File in Section: 08 - Body and AccessoriesBulletin No.: 03-08-52-006
Issue Date: October, 2003
Subject:
Installation of Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) to I0N2 Vehicles
Models Affected:
2003-2004 Saturn I0N2 Vehicles produced without convenience package (Vehicles with Power Locks but No Power Windows)
Attention: Fixed Operations Manager and Technician
Purpose:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide technical instructions for adding RKE to I0N2 vehicles not equipped with RKE as original equipment. The parts required to perform this procedure are a service body control module (BCM) and key fobs (transmitters). The service BCM contains the necessary hardware to allow RKE to function. This service BCM is the production part used in 10N2 vehicles with the convenience package and in all I0N3 vehicles. ION1 vehicles do not have power door locks; therefore adding RKE to ION1 vehicles is not possible.
Service Procedure:
Important:
When installing a BCM as an upgrade to obtain RKE, it is necessary to use the special labor operation provided at the end of this bulletin. The special labor operation informs the warranty system that any future repairs within the warranty period may be recognized as a warranty repair.
1. Write down mileage in current BCM.
2. Replace original BCM with new service BCM. Refer to "Body Control Module Replacement" procedure in the Body and Accessories section of the 2003 or 2004 Saturn ION Service Manual, Vol. 3.

4. Select "Service Programming System" from main screen.
5. Select "Replace and Reprogram" option.
