Body Control Module: Testing and Inspection




Body Control System: Configuration

Description

Vehicle specification needs to be written with SDT because it is not written after replacing BCM.

Configuration has three functions as follows

- READ CONFIGURATION is the function to read (extract) vehicle configuration of current BCM.
- WRITE CONFIGURATION - Manual setting 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.

CAUTION:

- When replacing BCM, you must perform WRITE CONFIGURATION with SDT.
- Complete the procedure of WRITE CONFIGURATION in order.
- If you set incorrect WRITE CONFIGURATION, incidents will occur.
- Configuration is different for each vehicle model. Confirm configuration of each vehicle model.
