Door Ajar Indicator

Range: ON/OFF
This data indicates what message is being sent from the BCM to the instrument cluster in order to control the door ajar indicator illumination. When the BCM is commanding the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the door ajar indicator, ON is displayed. This indicates to the driver that one or more doors are not closed and completely latched. When the BCM is commanding the door ajar indicator not to be illuminated, OFF is displayed.

The BCM reads the status of all door inputs and sends a SPI data message to the instrument cluster commanding the door ajar indicator to be illuminated. In the event of a SPI data line failure, the instrument cluster will turn the door ajar indicator off.
