The body control module (BCM) of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is installed beneath the hood, inside the engine compartment, positioned between the left side of the transmission and the small coolant reservoir. Steps to locate the control module: Open the driver's door of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar, pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area, lift the engine hood upward, and secure the hood in the open position. The body control module of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is located beneath the hood, inside the engine compartment, between the left side of the transmission and the small coolant reservoir. Functions of the control module: Electric window control, central door locking, remote anti-theft, lighting system control, heating control, instrument panel backlight adjustment, power distribution, etc. Development trends: Increasing control targets, expanding functions of electronic devices, all requiring implementation through the BCM, making the BCM more powerful. There is growing information sharing among electronic devices, with a single piece of information being utilized by multiple components, necessitating increasingly robust data communication capabilities in the BCM.
When I drove my Sagitar before, I encountered a similar issue. The body control module mainly manages door locks, window lifts, and such. It's usually located under the driver's seat. You'll need to lift the carpet first, and it's hidden under that plastic cover. It's best to turn off the engine when checking to avoid electric shock or short circuits. For some model years of the Sagitar, it might be near the rear seat footwell, but most are on the driver's side. Don't rush to dismantle it yourself—first check if any fuses in the glove compartment fuse box are blown. If you're unsure about the location, it's advisable to consult the owner's manual or ask a professional at the 4S shop, since messing with the electrical system can easily cause problems.
