Removal Procedure
Replacing the body control module (BCM) may be necessary when you service
the body control system.
Important: The ignition switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or
disconnecting the connectors to the BCM. Always disconnect the Brown BCM connector
FIRST and connect the Brown BCM connector LAST. The BCM can set DTC(s) with
the ignition switch in the OFF position. The BCM has battery run down protection
for the courtesy lamp circuit. The BCM battery run down protection can
not detect shorts on inputs or other circuits which it does not control.
The scan tool can be used to put the BCM to sleep in order to check for
current draws on circuits which are not controlled by the BCM or controlled
by the battery run down protection system. If an excessive current draw
is detected, refer to
Battery Electrical Drain/Parasitic Load Test
in Engine Electrical.
