Body control modules (BCM) monitor and control a wide variety of tractor body, security and convenience functions. Due to the increasing complexity of modern tractors, each vehicle may have multiple BCMs, each dedicated to a specific sub-system, including:
- Lighting control including related diagnostics monitoring (over-load and over-temperature protection, bulb outage detection, etc.);
- Motor control drives for mirrors, wipers, windows, seat positions and climate control;
- Security control for engine immobilizers and NFC keyless entry systems.
