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.
-
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. -
NOTE: A diagnostic scan tool should not be used to program keys for this specific step.
Program the keys.
- Place the first key in the backup starting location. Refer to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Component Location .
- 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.
-
NOTE: A new BCM may be shipped in factory mode.
If necessary, complete the factory mode deactivation procedure. Refer to: Factory Mode Deactivation .
- Carry out the parameter reset. Refer to: Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI process for the BCM following the on-screen instructions.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the Configuration Engine Immobilizer (CEI) configuration following the on-screen instructions (Toolbox > Body > Service Functions > CEI Lock Configuration).
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the battery monitor sensor reset following the on-screen instructions (Toolbox > Body > BMS Reset).
- If equipped with video rear parking aid, using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the new module initialization following the on-screen instructions (Toolbox > Electrical > Service Functions > LIN New Module Initialization).
-
NOTE: This step is only necessary if equipped with Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL).
Carry out the BCM to Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) configuration/training procedure. Refer to: Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool .
- 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 (must include an on-demand self-test) and then repeat the self-test to confirm all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been cleared.
- If equipped with PAM, using a diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI process for the PAM following the on-screen instructions.
