Body Control Module Programming and Setup

Each of the following courses of action requires a setup or programming procedure before the body control module (BCM) can be put into normal service.

Body Control Module (BCM) Replacement

If the BCM is replaced, the following procedures must be performed in the subsequent order:

* BCM Reprogramming-Refer to Programming and Relearning Programming and Relearning
* Theft Learn-Refer to Programming Immobilizer System Components. Programming and Relearning

Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) Replacement

If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed:
