A new auxiliary body control module (XBCM) must be programmed with the latest operating software and vehicle calibrations. 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 connected.
For some export vehicles the additional procedures below are designed to program the export body control module. Before you start, read these procedures carefully and completely.
