On-Vehicle Service

Caution:
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR). Refer to CAUTIONS in Section 9J under "ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" and the SIR component and Wiring Location view in Section 9J before performing service on or around SIR components or wiring. Failure to follow CAUTIONS could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.

BCM Replacement
Technicians should not replace the BCM unless specifically directed to do so by the diagnostics in this Manual. Most system concerns are traceable to faulty wiring, connectors, or components. The BCM itself is very reliable, and is not likely the cause of a fault. BCM replacement before complete diagnosis is performed will likely lead to a recurrence of the fault.

The BCM electrical connectors are designed with indexing tabs and slots, and will only fit one way. The connectors do not require excessive force when installed correctly. Installing the connectors incorrectly can cause damage to the connectors, the BCM or other vehicle components or systems. BCM removal/replacement procedures can be found below.

Component Locations/Removal Procedures
Below is a list of each component that a BCM diagnostic chart may direct you to replace. Use the list to determine which Section in the Manual contains the removal and replacement procedures for the component in question. Refer below for BCM removal/replacement procedures.
