Central Control Module

I/P Center Support System/DERM Module/CCM:






If a CCM is replaced, the service CCM must be programmed for the VATS (PASS-Key) keys which came with the vehicle. When replacing the CCM, it will also be necessary to program the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chip in the new CCM. Refer to the Tech 1 (T-1) or CAMS (T-100) User Instructions.

Before replacing a CCM due to a VATS (PASSKey) code (Codes 51-65), make sure the VATS (PASSKey) key resistor contacts are clean and free of any grease, oil, etc.

These substances can interfere with the VATS (PASSKey) key detection circuit, possibly causing the CCM to set a code when a true fault does not exist.

NOTICE: The electrical connectors are designed to fit correctly in only one way; there are indexing tabs and slots on both halves of the connector. Forcing the connectors into place is not necessary if they are being installed with the proper orientation. Failure to take care to match the indexing tabs and slots to ensure the connector is being installed correctly can cause damage to the connector, the module, or other vehicle components or systems.

NOTE: Removing Radio Control will give view of CCM bayouts - makes installation easier.
