IMPORTANT: The BCM can be programmed using only Pass-Thru procedure, do not remove the malfunctioning BCM from the vehicle until instructed to by TIS.
After the procedure is completed, the personalization settings of the BCM are set to a default setting. Inform the customer that the personalization must be set again.

Pass-Thru programming allows the scan tool to remain connected to the terminal and to the vehicle throughout the programming process. The vehicle must be in close proximity to the terminal while using Pass-Thru. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) in Programming and Setup for more information.
