Introduction

A new body control module (BCM) 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.

Note: After the procedure is completed, the personalization settings of the BCM are set to default settings. Inform the customer that the personalization must be set again.

Note: The vehicle will not start and many other functions may not operate properly if a replacement BCM is not properly set up. The following procedures must be followed:

1. Programming the BCM. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) Service Programming System (SPS).

2. Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration. Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration .

3. Learning the restraints ID.

Learning the Restraints ID

Navigate on the scan tool to Vehicle Control Systems > Module Setup > Body Control Module > Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM, then follow the instructions on the screen.

1. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.

2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.

3. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
