On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is Power Mode Master (PMM). On Aztek, PMM is Body Control Module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 signals/circuits from ignition switch. These are Unlock (IGN0), Run/Crank (IGN1) and Accessory (ACC) ignition switch signals/circuits. To determine correct power mode PMM uses: The state of these signals/circuits, either switch closed (B+ = 1) or switch open (open = 0). The sequence of switch closures received by the PMM. The status of engine run flag. Chart below indicates the mode detected and transmitted by PMM. See Fig 1.
