Body Control Module (BCM): Installation

NOTE: The BCM still communicates with the scan tool with the ignition off. Use the previous scan tool session or start a scan tool session using the part number or tear tag number on the PCM. The tear tag number can be found by double-clicking the VIN in the top left corner of PTS after OASIS has been run for the VIN.

NOTE: Low vehicle battery state-of-charge can affect proper module programming. Battery state-of-charge can be monitored on the scan tool. A red battery icon indicates low vehicle battery state-of-charge. Over-voltage may also affect module programming.

Make sure the battery is fully charged before starting the installation procedure. Do not have a battery charger connected to the vehicle charging system during the installation procedure.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE: Carry out the remaining steps only if installing a new BCM.
NOTE: You will not be able to confirm that transport mode has been deactivated until module programming has been completed.

Deactivate transport mode in the BCM. Refer to: Transport and Factory Mode Deactivation .
Using the previous scan tool session, complete the PMI process for the BCM following the on-screen instructions.
Remove the key from the ignition until Step 5.
Using the scan tool, select Tool Box/Module Programming/Programmable Parameters/Car Configuration Parameter(s).

NOTE: If a diagnostic scan tool is connected to the internet, it automatically obtains As-Built data. If a diagnostic scan tool is not connected to the internet, obtain the As-Built data from Professional Technician Society (PTS) OASIS. Download the As-Built data to the scan tool or other storage device, such as a flash drive, following the on-screen instructions.

From the Car Configuration screen select "Retrieve PTS derived ASBUILT data". Follow the on-screen instructions to install the as-built data into the BCM.

NOTE: Any scan tool prompts to turn the ignition on and off should be ignored during the Car Configuration Parameter process.

Do not interrupt the process until it is completed.

Confirm that transport mode has been deactivated by verifying that transport mode is not displayed in the instrument cluster.
Carry out the Configurable Engine Immobilizer (CEI) Lock Configuration. On the scan tool, select Body/Service Functions/CEI Lock Configuration.
Disable Factory Mode. Refer to: Transport and Factory Mode Deactivation .
NOTE: If a PCM tear tag or part number was used to establish the scan tool session, it may be necessary to establish a new session using the normal process.

Carry out the key code erase and program procedure. Refer to: Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment .
Using a diagnostic scan tool, enter the PATS functions and follow the on-screen instructions to enter PATS security access.
- Select parameter reset BCM and PCM. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Configure the customer preference programmable parameters. Refer to: Module Configuration - System Operation and Component Description .
Train the tire pressure sensors. Refer to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration .
Carry out the BCM self-test, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and then repeat the self-test to confirm all DTC have been cleared.
