Info - Set-up/Programming BCM for Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

In the past, when replacing the BCM on the above listed vehicles, the module had to be set-up to ensure the RKE was initiated. The RKE option RPO may not have been called out individually on the SPID label when the RKE option was part of an option package. This would often lead to this option being missed during BCM set-up and leading to an inoperative RKE feature.

The new BCM, P/N 10350647, currently available, will automatically toggle the RKE function on during initiation of the module. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to turn on the RKE. Just leave it on regardless if the vehicle is equipped with RKE or not. This will prevent an incorrect set-up causing this feature to become inoperative. This new BCM will also remedy a situation where some older BCMs would not remember the horn chirp setting, short or long, after going into sleep mode.

Also, this new BCM will not lock the settings until after 32 key cycles compared to 15 key cycles on older BCMs. So, if a mistake is made during the initial set-up, you can re-set the module.
