Performing the following procedure can automatically activate recommunication of ECM and BCM, but only when the ECM is replaced with a new one*.
*: New one means a virgin ECM that is never energized on-board.
(In this step, initialization procedure using CONSULT is not necessary)
NOTE:
-When the replaced ECM is not a brand new, the specified procedure (Initializing of BCM and registration of all ignition keys) using CONSULT is necessary.
