In the 2K+ Bonneville, there is:
DIM - Dash Integration Module
Controls headlights and exterior lights, horn, interior incandescent dimming, power moding over the class 2 data bus, steering wheel controls and storage of clock settings.
RIM - Rear Integration Module
Automatic Level Control, fuel door lock control, heated seat controls, rear defogger, retained accessory power, reverse lamps and various interior light functions.
IPM - Instrument Panel Integration Module
Ambient light sensor / twilight delay, front HVAC air delivery and temp control, many interior lamp related functions, input device for T/C and trunk lid switches.
Each of the above modules has functions which I haven't listed, simply because there are so many. The term "Body" refers to anything related to body functions in the vehicle (as opposed to PCM which is powertrain control).

Cool to know all this stuff. The reason I said it was the BCM is also because RockAuto and other sources reference that part number as "Body Control Module" but in actuality it is probably the IPM, which is part of the larger "BCM". Effing acronyms, lol.
