BCM (Body Control Module): Configuration: Description
CONFIGURATION has three functions as follows:
- READ CONFIGURATION is the function to read (extract) vehicle configuration of current BCM.
- WRITE CONFIGURATION-Manual selection is the function to select and write vehicle configuration on BCM manually.
- WRITE CONFIGURATION-Config file is the function to write vehicle configuration with the data extracted from current BCM.
- For READ CONFIGURATION and WRITE CONFIGURATION-Config file, refer to CONSULT-III Operation Manual.
- For WRITE CONFIGURATION-Manual selection using the following flow chart, identify the correct model and configuration list. Confirm and/or change setting value for each item according to the configuration list.
Depending on CONSULT-III software version being used, some or all of the write configuration items shown in the following configuration lists may be displayed. If an item does not appear on the CONSULT-III WRITE CONFIGURATION-Manual selection screen(s), then it is an auto setting item and it cannot be manually set or changed.
NOTE: Confirm vehicle model on IDENTIFICATION PLATE. Refer to "MODEL VARIATION ".
| ITEM | SET VAL |
|---|---|
| KEYLESS ENTRY | WITH <==> WITHOUT |
| I-KEY | WITH <==> WITHOUT |
| DTRL | WITH <==> WITHOUT |

- When replacing BCM, you must perform WRITE CONFIGURATION with CONSULT-III.
