If necessary, use the previous diagnostic scan tool session or start a diagnostic scan tool session using the PCM part number or tear tag number located on the PCM.

   NOTE: If installing a new BCM, verify at least 2 of the vehicle keys are available prior to carrying out this procedure.

   To install, reverse the removal procedure.
   

NOTE: Carry out the remaining steps only if installing a new BCM.
