Body Control Module (BCM): Installation

All vehicles 

  1. Install the BCM  and connect the electrical connectors.
  2. NOTE: If the BCM  was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

    Install the steering column opening trim panel.

  3. NOTE: If the ignition is left in RUN or ACC and the engine is OFF during the vehicle battery charging process, the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) can turn off the ignition causing the configuration to fail.

    After battery charging is complete, carry out the BMS  reset by following the scan tool on screen instructions.

  4. NOTE: Once the BCM  Programmable Module Installation (PMI) is complete, follow the scan tool on-screen instructions for performing the Configurable Engine Immobilizer (CEI) lock configuration.

    Download the BCM  configuration information from the scan tool to the new BCM  by following the scan tool on screen instructions.
