Body Control Module (BCM): Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. NOTE: If installing a new BCM, the ignition cannot be turned on until a parameter reset is performed and 2 keys are programmed to the vehicle. The BCM still communicates with the diagnostic scan tool with the ignition off. Use the previous diagnostic scan tool session or start a diagnostic scan tool session using the PCM part number or tear tag number located on the PCM.

    To install, reverse the removal procedure.

    NOTE: Carry out the remaining steps only if installing a new BCM.
  2. NOTE: A diagnostic scan tool should not  be used to program keys for this specific step.

    Program the keys.

    • Press the START/STOP button and wait approximately 6 seconds.

    • Press the START/STOP button and remove the first key.

    • Place the second key in the backup starting location.

    • Press the START/STOP button.
