RCM serial number RCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module stores the RCM serial number and verifies the serial number when the vehicle is started or the ignition is set to ON or ACC. Over time, the ABS module learns the offset of the stability sensors inside the RCM. When a new RCM serial number is found and the Interactive Vehicle Dynamics (IVD) Initialization procedure is carried out using a diagnostic scan tool, the ABS module resets the offset values learned for the yaw rate sensor, lateral accelerometer and roll rate sensor.
