The invention discloses a function safety circuit for a vehicle body control system, and a control method. According to the invention, a working state of an MCU module is monitored and judged through a monitoring module, when the MCU module is judged to normally work, the MCU module sends a pulse scanning signal to a combined switch drive module, and the combined switch drive module acquires the state information of a combined switch, and control signals are output to an output detection module according to the state information of the combined switch, and the output detection module controls front windscreen wipers, low-beam lamps and position lamps; and when the MCU module is judged to be failed, the output detection module acquires the state information of the combined switch, and the front windscreen wipers, the low-beam lamps and the position lamps are directly controlled through the combined switch. According to the invention, an MCU module monitoring method and a switch straight-through tube connection method are adopted, and when the MCU module is failed, the front windscreen wipers, the low-beam lamps and the position lamps can still be normally operated through the switch straight-through tube connection method. The function safety circuit has the functions of fault monitoring, early warning and alarming, and the like, meets the requirements of ISO26262 functional safety standards on vehicle body control, and guarantees personal and property safety.
