NOTE: The PMI (programmable module installation) application in the scan tool will guide you through completing the BCM (body control module) programming and key programming.
Run the PMI on the BCM.
- After keys have been programmed as directed by the on screen prompts, and the BCM programming has fully completed (as indicated by a module installation complete or successful message), carry out the PATS Module Initialization using the FDRS Scan Tool PATS Application.
- As directed by the scan tool, follow the onscreen prompts to relearn the TPMS sensors. Refer to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration .
- If equipped with a video rear parking aid (rear mounted only), using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the LIN New Module Initialization function.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BMS Learned Values Reset.
- Configure the BCM Programmable Parameters. Refer to: Module Programming .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test (must include an on-demand self-test) and then repeat the self-test to confirm all DTC have been cleared.

NOTE: This step only applies to vehicles without a stand-alone PAM (parking assist control module).
Using a diagnostic scan tool, complete the PMI process for the PAM following the on-screen instructions. Refer to: Module Configuration - System Operation and Component Description .
