Body Control Module (BCM): Removal

1.

NOTE: This step is only necessary if the BCM is being replaced.

NOTE: If installing a new BCM, verify at least 2 of the vehicle keys are available prior to carrying out this procedure (some vehicles may require 4 keys depending on configuration).

NOTE: Not all vehicles have PATS. IKT type of keys for non- PATS and PATS equipped vehicles look identical. On the OASIStab, click on the Additional Information link and use the search function (Ctrl+F) to find IMMOBILIZER. Vehicles with "LESS ENG IMMOBILIZER THEFT SYS" are not equipped with a PATS.

NOTE: If the BCM did not respond to the diagnostic scan tool, As-Built Data may need to be entered as part of the repair.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, begin the PMI process for the BCM following the on-screen instructions.
