Control Module Programming: Notes

NOTE: When battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. Vehicle may need to be driven for approximately 10 miles or more to relearn strategy.

Some control modules require programming after replacement for proper system operation. See appropriate application table for programming information. If replacing a programmable module, see PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE . Some modules have the ability to have customer preferences configured such as belt minder, chimes, autolock/relock, etc. For programming customer preferences, see appropriate articles in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

NOTE: Central security module may also be referred to as a vehicle security module.
