Awake State and Sleep State
Table 1, Parameters
The Bulkhead Module, Chassis Module (CHM), and
instrumentation control unit (ICU) are, as a group, in
an awake state or a sleep state depending on ve-
hicle conditions. When any of these electronic com-
ponents are awakened, the remaining components
wake up if they are not already awake. When the
BHM, CHM, and ICU are in an awake state, the
odometer reading appears on the dash driver display
screen.
One of the following actions will cause the BHM,
CHM, or ICU to go into an awake state:
• opening the door switch
• turning on the hazard switch
• turning the ignition switch to any position other
than off
• turning on the headlight/parking light switch
• depressing the service brake
The BHM, CHM, and ICU will enter a sleep state

Flashing the Bulkhead Module

Flashing the Bulkhead Module

When the Bulkhead (BHM) is flashed, both the appli-
cation software and reference parameters are
flashed to the BHM.
Flashing is done in ServiceLink® in the BHM "Flash-
ing" screen. See the ServiceLink User Guide for
more information on flashing.
Normally, it is only necessary to flash the BHM in
one of the following situations:
• When, as a last resort in the troubleshooting
process, the BHM is suspected of being faulty.
This is to confirm that the problem is hardware
related.
• When a replacement BHM is installed on a ve-
hicle that originally had software version 6.1.
In all other situations, it is only necessary to perform
the "Refresh Features List" in ServiceLink in the
"Features" screen. This applies the appropriate refer-
ence parameters to the BHM specific to the vehicle.
See the ServiceLink User Guide for more information
on refreshing the features list.
NOTE: Pay particular attention to the first "NO-
TICES" screen when you open ServiceLink.
This screen will contain timely details on matters
pertaining to successfully flashing and applying
reference parameters to the BHM.

NOTE: One minute after these conditions are
met, and provided that one of the parameters in
Table 23 has not been added to the BHM, the
odometer reading should disappear. If the
odometer reading does not disappear, the elec-
trical system is not going to sleep.

Troubleshooting Quick Checks

If the ICU chimes when the door is opened, check
for an open or short to power in the wake circuit be-
tween the BHM and CHM—the BHM cannot deter-
mine the park brake status and assumes it is not set
while the door is open.
If the ICU does not display the odometer when the
door is opened, check fuse 20 and check for an
open in the BHM to ICU wake circuit.
To thoroughly check wake functionality, follow the
troubleshooting procedures in Table 24.

Table 8, Power Supply Fuses and Associated Outputs for the Bulkhead Module

NOTE: Currents listed are the maximum allow-

able combined current load for each output pin
or group of pins. When maximum allowable cur-
rent load is exceeded, the BHM software will
shut off the output pin or group of pins.
In Test Mode, the outputs will deliver more cur-
rent load than the maximum allowable current
values shown. When testing, do not exceed the
maximum combined values for more than a few
minutes or the life of the output driver inside the
BHM may be shortened.
