Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Module Programming
Replacement Front Electronic Module (FEM), Rear Electronic Module (REM), and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module will require configuration data transfer after installation. Modules will be packaged in a kit which contains a warning label and multi-language sheet identifying requirements to configure replacement modules. New Generation Star (NGS) scan tool, or OBD-II compatible scan tool, must be used to retrieve configuration data from old module prior to removal from vehicle. This information must be transferred to new module, once installed. Scan tool will not retain stored configuration data information for longer than 24 hours. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
