
• Once the test completes, a Repair Validation Code (RVC) is also generated. The RVC code is required for Ford paid repairs to claim the labor associated with completion of this test and if applicable, the labor and part for the replacement of the BCM.

The tools required to complete this test are:

• Rotunda IDS.
• VCM or VCM II.
