NOTE: If installing a new RFA  module, the ignition cannot be turned ON until a parameter reset is performed and 2 keys are programmed to the vehicle. The RFA  module still communicates with the scan tool with the ignition OFF. Use the previous scan tool session or start a scan tool session using the PCM  part number or tear tag.
