Entering Feature Customization Mode

The feature customization mode is used to configure the BCM to function in various applications. The BCM can be customized to change the following vehicle functions:
^ Interior Lighting Features

^ Content Theft Deterrent System.

In order to enter the feature customization mode perform the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.

When entering the feature customization mode, the BCM first identifies what type of BCM is installed on the vehicle by flashing the fasten seat belts indicator and sounds the chime 2, 3 or 4 times depending on the type of BCM used on the vehicle. There are 3 different types of BCM that can be installed on the vehicle based on the vehicle option content that matches the BCM capabilities. Ensure that the BCM installed on the vehicle is compatible with all of the features on the vehicle. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for BCM identification.
