In other words, any time either the WIN or the ELV is replaced with a new unit, BOTH the WIN and the ELV MUST be replaced with new units, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Following replacement of BOTH the WIN and the column lock module/ELV, the two modules MUST be initialized using diagnostic scan tool routines in the EXACT SEQUENCE that follows. Failure to follow this sequence may result in BOTH the new WIN and the new ELV being rendered unusable, requiring BOTH units to be replaced a second time.
