- A new body control module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper regular
production option (RPO) configurations. The BCM stores the information regarding the
vehicle options and if the BCM is not properly configured with the correct RPO codes,
the BCM will not control all of the features properly. The Tech 2 software
will automatically prompt you with the RPO available for the vehicle. Ensure that
the following conditions exist in order to prepare for BCM programming:
• | The battery is fully charged. |
• | The ignition switch is in the ON position. |
• | The data link connector (DLC) is accessible. |
• | All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected before programming. |
- To setup a new BCM, access the Vehicle Control Systems in Computer/Integrating
Systems menu on the scan tool to program the BCM. Select Module Replacement/Setup
and follow the instructions on the scan tool.
- If the BCM fails to accept the program, perform the following steps:
• | Inspect all BCM connections. |
• | Verify that the scan tool has the latest software version. |
Passkey 3 Programming Procedures
Important: If any module or device listed is replaced, programming of the module must
be done prior to performing the Passkey 3 Programming procedure.
Perform the Passkey 3 Programming Procedure if any of the following components
have been replaced:
• | The powertrain control module (PCM) |
Important: After programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:
- Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
- Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
- Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.
- Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules.
- Clear all history DTCs.
