Body Control Module: Service and Repair

Service of the BCM should normally consist of either replacement of the BCM or a MEM-CAL change. If the diagnostic procedures call for the BCM to be replaced, the Memory-Calibration unit (MEM-CAL) and BCM should be checked first to see if they are the correct parts.

When replacing a production BCM with a service BCM, transfer the broadcast code and production number from the production unit to the service unit. Also, during replacement, the PROM, and the MEM-CAL must be removed from the BCM being replaced and transferred to the new unit.
