The BCMii Module is an Electronic Fuse Box that, in addition to fulfilling control functions
Body, feeds positively to other modules and controls the 'Load Balance' of the battery.
The MóduloBCM is the Power Supply for various Modules such as HVAC (Heating and
Air Conditioning), IPC (Instrument Panel), MFD (Multi-Function Display), ACM (Module of
Audio Control), etc. For this, it controls the Power Relay (R14) of the BJB.
Also carry out the Wake Up Function to the PCM and TCM without placing the Contact.
The BCMi Module is also the gateway between the High-Speed CAN buses and the Medium-Speed CAN.

The Networks are composed of a series of Modules called NODES connected to each other.
through 2 cables (CAN buses) or 1 cable (LIN buses). To operate and be able to
communicate with other Modules and with the Scanner (IDS) each Module must have correct
Power supply (Positive 12 Volt and Grounds) and being connected to the Bus cables.
The Modules use Data BUS Systems to share information, allowing the
exchange of a large amount of Notices, Messages, and Commands. This allows for the execution of
operations of greater complexity, reducing wiring and duplication of Sensors
Each Module is programmed (Software) to send and receive different messages through the BUS.

Control of the Butterfly Body will turn on the Mil Light (PCM) and the ESP Light.
The BusCAN HS and the BusCAN Private are used to establish communications between the
Modules that have important functions in Real Time.
The BusCAN MS and the Bus I-CAN or MM-CAN are used to establish communications between
the Modules of the Body, Comfort, and Multimedia Systems.
The 3 CAN BUSES are made up of 2 independent cables, CAN High and CAN Low, which must have

you should cut off contact and remove the contactor key, waiting a few minutes or
disconnect a terminal from the battery.
20
Another way of verification is by observing the Communication Frames with an Oscilloscope.
When the BUS is 'Recessive' the Voltage should be around 2.5 V on both wires.
While the CAN Hes is 'Dominant' upwards, the CAN Les is 'Dominant' downwards.
The communication voltage levels should be around 1 Volt of amplitude.
It should be verified that the 'Logical Levels' of the Transmission are within the Standard.
CAN H transmits from 2.5 V to 3.5 V (upward) and CAN L from 2.5 V to 1.5 V (downward).
The Termination Resistors of the 120 BUS están colocadas en elPCMy elBCMi.
The ElBUS HS CAN connects to Pins 6 and 14 of the DLC allowing Diagnosis with IDS.

or between a Module and Smart Sensors. LIN Buses are used when the volume of
Information to be transmitted does not require the bandwidth of a CAN BUS.
The Low Speed of the LIN BUS allows increasing the Voltage of the message Frames to
values between 8 V and 12 V (Battery Voltage). This gives it high immunity to
parasitic interferences to clearly define the thresholds of the states
Dominant (0 Volt) and Recessive (12 Volt) in communication.
Each Slave Module or Intelligent Sensor must have its power supply correctly connected (Positives and

Functions of the BCMi Module
The New Ranger features 'Centralized Module Configuration'. The Configuration
Central is a 'Data Archive' stored in the BCM with a Backup
saved in the IPC.
This file is called 'As Build Data' or data on how the vehicle was constructed.
The content of the Build Data of a vehicle corresponds to information about the type
the Engine, the Type of Transmission, the Body and Chassis Equipment, and the Preferences
from the Client. The other Modules are configured from the BCMi.
The functions of the BCMii module are the following:
Control of Positive Power Supply to Chassis and Body Modules.
ElBCMiies is a Body Module that, among other functions, receives requests and controls
directly the Output Circuits of: PATS Immobilizer System, Fuel Pump
of Motor Control, Interior and Exterior Lights, Horn, Windshield Wipers, Central Locking, etc.
The BCMi Module also controls the state of charge of the Battery (Charge Balance) and the
Power supply from other Modules, by removing them from service by cutting the Positive, after the
completion of the Bus communications.
Loading System
It consists of a 'Smart Charge' alternator connected via LIN bus to the PCM and by
elSensor BMS. La consigna de Carga la establece el PCM en conjunto con el BCMi en virtud del
Battery Voltage and consumer demand. The Alternating is 110 Amp.

If the alternator's performance is low, this may be due to a problem with the brushes, failure.
of the Three-Phase Stator Winding, failure of the Rotor Winding or a Rectifier Plate with
Damaged diodes. When connecting consumers to the vehicle, the B+ voltage will start to drop.
If the Smart Charge Voltage Regulator is working correctly but the Alternator is low

25
3 Phase) and the desired value GENVDSD# will distance itself from the value of B+ at Idle. When accelerating
the engine will increase the performance of the alternator and the values will begin to converge.
Alternator Diagnosis:
The Alternator has 3 Phases in the Stator (Induced) and 12 Pairs of Poles in the Rotor (Inductor).
The connection of the Three-Phase Stator is in 'Star'.
Each free end of the Three-Phase Stator Winding is connected between 2 Rectifier Diodes.
The checking of the Rectifier Diode Plate should be done with the Clamp
Amperometric Transducer of the Oscilloscope, directly on the Battery Terminal.
26
The "crests" of the Current of each Positive Semicircle of the 3 Rectified Phases are observed.
In the oscilloscope below, the typical waveform of the Alternator's output is observed.
27
Factors that affect the measured waveform of the Alternator:
Fluctuations in Engine RPM.
Working Cycle applied to the Exciter (Rotor).
Alternator Electric Charge.
The SensorBMS measures the charging and discharging of the battery. It has a 2-pin connector that
correspond to a Positive Power Supply (through the F30 Fuse of the BJB) and to a LIN connection
that links it to the BCMii. The mass is taken directly from the negative terminal.
28
29
In the Active Diagnosis, you enter the Data Line of the BCMii and select the PID of
VPWR and the PIDs that start with BAT_such as BAT_CURRENT, etc.
The BMS Sensor informs the BCMii about the Load Balance on the Battery. It does not indicate the Current.
what is the Alternator generating.
With the Engine running, a portion of the generated Current goes directly to the
Consumers and another part is stored in the Battery.
Analyzing the readings from the BMS Sensor, indirect diagnostics can be performed.
For example, when placing the contact, it is possible to evaluate if the Fuel Pump is
Timed, if the Pre-Post Heating Spark Plugs are functioning, etc.
The Smart Charge Alternator Diagnosis can also be complemented by analyzing the
PIDs of the BMS with the Engine Running.
The consumption with the key in the contactor is 2.5 Amps for 10 minutes, then
drops to 0.9 A
PATS Immobilizer System
The New Ranger has an Immobilizer System PATS through key recognition.
The PATS Function is integrated into the BCMii Module, where the Keys are Programmed.
30
31
The PATS Witness is integrated into the Instrument Panel and is turned on or off via
CAN MS message to the IPC at the request of the BCMii.
In the 2012 Ranger, the management of the PATS LED is different from what is normally used by Ford.
The System does not deliver Flash Codes. In case of any System failure, the LED flashes.

This interrogates the Key even though the contact is not installed.
When the Presence Switch is turned off, the BCMii wakes up the PCM and TCM (Wake Up) with 12 Volts.
even if the Key has not been brought to the Contact Position.
This is checked because 5 Volts appear in the Engine Sensors and the Automatic Transmission.
(VRef.)
By turning the Key to Position 15 (Contact), the BCMii reads the Key's Transponder again.
33
Transceiver (Antenna):
The Transceiver connects directly to the BCMii. It has 4 connection pins corresponding to 2 to
the Power supply (12 Volt and Ground) and the other 2 wires for communication Tx and Rx. The
Transceivers are not coded and can be exchanged from one vehicle to another.
Transponder Keys:
The system can store up to a maximum of 8 keys. A minimum must be programmed.
2 keys for the vehicle to start. The used keys may have remote control.
Both the Transponders and the Remote Controls are stored in the BCMii.

Presentation of the SIEMENS SID 208 CAN Diesel Injection Team
The New Ranger 2.2 and 3.2 TDCi Electronic with Puma Engine has Siemens Equipment.
High performance Common Rail Diesel Injection, called 3rd Generation.
The Siemens Common Rail System can operate at injection pressures higher than
the1800 Bars. This improves the fuel atomization, resulting in a greater
Power and a significant reduction in Particulate Emissions (Black Smoke).
The high performance of the Engine and its Injection System requires, for optimal
operation, a quality Diesel fuel, with less sulfur, but above all
water and solid contaminants (dirty Gas Oil).
It has a High-Pressure Pump controlled by Input. For this reason, the Pump has
with a single Control Flow Electrovavle called VCV (Input Control).
In the High Pump, there is the Diesel Temperature Sensor (FRT), of the NTC type.
Although the High-Pressure Pump has an integrated Vane Transfer Pump, the
system includes an Electric Pump or Lifting Pump located at the Metering device of the
Fuel Tank. This facilitates the system purging and improves performance.
Team ensuring a good supply of fuel to the High Pump.
The Common Rail Injectors are Siemens of the Piezo Electric Type, which gives them a high
operating speed. Typical injection times are very low, less than 2 msec.
The Air Admission System has two Turbocharger Engines.
In the 2.2 L Engine, the Intake Pressure is limited by a Wastegate Valve.
Diverter, actuated pneumatically by a solenoid valve EVR controlled by the
PCM. The Valve has a SensorEVP (3 wires) that reports the position of the Wastegate.

In case of startup problems, the PIDs from the Data Line of the PCM should be selected.
that are related to the Engine Start.
The PID to select for an engine not starting condition are the following:
SYNC: Yes (there is synchronization of the engine between CKP and CMP. They are in phase).
RPM: 194 RPM. (the PCM receives the Turn Signal correctly).
FRPS: Pressure Sensor Signal from the Rail at Voltage 0.87V. (the Pressure is low).
FRP: Desired Pressure by the PCM.
Analyzing the Data Logger, it is observed that the Engine has CKP-CMP Synchronization, the Pressure

1- Disconnect Connector 2 (Output to Spark Plugs) and set the Multimeter to ground.
to measure the resistance of the spark plugs. Short-circuit the probes of the multimeter to
discount the residual. Make sure the engine is cold because the spark plugs are of a
PTC material and when heated, it increases its resistance.
Diagnostic Trick: The Glow Plugs are made of PTC material that increases their
value of Resistance with Temperature. Taking advantage of this condition, it is possible to diagnose
an uncompressed chamber measuring the spark plugs resistance with the engine running. The
A cylinder with lower compression will generate less heat and the spark plug will have lower resistance.
The cylinder with higher compression will burn well generating more calories and the spark plug will have
Mayor Resistance.
