Body Control Module (BCM): Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the 2 bolts and the BCM.
    • Tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).
  2. Install the in-line connector push-pin on the BCM.
  3. Connect the 7 BCM electrical connectors.
  4. NOTE: If the BCM was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

    Install the passenger cowl side trim panel. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM AND ORNAMENTATION .

  5. NOTE: Once the BCM Programmable Module Installation (PMI) is complete, follow the scan tool's on-screen instructions for performing the Configurable Engine Immobilizer (CEI) Lock Configuration.

    Download the BCM configuration information from the scan tool. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION SYSTEM .

  6. NOTE: If a new BCM is installed, the BCM and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the BCM and the PCM to recognize each other.
    NOTE: If equipped, the vehicle's IKTs must be programmed to the new BCM.

    If installing a new BCM, carry out the parameter reset and key programming procedure. For additional information, refer to ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) .

  7. Carry out the BCM on-demand self-test to confirm all DTCs have been cleared.
