Service Programming System Method

Tools Required:

Scan Tool (Tech 2)

Techline Equipment

Important:
Perform this procedure ONLY when the scan tool is unable to complete the Setup New BCM described previously. Do NOT perform this procedure without attempting the New BCM procedure with the scan tool first.

There are two ways of performing the service programming system method, depending on the type of Techline equipment available:

^ Direct Programming: Techline equipment directly connected to the vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC).

^ Indirect Programming: Techline equipment using scan tool to access the vehicle's DLC.

Read both procedures carefully and completely before proceeding. Perform one of them, either the direct or indirect programming. Do not perform both procedures.

Important:
Upon finishing successfully with this procedure, you must proceed with the Theft Deterrent Re-Learn procedure. Failure to perform the Theft Deterrent Re-Learn procedure after a new BCM installation on the vehicle, the vehicle may not be protected against theft by the Passlock system, or the engine will not crank or start.
